Not only did I spend the last two days actually working! but tomorrow I will have to be at the work place before nine.  This most disturbing trend calls for some serious identity reinforcement.  I should really be sending this to my boss.  Alas, he might appreciate it considerably less than my previous boss liked a recommendation to call 911 in case of emergency that I put in my v-mail.

Didn't say any of it but could have:

Life is what you do when you can't get to sleep.
The average, healthy, well-adjusted adult gets up at seven-thirty in the morning feeling just plain terrible.
Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
Hard work has a future pay off.  Laziness pays off now.
Work fascinates me.  I can look at it for hours.
I don't even butter my bread; I consider that cooking.
My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
My ambition is handicapped by laziness.
Work is a fine thing if it doesn't take too much of your spare time.
Hard work never killed anybody... but why take chances?
The reward for a job well done is more work.
I work well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat.
One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.
Work is a necessary evil to be avoided.
Never put off to tomorrow what you can avoid doing altogether.
Don't hate yourself in the morning.  Sleep till noon.
Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7 of your life.
On the other hand, the early worm gets eaten.
It was such a lovely day I thought it a pity to get up.
Even if I'm not asleep, that doesn't mean I'm awake.
Buses stop at bus stations, trains at train stations, my desk has a workstation.  (Actually, I use a laptop but still... :)
My worst day of vacation has always been better than my best day at work.
Never do anything that others can do for you.
He lacks much who has no aptitude for idleness.
If it weren’t for the fact that the TV set and the refrigerator are so far apart, some of us wouldn’t get any exercise at all.
I like the word "indolence." It makes my laziness seem classy.
He is not afraid of work, you can tell by the way he fights it.

I thought of arguing that point but I really couldn't be bothered ;-P

Take any criterion: wakening time (mine is typically between 11 am and 1 pm), time spent at workplace (2 hours per week on average for me). Even taking into account that Igor is unemployed most of the time I beat both of you hands down. ;-)) But I definitely admit, we have a great band of laziness champions in our team.

Ты, Костик, в корне не прав. Те критерии, что ты используешь никак не доказывают степень твоей лени. Например, учась в колледже я вообще раньше двух редко когда вставала, пока работать не начала. Ты же, если бы у тебя была обычная работа, приходил бы на нее в положенное время. Лень - это такое внутреннее состояние души и тела. Например, я пользуюсь жидким мылом, потому что обычное мыло требует больше усилий при использовании и после него надо мыть мыльницу. Опять же, я не пользуюсь зубной пастой в тюбиках, ее оттуда надо выдавливать. И т.д. В любой деятельности я выбираю путь при котором я получаю наибольший результат при минимуме усилий.
В общем: All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness.

Но у меня же не случайно такая необычная работа, нес па? ;-))

Good morning :) LJ first thing after waking up? Glad to see you have your priorities straight. I'll admit, your choice of occupation was most fitting :)

Good morning to you as well. :-)) Usually I start the morning with e-mail, but today only spam was in the inbox... So I went directly to LJ.

I also should admit that I see clear signs of old age approaching - lately it became more and more difficult for me to sleep after 10:30 am. ;-))
