I want to note here that J had every intention of "working" on my machine after I left the building, which is a blatant case of clock-riding on his part. I'm personally offended by the knowledge that a guy who doesnt work for even half the time for which he's paid will be making overtime, with (I'm sure) no more productivity than any other time he's on the clock. Effectively, he probably makes twice to five times what I make, if you base that number on hours that he is actually doing work of some sort. It's higher if you base it on productivity.


NOTE 1: Maintenance showed up almost immediately, I suspect surprising J. I really think he makes these calls at lunch time knowing that no one will respond, but this time someone did, and he was soon "back" to work.


NOTE 2: The only reason he got up (and this is often true) is because St asked for help lifting a heavy object, a fairly frequent occurrence lately.

I made clocks showing J's goofing off, sort of like a pie graph in it's ability to make clear how much goes where. It should be noted that the white "working" spaces do not necessarily indicate work being done, just that no obviously not-working was being done.

If the terms used seem confusing, you might read this.
