Sitting about is soul destroying in my opinion.

Most work is soul-destroying. Noticed when I'm doing less hours that I spend less, drink less, buy less tat and generally my outgoings decrease substantially.

Spending an entire week in a job you tolerate with little reward means that you're far more likely to require the rewards of booze, drugs, and those occassional acquisitions that make it bearable.

Personally, I don't think that sitting around doing nothing is ever actually doing nothing. People need time to reflect and relax and consider - never having the chance to do this is far more destructive to one's self I think.

I know people that are quite close to mentally ill from overwork, who then spend the entire weekend off their tits trying to enjoy the precious little free time they have and never actually taking time to rest. Sleep's very under-rated as a good thing in this society.

I'm quite interested in how we manage to have so much technology to reduce the amount of work yet we still have more and more pointless occupations to keep everyone from having more time to themselves.

Interestingly, when there were the three day weeks in the 70's, the actual manufacturing output stayed relatively level with when people were doing five days, and overtime now is said to reduce productivity in many regards as people are too tired to function correctly when they're doing their allotted hours.

There are a lot of pointless folks in middle-management who are only too happy to come up with more time and money wasteful ideas to justify their worthless position - when it fucks up they generally seem to get promoted or moved to another department. Any ideas I can remember having to improve workflow or reduce bureacracy have generally been disregarded, as it would point out that the person that came up with the initial idea was wrong, and management seems to have a great level of intellectual insecurity in admitting a mistake. Seems to be the same in most companies from the folks I've chatted to.

I calculated that if they took up my idea, it would save approximately 3 months worth of work a year. If we worked more towards work reduction rather than a "he who dies with the most toys wins" attitude, society as a whole would be far better off.

I have done it for 7 years, and there have been people the whole time telling me that I cannot or should not do certain things. Those things are the things that I focus on and have become successful as a result.

There is a way to exist in babylon and use it to your own advantage. At the end of the day, my struggling with it and manipulating it ends up resulting in good things for 6,000 kids.

During weekends though, I am officially a destroyer of my hubby's life cause i tend to go wherever he goes. Then I tend to criticize who he spends his time with. So there I am also a critic. Then I ofenttimes become his ultimate warrior too. Cause I also put up a fight with him. When I say fight, I actually mean physical fight ok.

So you see I can be anybody and I am quite a pro in doing this things.
