Paid to chill

Just which other job pays you to watch movies and play computer games? And then your boss comes in to thank you and treats you for dinner?

Yeah.That was what happened to me late last night. My bosses were having this big, very urgent meeting. They needed us around to help out with some adjustments and documentations when they were done. So, we need to hang around to wait for them. Not allowed to leave. Well then, what is there to do? We played a DVD and watched a 2 hour movie. Still not done. We chatted for a while. Still not done. We hit the buttons and went ballistic over Super Mario. Another hour passed. Oh...they finally came out.

Boss said, "Sorry to keep you all waiting. Please put in this adjustment and have this printed out." Yes, boss. It was 10pm then and all of us had skipped dinner. Boss said, "Well, thank you all for your hard work. Come, lets go for dinner." Hard work? Okay. Maybe it was kinda hard killing time with DVDs and games when you obviously know that you have your next job screaming out to you.

See. Ain't my job nice? Me, as a senior, was actually being paid to hang around and chill. I don't know if I should laugh or feel sorry or feel pissed or just be glad? But it did happened.
