hey, I just started a new job and its kinda what shal I say not as stimulating as I am used to…. I have lots of extra time kinda feel bored. I keep on asking my supervisor what I can do- what else should I focus on etc etc but there isnt that much altogether.. should I browse the net… log the coffee room… untill I am given something else to do- or should I just sit there- stiff bored? which one gives off a worst impression?
Why don’t you ask your supervisor if he/she minds if you browse online when bored. Many bosses actually like that bec this way you enjoy your job even if it’s not so busy.
I cannot for the life of me, see how CR time (which is as healthful as sunshine) can be lumped together with “browsing the net” which is a pure waste of time.
OTOH, your supervisor no doubt visits the CR, so more than likely, you’re about to get a whole lot of work coming your way…..
I think that as long as your work is done in a diligent and timely manner, what you do in between projects shouldnt bother your boss/supervisor. That being said, it never hurts to organize/alphabetize/categorize (you get the drift) something without being told.

You are telling her to become OCD? Great advice! 🙂
BP TOtty: As healthful as sunshine… i think that’s pushing it. 🙂

Nothing wrong with having everything in alphabetical order including all papers, supplies, items on desk itms in drawer… 🙂
You’re not being paid to browse the internet. It’s theft of services and in the company I work for, web surfing is monitored and can lead to being fired.
At another com[any I worked for, there were frum women , who were paid by the hour, who we caught answering their personal e-mail and buying things on line. I finally made them understand that doing this while being paid to work is stealing from the employer

Scary that they all are.

What happens when something gets mixed up? Do you lose it?

I’m not psychotic, just organized.

WIY & Sac – you ought to use the /flirt attribute at the end of comments.
When my boss hired me a few years ago, he told me that I can use the phone and internet as much as I want, as long as the work load of the day is done its fine. It all depends on ur boss.
WellInformedYid You have time for this?
Arent you busy earning the “Greatest ????? of the Decade Award” alerting people about Halacha that is ignored”?
Shouldnt be here
I post Halachos Ltoeles the Oilum here because I care about other people and want them to do the right thing because I think the Oilum here is the type that would appreciate learning about Halachos that they don’t know so they can incorporate it into their lives. I’m not trying to be a Mochiach, just someone who wants to be Mezakeh others with Mitzvos.
Hourly employees are probably treated differently, but most salaried employees are governed by a) the need to complete designated tasks promptly and b) an acceptable use (of company resources) policy. So long as neither a nor b are violated there should be no grounds for discipline or disapproval. Despite that, it is still best to make sure that your supervisor won’t have a problem with your useage because a disgruntled supervisor can make you miserable even without grounds.
