Bonus question, do you have a favorite work resteoom that's out of the way and less likely to be disturbed?

I think my record is about 15 minutes and my favorite restroom is located on an unoccupied floor. Currently there scrolling lemmy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I work in OT for a somewhat big company.

During the high season months, our job is to be "on call" during our shift. It means that during your 8 hours, the maintenance guys of the factory can call you for whatever problem happens (mostly with PLCs but also with industrial computers that have a SCADA system) and my job is to solve the issue, as fast as possible.

This means that some days, I won't even see my office in all the shift because I'm running here and there with my laptop solving issues... But somedays I'll spend the whole 8 hours chilling in my office watching anime, learning some language, or even playing videogames.

My boss knows about this, he even enters the office sometimes and catches us chilling, but his mindset with us is (and this is a quote of him): I hate when I enter your office and see you fucking around, but I actually don't, because, if you're here fucking around, it means you did a good job because the factory is running.

TL;DR: 8 hours, but not in a restroom, in my office.

Good boss mindset. In fast food service as long as my boss sees the orders going through cleanly they don't really care how much you fuck around, cause it's already hard to catch a break so any time where you can breathe it's usually deserved.
