I know that pose. That's the "boss gave me some insane task of information that I dont have and I need a solution by Monday" thinking pose.

Compiling

It's a thinking technique, all the top executives do it. It keeps the brain moving and, "a spinning brain is a working brain."

If you don't do this when you can, I don't want to know you

I know that spin.... Someone's compiling c++

I love my job, I do this whenever I wait for a reboot, a windows update and a hefty program to install.

Is it bad I waiting for a pan down to see two people fucking in the window below?

The spinning action pushes old ideas to the back of the head to make space for new ones to enter through the eye holes, Standard practice.

The person spinning in their chair

Yes he is. He works as a chair warmer. I'd say he is very busy

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Maybe he lost a lot of money, and is spinning in hopes an idea would form

As a video editor; yes.

Such is the life of a sysadmin when waiting for an update to finish rolling out.

Went to p2v a machine, shutdown, installing updates 1/19 started at 10:00am, finished updating at 7:40AM the next day. It's much happier now

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Honestly, if your job is 90% waiting for code to compile or updates to roll out, then you need to find work you can do while waiting.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

For sysadmin, your job is also about fixing things when it fails, free time because things work right is a bonus and isn’t consistent

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That's probably why software as a service works. Because each company having an admin that's only 30% utilized is wasteful.

Just trying to clear the stress cause you know that there's a chance it will crash and you have a shit ton of work and anguish ahead.

Looking idle is not the same as being idle. Maybe he's thinking

Sometimes my job requires me to take time to just think and nothing else, usually I’m so busy so I look so lazy when I have to do this

I've got a whole day at work next sunday. But I'll only be actually working for about an hour total. The rest will be waiting.

Or waiting for a stress induced headache to subside.

And looking busy isn't the same as being busy. Source, experience being lazy looking busy.

Not really, he’s going in an incredibly predictable pattern at a constant rate, makes for an easy shot.

You know damn well he'll change the pattern the instant the shot is fired.
