It’s not even three hours in to a nine hour work day and I have nothing to do. I don’t know how to deal with this.

I don’t want this to be a ranting post as I really am unsure how to deal with this.

I work at a place that screen prints t-shirts for local businesses and such. My job is to prepare the screens for the print operators to use. I only had two jobs on the agenda for today, but they were huge orders so everyone else will be busy but myself it seems.

I’ve cleaned everything I’ve known to clean. I’ve organized my materials as best as they can be organized. I have asked everyone I know here if hey need help with anything and they all said no. I’ve been desperately looking around here and there for something that needs rearranging or some box I can move somewhere, and there’s just nothing.

I decided to just ask my manager herself. I just told her I have finished all I know to do and was wondering what she would have me do next. Well, a weird look on her face started to grow and she said “well I hate for you to leave and you miss out on your pay”. I don’t know how she thought I was asking to leave, but I ensured her I wasn’t and was just wondering what the next most productive thing to do was. She said “oh good haha.” She wound up sending me to another building we have to help out some people there.

When I got there the only guy working there asked me (pretty angrily) “how come you got nothin’ to do!? I always have something to do!” I just told him that’s why I’m there and he stormed out of the building.

So I have no idea what just happened. I have no idea what people expect me to do here. They tell me I don’t do anything but can’t offer suggestions. I don’t want to feel like I’m just soaking in a pay check but that’s basically my only option at times.

Am I missing something? Do I need to sit down and talk with my manager about this?
