Actually having to work
I'll freely admit that 90% of my time at work is spent surfing the the web... with 10% spent on fixing designs and generally making people feel relieved... thus earning my crust.

It just so happens though that I have major misgivings about that way this place is run, I mean... there are some idle gits here who only work 10% of the time.

So.. I look for jobs elsewhere. I read the job descriptions, and it sounds as though I'll have to work all of the time. ... No dice.

I'm stuck here. Not working, disgruntled and bored.

A downward spiral and a never-ending vicious circle of chronic lazyness.

That not a phobia.....
...that's real life. I'm pretty much in exactly the same position as yourself. I work in an office fixing computers about 20-30% of the time and somehow earning some decent bonuses too, while spending the other time either browsing on B3ta or jobcentreplus.

Fair play...
but lets be honest.. how many of the posts here are about truly irrational fears?

Jobcenterplus you say? ... I'll go look.

oh yes....
www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk , not a bad site :)

I like to maximise the webpage as a manager wanlks past, just to piss them off :)

Maximising it: pure genius
... On April 1st I told my boss that the night before I'd promised to work as a gardener for a mate... and even though I was drunk when I promised I'd decided to honour the promise.. and therefore had to quit my job as their trouble-shooting Mechanical Designer...

The look on his face was priceless... and I let him suffer for a few minutes: The look on his face was so cute when I told him I was kidding... the poor fella had been bricking it.

I think
we're all in the same boat with that one, although I've just got myself a new job starting in a month,
but I now have a whole month with nothing to do in this job. seriously, there actually isn't anything to do!

so, I look for cars, browse the net etc.

actually have to do some work soon, that will be a shock
