I don't work Fridays.

**digitaldeath** · 07-25-2014, 12:34 PM

It's for the birds. Now I have all day to play video games, watch porn, lift, smoke and collect Benjamin's. Sure I don't have 700$ payments on some 328 or have a rental property to manage, but I still maintain a ranking of 8.7 on the slopes.

Are you suckers at the jobsite?

I say boooooo

What kind of chop saw do you own?

It's the new America. Its better than saying "I'm marginally employed." Not enough work anymore to keep people busy for a whole week. Vive la France.

No one who works in an outside capacity works Fridays if they can help it.

That or they're lazy.

She'd be using her strap on

**RockChalk** · 07-25-2014, 02:27 PM

I have two entitles broads in my office, fresh out of college, that leave every Friday at noon while the rest of us actually have work to do and stick it out until at least 5.

Im going to make a fucking scene today.

Fucking as an adjective or verb?

It's OK; I have fantasies about being a mohel.

**RockChalk** · 07-25-2014, 02:44 PM

One of them is a self described "mill rat" which is in reference to the cesspool that is Mill St in Tempe, AZ.
The other is treading a fine line between a goth/dubstep whore/nose tackle...

Sooooo, adjective.

What kind of jobs are they in? Is it something where leaving at noon on a Friday is acceptable? What does the boss say? What's their motivation? Who in the office do they have nekkid pics of?

**RockChalk** · 07-25-2014, 03:30 PM

One is an executive asst/admin type role... the executive in question is rarely in the office and has created an environment wherein this broad is essentially loathed by everyone in the office, but protected by the boss lady. Her tasks typically range from picking up said drunken executive from bars/concerts at any hour of the night to planning company parties with a "glitter" theme... which executive wench is OK with because it helps her relive her glory years in Tucson.

Its honestly such a cluster fuck. Boss is to drunk/absent to care and is under the impression that this chick is a superstar and isn't afraid to talk her up to clients/vendors/competitors. Its like im taking crazy pills most days when I get to witness this shit. The managers that ARE present cant say shit to her bc she reports to the head honcho.

The other is her friend from college, guilty/included by association.

Motivation? Probably the same as mine, to get home and drink a cocktail while enjoying the peace pipe.

Lets just say I day dream about the contents of my resignation letter quite a bit.

Edit to add... these two are salaried. So am I.

**digitaldeath** · 07-25-2014, 03:38 PM

I made a few lucrative black market transactions. Shot off an sw 45. Hit da gym. Now I'm gonna smoke and do laundry.

I like the new work desperate America. Shorter hours. Lowered expectations. Casual malfeasance

**RockChalk** · 07-25-2014, 03:54 PM

When I was living in Minneapolis right after I graduated college it seemed that every one of my friends that worked downtown had "summer hours" which meant essentially no work on Fridays.

Only place Ive ever seen something like that. I guess its probably because that for the remaining 8 months of the year, Minneapolis is a barren icy wasteland.

**digitaldeath** · 07-25-2014, 03:59 PM

Very true. The weather in minneapolis is bad. I believe that mn has some of the largest temperature swings in the nation. Unfortunately I no longer work downtown. I work across from Vikings winter park. So me and AD get lunch all the time! Haha.

We got a cboat on Calhoun. So that's exclusive. No wind today to sail with Clarence. He's upset. Sticky out here too. Tennis would be fun. I'm prob ranked 3.5-4 with 4.5 serving and backhand. Near next level play

**nickwm21** · 07-25-2014, 04:14 PM

By the end of Thursday, I typically have already racked up 44+ hours so no one really gives a shit when I leave early on Friday as long as my shit is under control...

BUT - I am at work right now, cause my shit in NOT under control. Probably should not be on TGR...

**systemoverblow'd** · 07-25-2014, 04:19 PM

We used to run 'summer hours.' the practical upshot of which is working four 10 hour days (like we don't already) and taking Fridays off. However, it's all dependant on coverage. Being my department is lightly staffed and I have a couple skills no one in the company has, I basically got fucked. Luckily, my manager is cool and if I'm not busy on a Friday I usually cut out around noon. That only really happens once or twice a month if I'm lucky.

And if I have an insane week with a light Monday following, I'm usually told to not bother coming in if I can get it done from home. Which is nice.

**bendtheski** · 07-25-2014, 04:19 PM

I usually work 4-10's. Either Wed-Sat, or Sun-Wed.

I had to wait close to 30 years to get a 4-day week, and I'm never giving that shit up! Honestly, I don't know why more employers don't go to a 4-day week, especially the ones that are open 24/7.

Working a Saturday to have Sun-Tues off during ski season is tits! Wanna know how to solve the I-70 skier traffic problem?

**Name Redacted** · 07-25-2014, 04:55 PM

I don't work Mondays. F that shit. It let's everyone get all the mess that happened over the weekend sorted and I roll in on Tuesday and half the problems that I would have had to deal with on Monday have worked themselves out.

But I guess it depends what you do and where you do it. I make my own schedule, so I can do either.
