NOTE 1: J had a malfunction with a part of the machine he operates, so he called maintenance. Then, rather than do a job that didnt require that part, or borrow an identical part from another machine, he waited, doing nothing.

NOTE 2: Another malfunction. Also sitting and waiting. Am beginning to suspect something rather like Munchhausen-By-Proxy Syndrome.

NOTE 3: Repeatedly finishes a small part of his order, then sits down and carefully counts it, which would be (and probably is) unnecessary if one does the job correctly.
