I’ve really GOT to learn to whittle the time it takes me to get ready for work each day. After surfing through some news stories, I may have found the answer in this CBS News story: Instead of taking the time to shower each morning, I can make do with an “air bath.”
 ”You take off all your clothes, you lie in your bed, you open your windows, and you just let the air waft over you — that’s the air bath. . .”
Will the air take care of that pesky little B.O. issue that exists after working out? Or working all day? Oops - but slackers don’t work - so they must not need water/soap baths. Methinks that even after relaxing in a hammock for a day or two a person would still need a shower or bath. However, relaxing in a hammock sounds nice - for awhile.
Apparently for some people, slacking off is a fine art and one they’re quite proud of. However, according to the article most people are slackers. I wonder where they did their research. Look at this:
Even the average American worker admits to frittering away just over 2 hours per 8-hour workday. Top time-wasting activities are surfing the Internet, socializing with coworkers and conducting personal business. Workers’ top excuses are that they don’t have enough to do or they think they’re underpaid.
TWO HOURS? And I feel guilty when I take two or three minutes to check email between reading groups at school. I’m so far behind! However, I DO have MORE than enough to do at my job, quite frankly. I can’t use that for an excuse to fritter away two hours at work each day.
One professional ex-slacker said,
“I had a real job for a couple of years. I know what it’s like. It sucks your energy mentally and physically.”
I certainly don’t want my mental and physical energy sucked, but how do you pay the bills if you don’t work? That’s the one question the article didn’t answer.

Surfing the Internet while on the job is not always an unproductive waste of time. My current contract as a cellular RF optimization teck involves testing mobile Internet functionality. Sometimes we just drive around listening to streaming audio, sometimes I surf my regular blog selection, and sometimes we sit in specific sectors of specific cellsites while I run a script which tests download speeds.
