messing about... what a luxury, I regularly sit at my desk desperate to pee, 3-4 hrs later I still haven't had a chance. It's just a matter of time til I wee at my desk!

My screen is quite visible and I was very much thrown into the deep end today so didn't have time for Facebooking/BritExpating/Other Hey ho, I'm sure I will figure out how and when I can doss off but in the meantime I'm a little wet behind the ears and therefore eager to make a good impression. Dossing shall probably commence in a month or so! However saying that, I observed everybody today and nobody seemed to be messing about. It seems quite serious

I don't smoke but probably have around three a day as the other chap in my office goes out every 50 minutes or so and comes back in and breathes in my general direction.

No dossing in my office either, people are amazingly focused compared to the UK. I feel almost (almost) guilty having a look at the news during my lunch.

Doesn't everyone? We have a tea girl as well who brings tea three times a day plus we can visit the toilet whenever we like! Was the main reason I moved out here.

What kind of job do you have that does not allow you to go to the toilet?

I struggle to believe that unless you used to work in a council office. How does the productivity compare with all this focus?

You do not have a million urgent things. You might have half a dozen. If you have many more than this, you or your fellow workers have some time management issues - or you have the wrong fellow workers. Or you have the wrong you.
