I don't understand this concept? How much time I need to allocate for actual work and taking a dump?

I feel lost and confused at the same time. Given as an "intern" I don't have much work to begin with....Can't I just play around for now and do some work later? Sad Very Happy

didnt you say that you'd get some test project to do before you start messing with their projects ? Smile

working at home fucking sucks.
I used to do freelancing and intern shit like you and I was going fucking crazy.
even know when i think about it it's making me sick, dunno why.

maybe because at work it's 90% work of 8 hours and 10% of facebook and reddit.
while at home it's 90% tv shows facebook and reddit and 10% of work.
a loooot of discipline needed.

Some valuable advice: Put work always first. Otherwise you'll just stall and have to deal with stress due to limited time

I already did that project. It was so simple. They provided me half of the code and rest was almost fill in. Laughing Laughing. I can say that it took me more time to generate getter/setters for the whole thing. Laughing Laughing
I was suppose to fix a bug but that turns out the option is working fine.

They want me to change something on the website but waiting for instructions on what to change..ehh

so you're asking us to help you manage time.. while you have nothing to do yet ? Smile

if you lack discipline you need to put a clock in front of yourself to work full 6-8 hours, turn off your phone, tell anyone in your house that you don't exist, put a website blocker on your browser and block all the pages you frequently use like nfohump for the time being.

if you have a girlfriend you're fucked, they seem not to understand the concept of working at home Smile

just out of curiosity: is it a free internship ? You've learned Java and you're saying that you'll have to change something on their website, is it Java too ?

When you're at work it's easier to pretend you're doing important stuff. As in working home you actually need to accomplish something so you have something to show for it. Cool Face

1.Invite your neighbour round and insist they talk to you about what they saw on TV last night, and how their husband/wife/cat/dog hamster piss them off and other general bollocks all day whilst you are trying to get some work done.

2.Ask random people you have never heard of to call you and insist they have been told by some other random person, that you are the man to talk to about getting some random crap you have never heard of or indeed have anything to do with, done.

3.Ask other random people to shove work in your face and demand it gets done right now, this is regardless of all the other work you have to do which of course all needs doing this minute.

4.Don't take any breaks all day then wonder why you are fucking knackered when you go home (or in your case go out of the door and come back in)

Any or all of the above are sure to make you feel as if you are in a work environment.

I worked from home for three years, it sucked big time.

The work stretches for the entire day because it's easy to digress, and after it's finally done, I can't actually do anything fun on computer (movies, games etc) because, hell, I'm still sitting at my workplace.

Don't work from home, mkay.

This kinda sucks. Since the website is already built and all I get to do is to try and fix some bug fixes but like I have no idea where everything is. I had to fix search but it took me more time to actually find where it's located at. (the actual java file)

Right now they asked me to add something under videos but it's nothing but a nightmare because whatever I try to do, shit breaks. Sad Crying or Very sad Sad Crying or Very sad
