Date: 2020-08-25 03:44 am (UTC)The company left us that time, as long as we stayed in the lab (apart from smoke breaks, for people who somehow could not quit smoking while working in a plant covered with a thin film of proto-dynamite). With the proviso that if senior plant people were likely to walk through --- so, normal office hours --- you should try and not be obviously wasting time.
My stations even had this nice little side room that maybe once upon a time had some use, but now were just a great spot to deposit my hard hat, not needed in the quality control laboratory, and my book, and discover that the rigging of the hat was surprisingly good as a way to hold a hardcover open and hold the pages still, somehow.
Anyway the two-month stretch where I bounced between second and last shift was maybe the most efficient books-per-day reading time of my life.
