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.
IrrelativeTheory
Waiting for that code to compile, prolly.
MomofukuJones
Am I the only one who finds this a bit creepy?
AtomicKate
Probably compiling.

Compiling
MantisTobagganMD
It's a thinking technique, all the top executives do it. It keeps the brain moving and, "a spinning brain is a working brain."
pinatafarmer
If you don't do this when you can, I don't want to know you
CtNero
I know that spin.... Someone's compiling c++
MightyIink
I love my job, I do this whenever I wait for a reboot, a windows update and a hefty program to install.

"It's compiling/rendering"
beggingyourmajestyspardon
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
MostIndeedlySo
greekocheecko
Yes he is. He works as a chair warmer. I'd say he is very busy
longtimenolurk
Maybe he lost a lot of money, and is spinning in hopes an idea would form
OGCurious
As a video editor; yes.
porcupineinthewind
That or waiting for renders.
Exactly!
Supaenmi
Yep, half of the time you're waiting for after effects to render the preview
nintyuk
Ahh someone's code is compiling

Isn't that just a loading icon?

Me on a team meeting call.

Monday morning when all the teams are downloading new builds.

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

valen00
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
barnwolf
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.
ThadeusPrinceOfFoxes
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
That's probably why software as a service works. Because each company having an admin that's only 30% utilized is wasteful.
fluortanten
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.
MyronTheDormouse
Looking idle is not the same as being idle. Maybe he's thinking
MikkoAN1
I look like that when on conference calls.
mrcanadiansorry
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

Executive time.

I had this friend who sometimes just stood up, spun around really fast to think of stuff. I haven't thought about that since I was a kid..

spinning in chair = loading icon

“My wireless mouse died, so I had to plug it in and charge it. But because Apple doesn’t know how to properly place a charging port...”

Oh they know, but selling extension chords is much more fun
Superchief86
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.
ILikeAminalsAnFibshAnInsectsAnStuffAnThingsButNotPeople
Or waiting for a stress induced headache to subside.
kgbofficer
And looking busy isn't the same as being busy. Source, experience being lazy looking busy.

Ugh this triggered me haha. Always hated that phrase.
Yeah well they are known to ask their inferiors to look active even when there's nothing to do so it's not a really good example

I like to go take a shit when I'm having trouble figuring something out. Nothing like a good epiphany shit.
"Eureka!" *stands up* "oops, wipe first"
poets
Could be waiting for a reply or for something compile or render.
Beezlebubble
Yep. When I send out invoices I can't do anything or i risk freezing my system and stopping the process.
swellguy18
A site I work on used to take up to 5 minutes to launch when I wanted to test code I wrote. We've got it down to 30-60 seconds now.
How many spins is that?
At least 4 spins.
CanadianEngineer

IT'S COMPILING!
monsterhunter4lyfe
Have some old lenovos at work, usually wait about 5-10 minutes everytime I need to pop open a model on solidworks.
No excuses, find something else to do.

NotWavingDrowning
He's making it hard work for the sniper tho
RagingWaxedYeti
ImHereToPissPeopleOff
Not really, he’s going in an incredibly predictable pattern at a constant rate, makes for an easy shot.
StillNotYouTube
You know damn well he'll change the pattern the instant the shot is fired.
