Seems we have a different work ethic. I get paid for my time and expertise and therefore try to do my best.
But I’m not going to end up dead if I’m not employed thanks to the (sort of) free healthcare and a decent social security net my country has. Ending up dead without work and any security net seem to me like good reasons to not be unproductive at work too…
[Jumps up and down. Checks.]
Perhaps I am doing something wrong.

They don’t give me much to do. 95% of the time is waiting for a phone to ring. 4% of the time is fixing a problem for the person on the other end of that phone. 1% of the time I’m given a “project” better suited to a powershell script. I would write the scripts to do the jobs, but usually I don’t have access to infrastructure information and a testing environment necessary to do that. And I can’t seem to get a response when I try to email the relevant people anyway.
The company is best characterized as both wasting my time and its money.

People aren’t machines to be run at full power for the designated time-periods, nor is all employment the kind of work that requires constant attention and effort. We have far too much of that de-humanising and unrealistic attitude in workplace management as it is; if you’re in a job that is like that, you should really stop and look around once in while and appreciate that there are other ways of working that aren’t necessarily of less moral worth than your own.

They’re baristas. The girl with lavender hair is Kafuu Chino. I am not making this up.

The new version seems more… boingy? Or is that just the dungarees?

ボインボイン (boin boin) is onomatopeia referring to breasts specifically, while ボイン (boin) by itself can be used as an adjective to mean “large-breasted.”
I know this because I have read boingboing in Japan and the title of the site has raised more than a few eyebrows among friends and coworkers, to the extent that I don’t send links to the site to Japanese friends without prefixing the URL with “it’s not porn but…”

You’re very welcome!
However, my part in this was just finding it on the Boing Boing main page and posting it here, alongside lewd suggestions.
I thought I recognized it from somewhere! Perhaps not a badge of honor, but still…
I feel like someone agreeing to that particular employment niche would be prepared to generally comply with stricter-than-normal NSFW guidelines.
I’d reckon there are actually very few formal workplaces where it would be pleasant to be perceived as “that person who looks at manga/child-appearing porn at their desk.” I can’t think of a mixed-company situation where i would want this particular image to catch me off guard in my scrolling. Boss’ mores, respect for coworkers who don’t want surprise porn, and concern for professional perception are all at play here. Take your pick, really.
As for " you’re already slacking, porn is just as ‘bad’" well, that seems silly on it’s face. Almost anyone in the office would have a much different reaction to happening upon a viewing of this image as opppsed to the nytimes…
Looks like she’s getting a lot of pleasure from that jack hammer.

Also, there are people who live in places like Singapore (such as myself), where viewing images like that in public is all sorts of illegal, even with the pixellation.
