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.
