Did that organisation that test GM modified food finally get back to you? Let us all know if you grow an extra kneecap or your nose falls off. Pics would be way cool....

Not to worry though Dan-O, some of us professional slackers have steady employment, but still manage to goof off all day.

Being employed doesn't remove the slacker label, in fact, a GOOD slacker IS employed....slacking his way to profitability!

I always find it funny when people find out about my job and then seem to act as if I'm making minimum wage or somewhere close to it.  I ain't makin' millions, but I do alright

I reckon mowing lawns for a living would be cool. You could knock-off peoples sprinklers and gnomes.

If I mowed lawns for a living I would have a whole garage full of sprinklers and gnomes.

It is a custom here in Amereica to fill out other credit card offers before each one hits its limit and then only make minimum payments on each of them....

with all the credit card offers shoved in our mailboxes everyday we could live like kings...

He who maxes out the most plastic wins.......

well, i survived a week no probs (",). the work is fine. not too difficult. chances for improvement in the organisation. only problem now is the people i work with are, to say the least intellectually challenged. so conversations are somewhat limited. so i just hang with the middle-aged dudes- if age hasnt wisened them then at least they know not to say anything when they dont know...

Yeah, look at Bill Gates.

not that i think much of microsoft, but Gates certainly doesnt sit around doing nothing all day. he built that company up. would have taken a lot of work especially considering how crap the product is  ;)

Interesting take. I never considered it that way. I actually have a small degree of respect for Bill Gates after reading that.

I am not sure you can say he-bitches here. I think the word ---smurfette--- is frowned upon. I once said bitches and it got censored by some ---smurfette---.
