When you're at work, do you ever daydream about the thousand other places you could be instead?

Boss: "RANDOLPH!  Get away from that window and get back to work! IMMEDIATELY!"

  • Yes, always.  And today I left two hours early and I'm taking a PTO staycation from Monday til Saturday.

    For the last few decades I mainly had jobs in sales and those sales were on the phone.   I would spend literally all day to find 2 to maybe 6 people a day that would buy something I was selling.   Some jobs were more sales per day.   But, the point is, I had to stay on the phone to make money.  So, to keep sane, I would bring in all my paints and chalks and pens, etc. and I would paint a picture while I was working.  In order for them to put up with me, I had to sell more than anyone else or they would never let me do this nonsense.  It breaks every rule imaginable, but who is going to argue with me when I tell them it is why I am able to sit for so long and sell so much. 

    So, I paint my dreams and it made work not only bearable, but I would look forward to going.  And people at work would ask me for drawings.  Everyone was hurting for dough, so I would give them away just so they would not complain and let me keep doing it. 

    Did I even answer the question?

    Once in a while, maybe. Usually too busy actually working, though.

    No, I am retired. Sometimes I daydream about being at work. (Not really).

  • Sometimes, but not often.  Much of the time it's doing something that  daydreaming could get someone hurt or possibly killed.
