NOTE 1: First puts work on his table.

NOTE 2: Gets up due to help request from St.

NOTE 3: This is the second piece done so far.

NOTE 4: Count now 7 pieces

NOTE 5: For someone who doesnt do a lot of work, he sure spends a lot of time looking at the orders.

NOTE 6: Finished with first job. Item count, around 10 pieces or so, in a mere 3 hours on the clock. For reference, the preceding Friday, I did 105 identical pieces in a day in addition to at least one other order with multiple pieces. For identification purposes, these were "snowflakes".

NOTE 7: From now until 2:35, J will be "working" on a legitimate order, one which takes a lot of machine time to do and requires almost no supervision. I usually do these jobs while taking lunch. J actually stopped the job while he went to lunch. While the job was working on the machine, J spent the entire time sitting, playing with his phone, and wandering off occasionally.
The job consisted of 2 items with 50 pieces each. J did the job in three parts:
Part one, item one: 10:40-11:00, then paused for lunch, then resumed from 12:03-12:55
Part two, (I think) item two: 1:08-1:43
Part three, item two: 1:57-2:35

NOTE 8: All copies of the second piece were thrown away immediately after being finished, with J saying that the pieces were "no good". That he threw them away just after he finished them with no input from any sales or management tells me that he knew that the pieces were no good even as he was cutting them. A customer service rep responsible for the order had been by around 2:15 and had probably rejected them at that time, making the next twenty minutes of work (and sitting around) pointless wastes of time, money and material.

NOTE 9: A variation on the Daily Maintenance Call. This time he called a customer service rep, then sat and waited for someone to help him. Normally not a big deal, but it seems to be a pattern with him which is why I mention it.

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.
