The 'I'm not doing any work' Thread

[ian the worm]

My wife is delivering my daughter on the Sunday when I’ve finished my work. 

This morning I’ve drawn her a map instead of doing any proper work. 

[srb]

Yeah, I haven't done a pick this morning. Been on here flat out and gazing at absolute nonsense on the computer. This week is going to be a disgrace on my part

[rosieangel]

Ths has been the case for me since last week! It helps that my boss is frequently awol but it somewhat unsettles me how much of the day I can be on this forum and get away with it. Not that I'm complaining!

This is some excellent Glastonbury procrastination. 10/10.

The only reason I'm doing any work today is I'm on site on the tools... Last week in the office on my own, the amount of productivity was woeful. If the wife knew the extent of it I'd be sleeping with the dog.

Double screens ftw. 

One screen on "work"  the other religiously checking up on the weather thread

Yep, productivity has completely dropped.......and I'm not even going to the festival! ?

I'd much rather spend my time reading through the forums! ?

Hi Ian,

My wife is delivering my daughter on the Sunday too.

Although I've arranged to meet them at the Collect and Drop Off Point as B&W Showground (which means getting the shuttle bus).

Is your plan above a (secret 'hack') option for all ...or are you only able to do that because you're working the festival?

Many thanks,

Woffy

Edit: Love the map annotation, btw!!! 'Random Cars + Vans + Confusion'!!!

Its basically a hack as you can't get to the red compound by foot.  But I probably have access to a crew car so I can pop up from The Park and collect - doing the passout and re-entry at Gate 5.

If the crew car is busy then I'll just hitch a lift up and back.

You working or punter?

[kaytee...]

The day is definitely dragging already and still four to go!

I seriously object to the inaccuracies on that map. There shall be no mud.

I don’t have enough time to properly get in the right frame of mind, think it’ll only become a reality when I drive off on Monday.

Just done a 14 hour day volunteering at the India vs Pakistan Cricket World Cup match and I’m as tired as if it were the Monday after Glastonbury. 

What do you get for the volunteer work if you don't mind me asking? Not a great game in the end sadly!

[Homer]

I'm being quite productive - as in I'm listening to Foals' latest album ahead of their 'secret' set while I sit here doing nothing as part of my Glastonbury revision.

[morph100]

My working day now looks like this:

• check work email
• check eFests forum
• check web cam
• check NetWeather forum
• check Twitter
• check eFests agaiin
• tweak clashfinder
• check work email
• repeat

[dazednconfused]

I am so busy, I don’t know where to start thus hanging out here instead...

I do really really need to deliver two marketing plans by next Monday though, might take laptop into internet free garden to crack on with that.  

 

EDIT: Tinternet reaches to my garden table. I am doomed.

shouldn't you be preparing for the delivery rather than the map , congratulations  

[DesperateDad]

I've shifted forward 2 mammoth reports, typically be delivered next week, into this week, consequentially upping this week's work barometer to pressure levels akin to those delivered by an Azores Finger. 

The up-side being I don't have to deliver them in the 3 days I'm working in the post-Glasto week(!)

Still struggling to maintain the focus...

Thanks for getting back Ian; appreciated.

I'm a punter, so was just looking for an easier option that C&DO at B&W! Which, to be fair, isn't too bad and I've planned all along from it.

I've probably not got the confidence to try and do a blag even if it was a possibility!

The fact that the “I’m not doing any work thread” just dropped into page two of the forum is a worrying indication that everyone is doing some work.

[Homer]

Just did about 20 mins of the stuff - going to reward myself with a nice, relaxing 20-minute read of the weather thread ?
