    It's another day of billing for b*gger all work

      Yup, no work from me today either, in the daily meetings when it comes to allocating me new tasks I just confuse them by asking them questions they can't answer, they always end it with "i'll get back to you on that" then I just get up and walk away.

      Anyone with half a brain would see that I ain't done any work for about a month and I don't know how this trick has worked for so long.

        Anyone know the polite verbiage for drinking, smoking, screwing and doing as little work as possible?

        I'm not sure how to express these my personal passions without upsetting the client

        What are your Passions in Work and Life?
        You have to be positive. Your aim is to maximise your profit. Yet you must maintain your integrity. As your interests and passions are so close to my own, here is what I did for a similar task.

        'In human life there are two types, those that live on the edge, those that follow a cautious path. Your business needs both.
        The extremists come in two varieties, those that live life to the max and those that would like the life of the monestary. Your business needs both.
        Of those that live life to the max, most are not sex-addicts, alcoholics or game-geeks, thankfully. But I am, and your business need both.'


        I just made that up. I never really did that

          You could say you worship at the church of debauchery, and kneel at the altar of apathy. Or just claim to be a libertine.

          Either should result in an uncomfortable silence.

              Excellent EO - I hope my prayers speeded your recovery ?

              PS to the orginal poster I think the answers they are seeking are along the lines of 'Form Filling/Design and Advanced Modular Computer Programming.'

              Perfect.
