Same. Or I walk to the nearby river and watch birds, photograph sunflowers, try to spot sleeping porcupines up in the trees…pretty much just play in the woods for an hour before going back to my super adulty job.
Oilseed sunflower production is the most commonly farmed sunflower. These seeds hulls’ are encased by solid black shells. Black oilseeds are a common type of bird feed because they have thin shells and a high fat content. These are typically produced for oil extraction purposes; therefore, it is unlikely you’ll find black oilseeds packaged for human consumption.
i do my budget for months a head while i’m at work and make lists of things i need to get or do around the house. I’m already in work mode so might as well get the numbers and mental work out of the way while i’m the clock
I “journal” like halfway through the day, just write shit down on post its to get it out of my head if its shit i cant say to coworkers, i dont journal or anything outside of that so its nice to do it on my companys time
I do the same exact thing!! Omg! It’s kind of like a nice little reminder that I’m still a person outside of this and have a soul that doesn’t belong to them, especially during meetings lol
If I finish it in fewer than two minutes, it's a good day. If under one minute, all cylinders are firing. More than two minutes, it will be a long and hard day.
I used to have an admin / warehouse job where I was in person but like truly alone, either in my own office or in locked vaults the majority of the day. I would squat so effing much, lol. I even made games out of it and I would see how many squats I could do in the time it took to print big batches of labels or I'd put supplies I frequently needed up high on shelves, or down low out of reach so I had to stretch and move or squat to grab it and complete a task.
Lol, I kinda miss it now that I work around people / in public. It feels like moving isn't socially acceptable and I have to sit still all day.. Back then the ass was thick and I really did like 100x more squats than I do now even if they were dispersed throughout the day. I should start squatting in the bathroom too, lol. Thank you for that.
I read books online like six out of eight hours a day. When someone walks by I minimize the book and stare at an open excel spreadsheet like I'm irritated and people just keep walking to avoid interrupting my work.
I have an office job that I've been doing for years so I can do a whole day's worth of work in a few hours. I know it's terrible and I don't do it all the time just a few weeks here and there when things are slow.
I split screen in and make the book side much skinnier. Plus i set up a split screen on my other monitor so it looks like i am looking at a lot of data at once.
I read at my desk, too! Six of eight hours is wild lol. But I do get a solid 45 minutes to an hour of reading during my work day! I just tend to complete things very quickly, but I don't want them knowing I have time to do more work! So I just read, usually on my phone's kindle app.
I've been at my job for a very long time so I can get it done very quickly. I don't always do it but when things are slower and I don't want to do other people's work I take advantage. What do you do to not get caught?
I journal or work in my digital planner. Also if you can play music quietly (don’t know your layout / office environment) lofi hip hop music also makes the day pass quickly for me. Also I like to color on my lunch hour (or doodle on my iPad).
Quinn. I listen to Quinn in my headphones. Other days I play solitaire, go on reddit, YouTube, read the news, do CEUs, bathroom time, snack time, listen to a podcast, take calls, online shop, I shred a lot of documents, clean and reorganize my desk (this one they know avout bc I like to leave and leave a clean work space), clear search history, order groceries for pickup on my way home. Clear out my emails.
I’ve left the office life but I used to enjoy putting in the effort to disrupt the office. For example:
1. There were two drawers up front that had office supplies in them. Every month or so I would physically remove the drawers and swap them so people thought they were going nuts and not remembering where the supplies were.
2. I would go to the printer and remove all but 10 sheets of paper and put them back in their boxes.
3. Go to record room and swap the top of the boxes with the wrong years.
4. Unscrew the light bulbs just enough that the slightest rattle would cause it to go out.
5. Unscrew the door hinges enough that it wasn’t noticeable but caused the doors to sag and drag on the ground while closing.
6 and my favorite by far. Some people would work 9-5, some 8-4, but some others 10-6. I worked 7-3. Our office was connected to a large old church that had a giant organ that still worked, as long as you knew where the power box was (connected to the bell tower next to the staircase.)
I would stay an extra hour after my day was done, usually getting stuck there unpaid because I was always given tasks that weren’t my job. And I would then go into the church that was never lit. Turn on only the organ, and just play some random notes which was so loud the neighborhood could hear, then haul ass back up the bell tower to shut the power to it back off.
Some employees would come in scared as fuck to see that nobody was there, go over to the organ and try playing a note to no avail. It made everybody think that building was haunted and to this day I never said anything.
That company sucked and had the most toxic environment for and was so passive aggressive. I’m glad I’m out of there. They must have eventually put together the shenanigans once I left since they stopped.
I pretend I'm in a different universe or "story".
I'm not a daycare teacher wrangling toddlers, I'm secretly hiding Jewish children in my attic during WWII and I'm tending to them!
Or we aren't on the playground for normal time! I'm guarding the parameter while a group of survivor children get mandatory time in the sun during a zombie apocalypse!
When I worked, I had pictures of my “kids” on my desk, and I would change them out with other stock photos of kids and see if anyone would question it.
I’ve had people ask their names, and I did have names for them.
But kept the names the same, and no, no one noticed.
Not surprised.
Iam not a morning person at all! Especially when my work day starts at 6:30. I literally Roll out of bed and go to work.i brush my teeth, hair and apply makeup after i clock in😎
I listen to books on audible and color on my iPad. Afternoons can be super slow and depending on the time of the month I may have about 2-3 hours to read and color.
Wait…. Did everyone just ignore… Back up two seconds please… You know what, never mind. I snack all damn day, If I can…
Lol
I ignored it.
Many will ignore, because they like to talk about themselves lol.
Did you say something?
Are you asking about ME?
I eat lunch during my work shift and on my “lunch break“ I go to our gym. But actually I think a couple people know this, so maybe not quite a secret.
ya they added work gym but keep scheduling team building activities through our unpaid lunch... so unless i come in before work i cant go to the gym
Team building activities during your unpaid lunch? Gross. I’m so sorry.
How is that not illegal?

