Hey y’all! I might not be in the right place for this but I just started an unpaid internship (required for my degree plan) and I have so much downtime during the day in my cubicle I want to off myself. What do y’all do to kill time at work?
This is my first week and the place I am at is clearly so disorganized and the staff are all incredibly burnt out and just over it. My supervisor is on vacation this week so there’s no one there to train me but they’re still having me come in. Naively, (and because at first I was still so excited for this new opportunity and experience, that’s worn off already) I went to my supervisor’s supervisor yesterday to ask if there was anything I could do or learn and they hurriedly shoved PowerPoint print outs and material at me that I literally already had printed out in my binder from the orientation week prior.
Basically I’m saying they’re all so burnt out and over worked no one wants to actually let me shadow them or god forbid show me how to do something useful so I be decided I’ll just chill in my cubicle until my time is up. What inconspicuous activities would y’all do to entertain yourselves for 8 hours? Literally no one checked on or engaged with me after 10 am today, I wonder if they would have noticed if I had left LOL. I’m also trying to lose weight so the boredom is TERRIBLE for my diet.
I’m bringing my iPad tomorrow so I can work on school stuff but wondered if y’all have any cheeky little tricks to kill time in a more fun way.
Cheers! xx
