Also, beware those people who play solitare all day and surf the internet excessively. In this economy budgets have ways of falling apart and those people are the first to go. You've got the right idea... Always find busy work. It stinks but it's the only real choice.
I also just wanted to tell you that my job involves babysitting phones. They don't ring, I have nothing to do. I end up actually envying people who talk about how busy they are all day. Hang in there!

Me too. I'm very jealous of the people who have work to do all day. I think it's been bothering me more than usual since this week and the week before have been particularly slow. I was never too overloaded with work to begin with, but I'm thinking it's the calm before the storm. I'm about to get involved in two major projects soon, so that'll give me a lot to do.
So what do you do while you're waiting for the phones to ring? I've been trying to read some marketing-related material, go on our parent company's website to learn more about their corporate culture programs, read more about the products, etc, but I can only do that for so long before I want to poke my eye out. Then it's back on MSN. I know this is just temporary and that once things pick up again, I won't have nearly as much time on my hands, but it's frustrating when I have nothing to do. I feel like I'm willing to work, like I want to be a great employee, they just have to give me something to do.
