Paid Slacking = Much Fun
Sunday, September 02, 2007Slacking is a great way of life, I highly encourage anyone to slack whenever possible. it definitely makes life more fun. The best slacking, however, is the PAID kind. Not only can you go have fun, but you can do it on the clock.
Friday we had a division picnic. They had a really nice spread of food on the patio outside our building. To make things better they had games. They had a ping pong table set up, a volleyball net up and they also had the little game with golf balls on a string and three crossbars to try and get them on. Two hours of hanging out outside on a GORGEOUS day, all while getting paid. Definitely a good end to that work week.
Tonight, working the second job at the State Fair, we decided that since we've been finishing early, we could extend our normal 15 minute break a litte. So, when break time came, we hit the Midway. We walked around, scoped out the rides and played a few games. I played three of those squirt gun games and won one. I got a really snuggly bear which I gave to Johnny V, a guy who was at one time a friend and roommate, has a two year old and is the supervisor of the night crew. I also managed to win the one time I played the game with the big gun that shoots out balls and you have to knock down six targets. For that I got a new friend named Buddy!
He's an adorable huge headed "Snubbies" Dalmatian. Much fun. And, again, the whole time we were on the clock. And just so you don't think we were slacking TOO much, even with the extra 45 minutes for break, we only finished 15 minute later than we did the previous night.
Ok, well, time for me to go hang out with buddy and Puerto Rican Paulie since he's up from the PR on vacation.
Lata!

Apparently you have some skill with a squirt gun. I am impressed. I can never win at that thing. I always get one ball less than I need to get the prize.
Oh, yeah...so it appears I am over that whole "being married means you can't be extremely pissed off at everyone in the world except your wife" phase.
I'm back, bitch! I need to catch up on everything. Has idiot boss finally been put in his place? Have you found a job that does not involve idiot boss? I have missed the Head Slacker. -
