2 random work thoughts
1. I have to microwave my lunch in another office that has 3 cubicles. Whenever I go in there, they are always working and no one even has the internet open and minimized. HOW IS THAT!? I am on the internet every other minute I think,
2. My old coworker use to take fooooooooooooorever to do things like reply to emails, which drove me crazy. Now that I ve taken her place, I always reply to emails as soon as I get them, or at least within the day - why not? I almost always get a response that's like "Wow!! Thanks so much for your quick response." (These are new people I'm communicating with - so it's not like they were just used to my old coworker's slowness) Today I realized I had forgotten to send something to someone 3 days ago. When I sent it just now, I got the same shocked response. Am I abnormal to be replying to emails within the week that I get them??
Re: 2 random work thoughts
1. I ALWAYS have the internet open at work. 9 hours/day, 5 days/week.
2. I reply to emails ASAP, almost always same day if I can. I hate when they pile up.
1. I had this conversation with a co-worker this morning because he told me he never went on fb during work. Really? Never? I mean the system was down for nearly an hour this morning - what did you do?
2. We are expected to respond in 24 hours even if it is to say you are researching and need an extra day.
1. My email is up constantly, otherwise I'd be online checking it every 10 minutes. I'm ocd like that. Lately I've had this page open, too, but not all day.
2. I always reply to emails asap, either immediately or as soon as I accomplish what it asked of me. Otherwise, I'd never respond.

1. for 1 day my internet was broken, I seriously contemplated calling sick the next day if it wasnt fixed because I about went out of my mind that day. I dont know how anyone could go a whole day without getting distracted/procrastinating on the internet.
2. I always try to respond asap or I forget and it gets buried. I frequently get surprised responses on how fast I respond. But I get annoyed when it takes someone 3 days to answer so I try to be quick. I also think I'm being rude as people who know me, know that I'm at my desk 90% of my day and have a phone that I can always get my email on so I try to be quick. My boss however, calls me if I dont respond in 5 minutes, fearing I didnt get the message. He seems to think I need to acknowledge every email even if there is no question. Dumb.
