text: is this enough to get me fired? so i started a new job 3 days ago.  on the first day i filled out papers for like 3 hours and didn't do much.  today i was filling in my hours and wanted to know what number to use for general office.  however when i asked my boss i said "what is the code for not doing anything?"  the office erupted in laughter and he gave me the number.  do you think i will be terminated tomorrow? how big's your workload?  if you're clearing your desk every morning and twiddling your fingers all afternoon, don't worry about it.  i used to have a job in which i could do any reading assignments for my college classes in between phone calls.  it was that slow.  and how's your work environment?  in many work places, they won't fire you for making a little joke as long as it's not filthy.  i kid around with my boss all the time.
