Sloth is a Sin

Being lazy is pretty easy. It can be done anywhere, and really at any time. I have been pretty lazy most of my life, but there have been lazier people everywhere I look. I am not the laziest, and I am not the hardest working person, but I can say that I am pretty high on a scale of 1-10 on the laziness scale. So yes, I can honestly say I am being repetitive to achieve word count, and being repetitive to achieve something like word count is not always a bad thing, it is a form of success. Just like being lazy, it is a form of success.

The first and foremost way to be lazy is taking your time. Life (regardless to popular opinion) takes a long time to complete. So you gotta take your time, for if you go too fast, you gotta slow down or you might miss it (I murdered that line from forrest buelers day off, I can't remember it entirely to be honest) So yes, I do take my time when I do things. My biggest way I did this was when I was working at my high school job. To the managers there, I was just another high school stupid worker, so I was told, "Hey go change that trash can." or something trivial like "hey go do that 3 second task." What the heck do they want me to do when I am done? They could seriously tell me to do something that takes more then 3 seconds, of course I am going to come back in 7 seconds and ask, "Alright, what the heck now do you want me to do?" So, maybe it is a form of smiteing in my own mind, but I sure do take my time when I am given these stupid tasks to complete. If I finished efficiently and in a quirkey manner, I guess the only thing I am going to have to do is more stupid tasks and maybe even a possible 10 cent an hour raise in the next 4 months!

I am sort of weird when it comes to procrastination. But I think it is pretty effective. I always wait until the last night to do something (except blogging, its wednesday! Shocker right?) And I can honestly say that sometimes the best work comes out from it. It is created in a panic 'ohshit' sort of manner that forces me to focus on the task at hand, finishing whatever I need to do. When faced with an ultimatum, of course I need to finish it. The arguments against it are 'its not your best work, and you might not finish other work' but hey, if i get a good grade on it, and I am able to breeze through my other classes without taking a late grade, finishing a project at 11:15 at night doesn't sound too bad when thats the consequence for not doing it earlier.

Laziness helps me keep myself at my own minimum standards and honestly I think i should be a little more hardworking... nahhhhhhh
