Written Into A Corner...

Who's at work right now?
Yours truly, that's who.
Couple fun things to note about this: firstly, I'm effectively the "guy in charge" at my place of business. We're a satellite branch but our main location is a 2-hour drive from here, so my employers only come over once every couple of weeks to deliver supplies and pep talks. When they're not here, I'm the ranking employee - official title is "senior technician". Lemme just puff my chest out a little bit...
We don't normally have a computer at my shop, but today I brought my laptop because I knew I'd be bored. Why? Because I'm the only employee in here right now. Our other guys are out on business routes and they needed someone to stick around here because we've put an ad in the paper... need some new employees. My job is to sit here and have them fill theirs out, talk with them for a couple minutes, figure out who should get a full interview and who shouldn't get the time of day, that sort of thing. I'm doing that for 6 hours today.
I'm not exactly doing this under the radar, either. My bosses are aware I bring my laptop, especially for instances like this. They've never told me to knock it off. Days like this, I'm pretty thankful I have a job and employers that allow for me to simultaneously goof off and get paid.
A guy just came in and he's about done with his app. Gotta run!
Who else is playing around on TPM while on the clock?
