Why would you want any part of your life to be half assed? The behavior we use today becomes habit tomorrow, and follows us all of our lives. So says the cartoon character dragging the chains of his deeds for all eternity.

Well, if you're going to be at the job and have no other option and you don't get any benefits for giving it your 100% over giving it 50%, I say why give it your 100%?! Sounds bad, but we've all been in that sort of situation, I think. I'm in one now! :)

I hate work.
I have never been working.
I use my brains to make my living, not muscles.
I think workers are slaves. They have small wages, because I take the biggest part of a cake. That's how I got my ferrari.
All day long, I drive my ferrari for fun and go to many places to watch peoples are working, they are not smiling, but I am. Capitalism is so great !

take homers advice and just do it really half assed. not so half assed you get fired but u gotta push the limit. in the meantime look for a better paid more demanding job. the good thing with minumum wage jobs is the bosses don't think they own you and they don't usually try to control you because they know you're on a piss poor wage to start with and that would just be cruel. so you can get away with a lot. i don't mean stealing shit but having extra breaks and doing nothing while getting paid for it is good.


Don't think ole Homer was a dummy,for him to be doing what he's doing he's bankin 68,000 a year minimum. He's been there for 20 years. That's a million 3 b4 pay raises and bonuses to spend down at Moe's.

Man was not meant to work 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week (or more). Period.

Are you fuking kidding me? Man was made to work 16 hours a day...man was made to move constantly.....You think we would have evolved to our weak society now if early man didn't bust his/her ass all day just to survive?

The human organism, and any organism, should follow the "use it or lose it" saying.

Working hard keeps the organism strong and healthy.

Everyone here who doesn't like to work should be forced to live in a cardboard box next to a dumpster for a winter.....then come and tell me you don't like to work. You'll be hopping, skipping, and jumping to work.....
 
Gas prices here=3.15$ a gallon. I was working 8 hours a day 8.25 an hour...that's 66.00$ before taxes..so figure how much do I get after I put gas into my tank to get home?? I'm not bitching but damn if you work 8 hours or 16 hours..you should be able to provide...minimum wage is for teenagers living at home.

That idea holds true in this day in age. In early stages of man, working constantly was crucial though.

Now, if you work long days as an employee you are just joining the "Rat Race." Working each day to pay for your car which drives you to work. Its a vicious cycle. Sorta like a donkey following a carrot on a stick. Believe it or not, most people fall into this category.

The key to limiting the amount of work you have to do in life is to Invest in Assets so that you can pay your Liabilities and have additional money which you then re-invest into Assets. Once your Assets (things that make you money whether you are there or not) outweigh your liabilities (things that eat up your money) then you can begin to save and sit on your ass if you would like!

Don't work for money, make your money work for YOU!

Find a gardening job in a rich town.

15/hr for doing EASY SHIT in the OUTDOORS allllll day long allll summer long is ****ing GREAT.

Then winter comes..migrate into a greenhouse.
 
Man was not meant to work more than 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week for someone else. PEROID.

This world thinks everything is ****ing hunkey dorey when you work 40hrs a week making someone else rich so you can put food on the table. **** anything less than 15 dollars an hour for someone with 1 kid.

How many hours do you think early man hunted in a day? You think he was out from sun-up to sun-down? I seriously doubt it. Also, the work was distributed and involved different sort of bodily punishment than the blue collar 40/hr/week involves these days. And especially not the type that white collar workers deal with. If 'work' was so good for your body, why is it that blue collar workers tend to go on disability for messed up backs, knees, elbows, etc faster than those not in the profession? Early man hunted for food. He wasn't throwing bolts into a beam for a paycheck.

You need to make a distinction between enjoying work and enjoying money. Living in a cardboard box for a winter would make me want the means to get out of the situation. Not specifically wanting work, per se. If work didn't pay enough to get me out of that situation, I probably would not want to work there.

I understand you might be somewhat proud of your work ethic, but really, man was NOT meant to work 40 hours a week.

Yep! Money is the reason people go to work. Some people go to work because they like their job. Most people, unfortunately, hate their job. You can blame industrialization or the computer age for that one.

If I had enough money to have it make money and have me sit on my ass all day, I'd end up doing 3 things all day long. Exercising, growing and setting up linux boxes/maintaining linux boxes.

The third one may be considered work, but it's a labor of love :D

There was a time when man was much more simple and his thoughts were far less complex.

Mabey they only spent 2 hours catching their food, but think of the preperation time for skinning/defeathering an animal, gathering wood for a fire, and possibly other spices/vegetables. Not to mention finding/building shelter and keeping the group somewhat organized. People were busy alot of the time and eventhough they werent as intellegent as people today they got things done.

What im saying is its not all hard physical work, but it is time consuming and could take 16-20 hours a day to get the village fed, and keep everyone happy.

As for your comment... heres my opinion. "blue collar workers" For the most part (unless they work for the govt) work their ass off doing essential jobs for this country and dont get half the recognition or respect they deserve. Ya their backs hurt earlier, their knees are both replaced by the time they are 60 and they go on disability because they pay for it their entire careers, and finally ****ing get it back when they get hurt.

And yes man was meant to work more than 40 hours a week. But not a hundred humans working in a factory doing mindless, specialized work to make someone else rich.

I understand the concept of "WORK" in america is going to work for someone else. But its not very bennifical for someone else all day making them rich so that they give you a cut of what you earned them.

**** the system, and anyone who disagrees with that statement.

**** managers.

**** buisnessmen.

**** anyone who makes a living off of directing others what to do, so that they get the extra profit, while trying to keep the ignorant workers happy by giving them shitty little 1 dollar raises after they have made the company thousands and thousands of dollars.

**** the industrial world.

That's what the cavewomen did while the cavebros sat back and drank dinobeer :)

Yep, I agree. But the work was different. When I talk about work, Im talking about standing around doing your thing for money. They did it for survival. If we did it for survival (and Im talking about actually doing what they did, not doing what WE do in order to make money, to pay for arbitrary things to survive), we wouldn't really see it as work. Hell, a lot of people THESE days would (and some do) choose doing it the old way instead of reporting in every day for 8-10+ hours a day (after having sat in the car for an hour)

Though I agree that blue collar work isn't easy, I also don't see the plumber as a national hero. Sorry :) People go into that line of work knowing what's going to happen to them over time. But yeah, I give them their due respect.

And yes man was meant to work more than 40 hours a week. But not a hundred humans working in a factory doing mindless, specialized work to make someone else rich.

I agree. Or in a cubicle, or doing any repetitive task indoors or outdoors. Farmers, I can see needing to work 40 hour weeks. 40 hour workweeks in most offices just means unorganized inefficient corporate structure.

Sounds like you're ready for socialism! Or at least you're certainly ready for a much toned down version of the hypercapitalism we live and breathe here in the states.

It produces some very ugly people who will bite into your jugular in order to buy the 4th rim on their hummer.

oh the socialists, i'm pretty much a socialist, though not really because of the standard reasons, i just think certain industries are too important to society to be trusted to private enterprise, of course the current government agrees but always descibes these as the industries related to the military, but i think communications and energy are for more imprtant, and on a side note, i can't believe that if all you want to do is set up and maintain linux boxes your having trouble making serious bank doing that.
