And for using the Internet.

YES

he's right, you know.

Started a new job and it's my fourth day but I still hardly have anything to do. Everyone is so busy they don't have much time to get me up to speed and I'm running out of things to do to look busy.

Been training some new people here in my office and I've run into the same situation, not quite sure what to give them. Hang in there buddy!

Make them sort out all of the paperclips by color as a test of their devotion.

I'm glad this is isn't an isolated experience at least. My position is for Lead Generation and I have no experience in sales so I'm at a loss for tasks. Wish they would give me a shot at the creative stuff they need done. My basic Photoshop and Illustrator skills are good enough and I think I could actually be of some use.

I'd bug 'em to give you some stuff to do! Or just fool around in photoshop and illustrator making stuff!

Yeah I try to chime in every time creative work comes up (and it's not even that creative, they just need text on images for explanations or data sheets that look nice and consistent) but the answer is always "we'll see." Even though a customer needed a marked up image by three yesterday and someone just didn't do it. Would have taken me 15 minutes tops.

Also I can't install any programs on my computer without IT's permission so I'm stuck just reading manuals and messing around with other software we use.

That's dumb!! Hang in there duder

I would so much rather have the problem you guys are having at work. I started at 5AM today and had to work a surprise 10-hour shift. And I have to be there at 5AM for the next four days, which will put me at 7 days straight. I'm inches from putting in my notice, but I don't have anything to fall back on

Grosssss. Good luck, dude. I almost quit my job recently for a dishwashing gig, which wasn't by choice, but I was ready to take ANYTHING else. Then I remembered how shitty washing dishes is.

Working overnight has totally fucked my sleep up, I'm lucky to get 5 hours straight before I jolt awake half a day before my shift starts. Taking a nap before leaving helps, but that's really just a survival technique. I need a lot of sleep or the barriers keeping super-negative-cynical-depressed-asshole mode from activating get dragged down really fast.
I think I might be moving to days soon, which will be a life saver. I have no problem staying up to ridiculous hours, but I absolutely hate working through them.

And my Particle appears to have been stolen off my doorstep
