Friday Afternoon Procrastination

[Bjornebye]

Slowest fucking period of the week. I swear it was 1pm fucking 10 hours ago. I work in business to business sales as a manager and on a Friday afternoon my team pretty much do admin work because hardly any of their clients are in.

 

Apart from coming on here what do you do to look busy / avoid conversation and get through this horrible time.

 

I've been sat on Google Maps and just travelled from Rio Grande to Pheonix.  

[Mook]

I was looking at some hills from back home that I like looking at pictures of & debating some stuff on a music forum I use.

 

On my way home now, thank fuck.

[TheHowieLama]

I will get to this tomorrow

4pm - 5pm is fucking brutal. Literally every other person I know finishes early on a Friday. This is what it must’ve been like in Belsen.

Found a YouTube channel yesterday with about year's worth of poker night live coverage from about 12 years ago.

Fucking hideous them last few hours on a Friday. The alcohol gets broken out at 4pm and everyone has a beer or a wine (not my teetotal self of course) so things loosen up a bit and not much happens workwise.

 

I do the Google maps thing too. I've toured most of the world's major cities.

[Remmie]

Have you played Geoguesser where you are dropped in a random location in the world on google maps and you have to try and guess/deduce where you are?

Ace, cheers Rem.

When I was first over here I worked in a place where the hash cakes used to come out on a Friday. Used to be people passed out at their work place. Today I was pleased that we were busy enough that the day went fast.

Thou shalt spell the word "Pheonix" P-H-E-O-N-I-X not P-H-O-E-N-I-X, regardless of what the Oxford English Dictionary tells you.

Did you ever watch High Stakes Poker? That was a great show.

I work from home on a Friday so my weekend starts at around 4pm on a Thursday.

 

To get me through the last few working hours of a week though, I tend to read Wikipedia. Find a movie I've liked and read up on how it was put together, how it was cast etc. Other things I'll read up on there are things like heists, major events in time and unsolved mysteries/conspiracies. Makes the afternoon fly by.

Last job I had I was in hotels all week and did my office admin on a Friday morning. I twatted it all week so my boss was cool with letting me head off around lunch as it was a 4 hour drive home. I had to be back in the office for our weekly get together at 9am Monday. That meant leaving around 5am but I did not mind that.

Anyway the stupid bints in the office got jealous of me leaving early and complained that they should be able to go too. The boss told them to fuck off but then under pressure was forced to move our weekly motivational Monday planning meeting to become a Friday 4pm activity summary meeting meaning it was nearly 10pm when I got home.

[Stouffer]

I only do 8-12 on a Friday and that's taken up by meetings, it's the quickest day of the week for me.

I plug in my headphones and listen to episodes of Night Vale.

[Tony Moanero]

I mostly practise keepy ups with my ball sack. Having long balls is boss.

[niallers]

I finish at 2.45pm on a Friday. We work 15 mins extra each day throughout the week to get off the hour early. 7.30 to 3.45 every day. Best thing bout the cunting place however!

High Stakes Poker was easily the best live poker show. I have zero interest in watching tournaments so having live cash games was ace, and HSP was ten years ago so every player wasn't a 23 year old wearing a scarf and saying nothing for 10 hours.

 

Poker Night Live was very different though. They had two presenters (about ten in total of which they rotated). They would show online cash, SnGs and MTTs but at levels where we could play. So we were all afforded minor celebrity status. The presenters would also play in the games sometimes, etc. It was generally just fucking ace. The actual advice seems dated now, but it's still ace to watch.

Watching poker makes watching 5 day cricket matches look like a 100m sprint. Cannot think of many things more boring.
