Time Off
Trained professional. Do not attempt.
I guess I’m like most people. Or rather, most people are like me. However you look at it, we all enjoy time off work, don’t we?…
Whether or not you enjoy that time off greatly depends on the reason for it. At least, that’s what I’ve learned over the last little while – off work.
The good reasons, like paid annual leave and statutory holidays, are cool because you know how long they’re going to last. That might not seem like a good thing, but when you’re waiting on other people to tell you when your “holidays” will be over, it definitely is.
To add insult to injury, sometimes the folks who hold the key to your return to work have little or no understanding of how important a person’s job is to their sense of self worth. I haven’t been away from my job nearly long enough to be suffering from that fallout, but I have been in the past.
So, I guess I’ll just pretend to enjoy it.
Yep… the same way that slacking off at work is only fun when there’s something you’re slacking off from (like, actual work). If you’re slacking off because you’re not supposed to be doing anything or you don’t have anything to do, it just kind of becomes “time wasted” and the day goes by a lot slower.
Plus, even slacking off has its limits… at some time, there isn’t anything else to surf to slack off with.
I disagree..Slacking off, much like procrastination, is a practiced and perfected art. Once must strive to achieve a level of Zen or Chi with their couch. The desired goal is to have one’s but become one with the couch…Ohhhmmmm.
That makes slacking off sound like work then… which sort of really defeats the purpose of the term “slacking off” in the first place.
