Getting paid to eat large meals and drink GuinnessA few years ago, I was doing some IT work for a large (government owned at the time) company in Dublin. I'd got the set-up pretty much done on the first day, so the rest of the week was spent baby-sitting the system in case it fell over.
I ended up shadowing the site manager's daily routine, and so for a week or so was paid for the best job I've ever done to date. A typical day was:
9am - Turn up for work
10am - Go to the cafe across the road for a full cooked breakfast
11:30am - Back to site to let breakfast settle
12pm - Pub lunch (including 2 or 3 pints of Guinness)
2:30-3pm - Dawdle back to site and kill a couple of hours. Maybe even sleep off the Guinness in a quiet corner.
5pm - Go home (or back to my hotel, in my case.)
Perhaps not the absolute easiest job ever. There was some walking involved, to and from the cafe and pub.
