fumes, office basketball, and the second hand

the office is a funny place. no not the british of american television shows. i mean the place in which you work. i work in at the University Union which means i get paid practically nothing to do absolutely nothing. so therefore i don't take my job very seriously. here is what i have done today in the course of my 8 hour day during winter break. 1. played online video games 2. stared at the clock 3. played a rousing game of office basketball 4. got high off the paint fumes because we are redecorating the back wall. yes folks that's your tax dollars at work. if i could make this into a full time job all the time i would be bored out of my mind every day of which i am right now. and i would have an unbelievably awesome blog and probably get a lot of other work done. but i can't do this because of my chronic ADHD causes me to not accomplish the latter and resort to the clock staring again. so i sat here and i started thinking about the dynamics of our office which is primarily run by college students who i can clasify into a couple categories. 1. the hardworker: you don't see many of them here because honestly why 2. the normal dependable worker: does his/her job and doesn't complain and every now and then does extraordinary things 3: the slacker: doesn't do any work or the very very minimum we have a bunch of those 4. the goofball, nut, wacko, slacker: i.e. most of the guys. people like myself and my friend tyler who get so bored by work spend an hour playing and make up rules to an endless system of basketball. we aren't alone in this fashion because this happens all over the country. i just love the fact that i can get away with anything i want at work and still get paid for it. damn if i am not the laziest man on the planet but i still get paid to sit here, write in my blog, and ridcule/rant all i want. this is what we are fighting for. the freedom to do absolutely jackshit. god bless america.
