You all know who you are.
What’s up with guys today?! I when I was a young man we wanted sex. With females, I might add. We never got it, but that’s a different matter.
I have a dream job. My boss gives me 99% freedom. My office has a better view than my CEO’s. I spend, on average, 7 out of 8 hours doing my own thing. There is no stress. No worries. My salary covers everything I need. I am the king of slackers! 😉
Thank you, God.
I could do nothing all day and never have to worry about being fired.
Thank God for the Union… and I don’t even pay their silly dues.

David …. do you need an assistant? I work cheap and take up very little space 🙂
I think every day is National Goof-off day to too many employees. I declaring it on a specific day helps any of it.
As befits a senior executive I plan my goofing off; lotsa papers on the desk, a very serious something on the computer monitor, and hell, I gotta go, the boss just came in…
dude, people play games, it’s human nature to do so, and what make a video game any different from play parchesi or gin rummy? who says you have to outgrow something that engages your mind more than television or music or the web?
Bill, I only hire young girls with big tits.
