gundark, if you worked 8 hours a day, you'd be all stressed out, and then you wouldn't be able to do a good job. It's better to slack and take care of your mental health!IP: Logged |

I'm not sure if this is a technique, but I surf the web during my break and my bosses actually think I work through my break. It's pretty funny really. People keep telling me to stop working. Not a problem. IP: Logged |

I know what you mean. Today has been Hacienda Slackfest 1999 and I have just blown through my inbox and been really productive.My God! Have we harnessed the power of the Slack to do *gasp* WORK? The Slack is my ally, and a powerful ally it is... IP: Logged |

Thanks for the replies gundark and Hacienda51. I won't work hard and I won't really do any training and do my least to be the most average slacker I could be. IP: Logged |

DarthMoose17 -- When I first found this site, I'd spend my lunch break surfing around it. I'd run out for something to eat and bringing it back to my desk. Everyone thought I was a work-a-holic too.Now, though, I am wizened, and take advantage of BOTH lunch AND the forum. Life is good. IP: Logged |

Wow. I'm gone for a short while and we add two pages of slack. Good work...er...I mean good slacking guys.I've been slacking over in the PSA but the newbies there don't like me because I refuse to agree with their negative theories. I love TPM and all the newbies in the world could never change my mind. I stayed up late last night watching The Bridge Over the River Kwia and it was awesome. I was up late because it is so long so I came into work late today and no one noticed. Yaaayyy me! Slack on. IP: Logged |

Welcome new slacker Darth Moose! Sand farmer, I love that movie! Well, on Monday I got more done then anyone else at work, yet had an incredibly slackfull day! I feel that I and others here have learned to harnass the slack so well that we become luminous beings in it, and everything else falls into place. Do you think slacking could be a religion?

Obi Two, don't tell me you'll have to find a new place to work so you can slack! You won't lose your job, they'll have another place for you, right? Man, cause that company of yours sounded awesome! Well, I'm at home and slacking from doing everything I should be doing, this is the life! Sincerely, Your IP: Logged |

Hi Jedi by Night and Dapper Bloke !!Well, I'm happy not to be the first one here ! How are things in your respective (or not) countries ? Here, it's gray, but warm. (That was your Paris weather info for the day.) Well, I don't know what happened, but in less than twenty-four hours in the P : SA forum, I succeeded to get in a fight with both Shimmergloom and Archivist... Now, I really do hope Shimmergloom and Creepio are NOT the same person, or I'm in deep deep trouble... Slack on ! IP: Logged |
