I was lagging for a good year at the job. Plenty of mid-day Clutchfans posts. About 4 hours in 7 hour workday that shoulda have been 8. Now they've locked me down and banned my internet completely lol. Which is a good thing really....
I just experienced something both funny and relevant to this topic... I got into work today, and I stop into my boss's office...we end up chatting for about an hour about random crap, and I finally mention that we should probably start working since it was nearly 10am. He said "as far as I'm concerned, today is our day off". So instead of working, we went to Starbucks. When we got back, we split up and went to our respective desks. About 5 minutes ago I sent him an instant message that said "I don't think I've done 1 second of work yet today". His response? "Good."
Im in high school and im currently doing an internship for the summer. My best advice would be to act like your working the whole. You want your boss/manager to see that your working hard. Also, try to avoid getting distracted from things such as the world wide web. But i guess im a hypocrite cause im at work right now, but yet clutchfans always comes first.
most days its like 6 hours of work stretched to an 8 hour day some days its 12 hours of work packed into an 8 hour day i would say on average 7 hours i am at a desk most if not all of the day, lets me keep a tab for CF open to check back in and out of here
