slacking at work

I can't imagine anyone being a bigger slacker than me.

I'm reaching sociopathic slacking levels here.

I've never had a stong work ethic to begin with - a
philosphy i picked up for my professional slacker father.
He's been a stoner bum sice the 70's and always managed to
get by. The best thing he did was print up cards saying he
was a sexual theraoist and through word-of-mouth managed to
get about 5 regular clients a mionth to sit on his couch and
talk shite.

If you can put it off till tomorrow then fire away. I've
always found people who get satisfaction from long hours and
hard work a bit bizarre. I get that kind of buzz from
entertainment, excersise, sex... not from making by boss
happy.

I'm an expert at this and have developed an uncanny knack
for getting away with absolute murder in every job i do. I
seem to be able to shroud myself in a kind of invisible
cloak that makes me more or less hidden from the eyes of
managment.

Right now i'm doing webby stuff. Not something i've trained
in much but am just crusing along picking things up. Anyway,
i've literally spent all week on the web - watching
trailers, d/ling music, writing emails etc etc. I've found
simple ways of out of putting in any sort of effort at all
with this job and its almost embarrasing when i hit
lunchtime and my colleagues are talking shop and i have
nothing to add- having done abolsutely nothing at all myself
all morning.

My last job was database programming and i spent 2 years
doing sweet F.A. I didn;t leanr much from it and i don;t
think i left an impritn at all of myself there. i'm
pathologically uninterested in getting on well in work..
simple as that.

Anyone the same?

heh.. meet your maker!

I'm at work now, and I have been for the past year, whenever
I've been on XLT.

since december last year, I've done next to nothing... I may
have mailed a letter once or twice..

my office is not really near anyone who cares to know if I'm
at work or not, so I always come two hours late and leave
one hour early.

I've made a "bed" of two chairs, which I lie down in while
surfing.

this week, there was a film-festival, so I've been to a
bunch of films during hours.

Has your slacker attitude toward work leaked into other
areas of your life?

au contrere.

my slacker attitdue to work has caused other areas of my
life to be more fullfilling. While the drones are working
unpaid overtime, i'm out there with friends doing what i
really want to do. I enrich their lives too by living mine
to the fullest and telling em all about it.... while they
argue over the best traffic route to work..

Play hard, work the minimum amount.

if the two meet... then thats great, but i ain't got there
yet - working on it (ironically enough!)

I hear ya, man. I can't see why people want to work so hard,
even considering the money. I value time much more... that
slacking, that laziness, that procrastination, that's
priceless. Give me that over a plasma TV or a Ferrari. Just
not very useful. I haven't worked in 6 months, though
there's a lot of things I want to buy... I'm just having too
much fun lazing about.

I just want an easy job I can get by on, I refuse to spend
my short alloted time working hard. Please God send a job my
way that will allow me to surf the web all day. I'm not
ambitious. Yours sounds very nice.

I'm working 6 days next week. The machines at the car park
where i work regularly swallow money, which i can then
"retrieve", completely untraceably. So basically my job
involves dealing with abusive customers, reading newspapers,
and petty theft.

Hurray!

I take it you guys have no internet monitoring at work?

I'm a slacker by nature, but I feel much better about myself
when I actually accomplish something.

So I slack while I work.