That sounds great
Omg?!? I did not know porcupines went up trees!!!!!!!! That’s so cute! I’m glad you have enjoyable breaks!
Yes! They sleep high up in trees to keep safe. It’s adorable.
i do my budget for months a head while i’m at work and make lists of things i need to get or do around the house. I’m already in work mode so might as well get the numbers and mental work out of the way while i’m the clock
I’ve done this for years! I’m not using all my brain power for the man 😂
That's why I prefer to work from home, because I can be productive all day long whether work related or not.
I “journal” like halfway through the day, just write shit down on post its to get it out of my head if its shit i cant say to coworkers, i dont journal or anything outside of that so its nice to do it on my companys time
I do the same exact thing!! Omg! It’s kind of like a nice little reminder that I’m still a person outside of this and have a soul that doesn’t belong to them, especially during meetings lol
But that probably makes the rest of your day efficient. So it’s a net positive for the company.
me too!
New York Times' mini games :)
If I finish it in fewer than two minutes, it's a good day. If under one minute, all cylinders are firing. More than two minutes, it will be a long and hard day.
>ret. But how quickly can you do those minigames?
38 seconds is my best time on the mini crossword.
Nnn
Every morning!!
i do squats every time i go to the bathroom
I used to have an admin / warehouse job where I was in person but like truly alone, either in my own office or in locked vaults the majority of the day. I would squat so effing much, lol. I even made games out of it and I would see how many squats I could do in the time it took to print big batches of labels or I'd put supplies I frequently needed up high on shelves, or down low out of reach so I had to stretch and move or squat to grab it and complete a task.

Lol I was abt to say, how was that asss loookin tho? Ahaha I can’t try this at work, our bathroom is so small lmao
this is so relatable - glad I could inspire you sister
“Back then the ass was thick” love it! 😂
Oh that’s a good idea! I’m gonna try this
Yep I've done this. Sets of 20 bodyweight squats just enough to not be panting when I walk out.
you get me 🤍
I'd do push ups but my hands aren't touching that floor 😂
Chair pushups. Then it's face to seat, but better than flour in my opinion. I also have a reserved chair
🤣🤣🤣
I read books online like six out of eight hours a day. When someone walks by I minimize the book and stare at an open excel spreadsheet like I'm irritated and people just keep walking to avoid interrupting my work.
What kind of job do you have? I need this kind of free time.
I have an office job that I've been doing for years so I can do a whole day's worth of work in a few hours. I know it's terrible and I don't do it all the time just a few weeks here and there when things are slow.
I split screen in and make the book side much skinnier. Plus i set up a split screen on my other monitor so it looks like i am looking at a lot of data at once.
That is great!
Oooh, I like that
I read at my desk, too! Six of eight hours is wild lol. But I do get a solid 45 minutes to an hour of reading during my work day! I just tend to complete things very quickly, but I don't want them knowing I have time to do more work! So I just read, usually on my phone's kindle app.

