Lazy.

I don't know how many of you are aware of this, but I thought I'd just talk a little about my job. Particularly, the severe ease with which I do my job. Now, this isn't me bragging about my superb ability to do my job, it's purely the fact that my job is so frickin easy.

My average day consists of this:
8:30 - 10:00: Check emails, chat to colleagues, get coffee, read news online.
10:00 - 12:00: Read work emails, spend roughly 15 minutes calling clients, analyse possibility of hitting targets.
12:00 - 13:00: Lunch.
13:00 - 15:00: Email friends, discuss evening plans with colleagues, Facebook, Blog.
15:00: Start packing up and thinking about going home, before finally sneaking out of the door.

You see, it's the lamest attempt at a working day I've ever heard of. My question is, am I now destined to stay in this job for the rest of all time, purely because I've become so lazy that this is how I expect a working day to go? Or will my laziness eventually bite me on the arse and find me out of a job altogether?

I've been discussing this with colleagues (between the hours of 8:30 and 10:00) and they run their working day on a similar schedule. So, it's not just me. But who started it? Is this laziness contagious, and have I inadvertently infected my colleagues with this affliction? Technically, the person who's been here the longest (Roy) probably infected the rest of us with his laziness. Can I blame him?

Fuck it - let's blame Roy for our laziness. In fact, let's blame him for ALL the laziness we encounter collectively around the world.
