RantRantRantEughYou are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. There should be a law against working afer 5pm on a Friday. I mean, really, how am I expected to fill this last, final, interminable, dragging hour on a Friday with actual productive work? The advertising industry has it right. They skip the whole issue by heading for lunch and not coming back. Or at the very least the do something civilised like drag everyone off to the in-house bar or local around 4pm. But no, not architects, or at least not these ones. I will never again complain about a 35hr working week. Okay, well I might, but I'm certain if I do everyone will point ot this post to me... I mean, if you've got a job that makes you a bit of a clock-watcher I'm sure you can understand that feeling of how subjectively time just gets slower and slower the closer to 5pm you get. Now picture if at 4pm you still had two hours left to go, no, not just one, but two!!! Eugh. I swear, it takes longer to get though the last two hours of the day than it takes to get though the other six. Also over the last while I've been somewhat more productive. This means that I'm getting work done. I can almost see my desk! However, it also means I'm running out of the easy, brainless time-devouring things to do and I'm just getting left with the petty, annoying or down-right horrid tasks at the bottom of the aformentioned lists. Task that will forces me to grill Mike on his filing system, or spend hours sitting on hold, or to well, just think! None of which are tasks appropriate to the last hour of a Friday. Especially the last hour when the rest of the sane working world really doesn't want you phoning them and querying an account or quibbling over payment because they're not there, they're at the pub like NORMAL Londoners!!
