JALB


For those who are wondering what the title is all about...it is an expansion of the term Just Another Lazy Bum...too lazy to type it in full.(i dont want any smartass to ask me now, if i am lazy why type this entire post out. My Dragon speech-to-text software aint working..so ppphhhbbttt!!! )all through my life i have been called that..in fact i think i am proud to be called that...do you know just how much hard work it is to remain lazy??? Do you know how many times or how many people i have to keep convincing and win over to remain lazy?? let me list atleast three down

Starting the day itself is such an ordeal...the momentous decision of whether to brush your teeth...does it stink??? then deciding that i am a lion..and then i realize that you dont see lions with toothbrush and toothpaste standing at the watering hole with froth on their mouth.(convincing your mom that you had brushed before getting breakfast is another issue though..my advice..dont blow...suck your breath in). That is the first conviction for the day

Now comes breakfast...the next big convincing act...getting breakfast in bed is considered a luxury...for me it is a damn necessity.. at least the way i tell my mom..the reasoning i give her is pretty simple...my ass cant take it...you see, the way i say it is my ass is too fragile(some say non-existent) for me to sit at the hard dining table and i need cushioning...presto!! my bed...though my mom did try placing pillows on the chairs for me...a couple of well - placed accidents with the dishes and that was the end of that..

The third convincing act i need to do is probably the toughest...convincing myself to go to office....you ask how come this has anything to do with laziness or lazing around...Isnt work supposed to be ...well, WORK...the way i see it is this way...if i dont convince myself to come to office and do my work, then it means that i will very soon be out of a job....if i am out of a job, then i will be shamed into or economically driven to the point of looking out for another job...that means i have to get my resume ready...send it out to companies...then do telephonic interviews, direct face to face interviews, salary negotiation, perks negotiation, submission of documents, planning the change in route, making new friends at the new office( errr ...girlfriends), kissing up to the new boss, new appraisal, new targets....whew...so much work...so its better to work now rather than work later...get it...so my third convincing act is perhaps the most important of them all....now if only i could convince my management that i am in fact working, it would be perfect...

Until next time..lazily yours.
