Work Break on Client site

[dellyjm]

Hi guys,

What do you do when you're at a client site, being paid hourly and the client runs out of work for you to do?

Read, idle what?

Inform the client about the situation, then ask him what he wants you to do.

If you have to be at the client's site, then you can alwasy do some preventative measures. Check disk space, clean-up temporary files, run some diagnostics (that do not interfere with production processing), etc, etc. Look for some potential problems before any become a crisis. Good Luck

I was at one time a U.S. Army helicopter mechanic. During my tenure in that capacity, someone suggested that I attend the U.S. Army Airborne School. I asked in response, "Why would I want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane?"

To which my sergeant replied, "You're an airplane mechanic....When was the last time you saw a perfectly good airplane?"


CajunCenturion is right. For example, when was the last time you vacuumed the dust-bunnies out of the server? Want the best answers? Ask the best questions:

You could always work on documentation.

Or see if there's some mainentance programming you could do.

Or see if there's some way to improve/streamline some business process(es).

Thanks for the ideas guys, they're all good. The boss somehow found something...something from dust bunny town.

of course there's the one thing that it seems universal that no one likes to do...you could comment your code ;-) "Where's the Ka-Boom? There's supposed to be an Earth-shattering Ka-Boom!"

Comment code?

But that would violate the programmer's credo: If it was hard to create, it should be hard to figure out.
