I work as a file clerk, strictly just filing, and it gets so boring. I do little by little each day because if I did all the filing in one day i'd probably have nothing to do for the rest of the week.
We're allowed to listen to music/watch movie(which I do on my ipad) but I recently bought coloring books to pass by time. I'd file some then color for 5minutes - an hour or so then file again.
All the ladies in the office don't mind at all.
I actually got a lot of compliments on my filing.
but one day this lady named Dawn(who was one of the ladies who complimented me) who is not my boss, tells my boss i'm coloring. My boss works downstairs in the reception area and she asked me and I said I took a break and plus it helps with my anxiety. She didn't say much but just to go in the break room to do so because of the office director will get mad. But yet the director is always on her phone and is in her own world.
all the ladies upstairs talk, watch movies, etc. I was told when I got hired it was supposed to be lady back.
even Dawn talks for an hour when she gets in and watches movies all day!
Another one of the ladies said its fine to do what i'm doing but if dawn tells my boss again then i don't know what she would say
plus they said they never had someone who was fast at filing and that could keep up. So maybe dawn is used to someone is is constantly staying busy.
what would you do in this situation if you were bored?