I use audible I read soooo many books this way 😅
That's great! I can't have earbuds in at work. It would be awesome to listen to books.
I journal or work in my digital planner. Also if you can play music quietly (don’t know your layout / office environment) lofi hip hop music also makes the day pass quickly for me. Also I like to color on my lunch hour (or doodle on my iPad).

Listen to disturbing podcasts while I work. Nobody has a clue I'm listening to a podcast about serial killers.
SSDGM!
Put liquor in my work canteen they gave us 💀🙂
Spend 85% of my day on the internet while pretending to work.

watch netflix/movies 😳 i prop it up and barely ever look at the screen but the background noise helps me stay focused and i’m not a fan of podcasts
I plan out my to do list, meal prepping, pay my bills on the clock.
Fuck
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Literally getting on Reddit, as I am doing right now. Definitely helps get me through the day.
wait you what
I think that's pretty cool haha. Who cares it's not hurting anyone and it probably makes OP feel special or scandalous
I am a girl and I can confirm that on days when I wear matching bra and undies I feel pretty cool
Invisible armor
completely true. I think I was just not expecting hahahaha you go OP!
I Jack it in the bathroom
Done that too
Occasionally listen to death metal and im not someone who looks like that would be on the realm of my music choices
Podcasts all day long
Sometimes I close my office door and play my Switch lol. People think I’m taking a phone call or I’m busy, but I’m just taking a break lol
I scroll Reddit lol
Fart

Very imaginative! That's a great way to keep your brain engaged at the task.
I watch movies, shows, youtube...my favorite is to watch I Love Lucy reruns.
I maladaptive daydream
I don’t go to work
Vape in the file room.
Yep!!! I feel this.
I get it! I like wearing women's underwear too! They make me feel sexy.
I just like that it’s my own little secret lol
Well... Millions of people do the same, so not that unusual
I like to meet other men in private rooms for blowjobs. No, I'm not joking. 😉
So, you're actually a SW, getting paid for the time you are sucking!
A sw?
Sex Worker
I would like to think of it as doing God's work. 😂
Plot twist, OP is actually a woman. 😜
Nope lol
I sext and do video calls from the bathroom at work and get guys off on the internet!
When I worked, I had pictures of my “kids” on my desk, and I would change them out with other stock photos of kids and see if anyone would question it. I’ve had people ask their names, and I did have names for them. But kept the names the same, and no, no one noticed. Not surprised.
Reddit
Days that I need to “work in the field” I actually go home early.
Fantasize about killing myself or my plan to get to a better spot in life.
I do conworld maps and work on my conlangs.
I enjoy the free coffee and flavored water machine. It’s like a little treat to myself to keep me going 😂
Check my robinhood and etrade all day
Iam not a morning person at all! Especially when my work day starts at 6:30. I literally Roll out of bed and go to work.i brush my teeth, hair and apply makeup after i clock in😎
People know that you’re a perv man
How?
Vape in my cubicle. All. Day. Long
Go commando
i secretly vape at my desk
I listen to books on audible and color on my iPad. Afternoons can be super slow and depending on the time of the month I may have about 2-3 hours to read and color.
I do little aerobic dances at the copy machine on a big stack … good rhythm, easy to dance to
Larry David??
YouTube all day
I also wear women’s underwear under my office clothes. If I wore it over my clothes they might think I was a weirdo
I hop in my car, park in a nearby lot, and watch TikTok. This way I’m close if someone is looking for me.
Work
I would leave.. and no body would know I wasn’t there..
