Note: At this point J has chosen to do a job that has a lot of small items that take a lot of machine time, time in which J can talk and phone and wander and what have you but the machine is still running, and so I dont record those moments. Still, when the machine stops, the pencil comes out.

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.

* J had worked steadily on part 3, indicating a time of 24 minutes per part, or roughly 30 minutes each. He has had time to do at least 5 parts since I noted his arrival. To be fair, the machine I operate goes twice as fast as J's, so he should have only finished half the amount of work that I did. He managed maybe a quarter.
