Uh… just looking for my contact lens.

Ready to sprint.

Who brought their dog in the building ?

Working 9 to 4:50, what a way to make a livin’,

Barely gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’, …

He’s a 5 o’clock kamikazi

Escape portal 3 now opening…

You have to go out, boy?

Reminds me of when I worked for Abbott. There were some employees who had to clock in that would wait with a newspaper to clock in. Once clocked in, they went into the bathroom to read for a while.

On your mark, get set………

And twelve minutes from now you don’t want to be walking through the parking lot.

He is wanting to get out of the parking lot first.

Enjoyed that timing a lot when I worked as an ad rep. Calling on or to customers for 7+ hours/day was a soul killer. But it all fell away when the ‘bell’ rang. Wasn’t a real bell but the thought was good enough.

My last two jobs were hourly – by choice. I wanted the freedom to have unpaid time off. My boss is cool with this. He doesn’t care how many hours I work or don’t work as long as I get the job done.

I automate office procedures. My boss gives me a requirement and I give him an estimate like, “I think I can get that done by next Thursday.” The time in between is very flexible.

I do excellent work (after 25 years working with Excel, one tends to get good at it) so my boss is willing to put up with the wait.

It’s nice being semi-retired.

Thanks for your life story. Clock watching sprinter getting out of the “salt mines”

This proves there’s life after 5:00!

I know that feeling. I’m like that at 7:55 am

If you don’t believe in life after death,just wait until quitting time.

Getting a head start………

He actually enjoys his work, but nothing compares to that exhilarating sprint home!

Don’t have that problem if you work from home.

He’s working out a cramp.

I worked for a very poorly managed, small R&D company in Rosemead, CA. On Friday, when the paychecks were handed out, it was a “Le Mans Start” to race to the parking lot and drive to the bank before the money ran out.

I wish I were kidding.

That’s just like me five minutes before I am off! Standing at the door just waiting to get out of there! LOL!

And he’s been there since noon.

Getting rid of time clocks means you trust your employees

“Is it? I really hadn’t noticed.”
