Me: *staring at computer screen, not looking busy*

Boss: Why are you not working?

Me: I am, I'm just waiting for this thing to finish installing.

Boss: You do realize you can still do other stuff while that's running, right?

Me: Didn't you send me an article last week about the dangers of multitasking?

Boss: um...

Me: *now intently staring at progress bar..."

Boss: fuck sakes... *walks away*

    If it's a relatively quick install I might wait, or go smoke, but for longer running installs I have plenty of other work to do.

    I probably would have said you are delegating tasks to the computer. It's designed for multitasking. You however need to do only one thing at a time and guess what waiting is not the thing to do it you want to keep the job.

    Basically you had a little luck and nice execution by the way

    @ArcaneEye sure I was not talking about firing anyone but you can ream someone for watching an installer for 20 minutes

    @pmso well that sounds like a lot of manual checking. They must have some really flaky installers or complex environment without configuration management
