NOTE 1: J has been working this morning, but he seems to have been doing an awful lot of paperwork. While sitting.

NOTE 2: It's not a long absence, but his car moved.

NOTE 3: At this point, apparently not satisfied with the ability to sit around while the machine ran uninterrupted for 15 minutes, J slowed the speed down by about half, putting it at a speed of about 28 minutes a cycle, which is weird, since he technically had only 20 minutes left in his shift. Not that he would leave when he was supposed to.

* I generally only note malingering when the machine is not running, but here I am denotinging this "acceptable" malingering by asterisks thusly - * 8:33-8:34 ; sitting *, versus the un-asterisked 8:33-8:34.

Here's another of my clock graphs 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. It should also be noted that today's graph looks a lot better than yesterday's.


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