no, I am a web producer at a newspaper and do freelance on the side. I just want to have more time, but I dont want to take the hit financially. Thought some of you might have novel ideas regarding this.

Go on welfare and let the masses support you. You are required to have 5 children, and lack any motivation.

I wish someone would send me a $95,000 fake check like that one kid. I would withdraw it all and keep that shit.

if i knew how to not work and make money dog then i would write a book about how to do it and then make more money doing nothing. good luck.

well you don't, but quit if you don't like it, you could try and collect unemployment by them letting you go for some reason. :)

What timing!
This is a real story, and it happened yesterday.
My wife works for a large midwest US bank right next door to my office. Yesterday, a new person was moved into an office on her floor. She asked her boss about him. Her boss said this guy has worked for the company for years, constantly promoted to his level of incompetence. 2 years ago, he reached a place so high in the company he was in boardrooms. He was fired, he really didnt do anything all day anyway.
Nobody cancelled his monthly paycheck and this guy continues to show at work everyday. He is moved form floor to floor as nobody likes him or has any understanding of wwhat he is supposed to be doing.
On top of all of this, my wife works with a bunch of midwestern idiots, none of which have seen Office Space or the stapler guy.
I swear to god this is true, i think what it is is that the guy is unstable, and they are afraid to tell him he is fired.

Damn, I am unstable, I am applying to the bank too!

Id love to quit today, but I am accustomed to not being broke. The thing is I dont want my lifestyle to take a hit. Im fucking dreaming.

yo, d. walk into his office and punch yourself in the face. then punch yourself into his glass cabinet. continue until security arrives. then say whimpering "please... no more... please god no more."
you should walk out of there with a fat settlement.
at least it worked in fight club.

Mr.. mrdobolina,
Read my post, i didnt make that up. This is the same bank that decided that their IT workers were overpaid and fired them and made them reapply. Of course, all software deveopment projects mysteriously quit working soon after.Pretend you are crazy! Talk about guns and dressing up in bunny suits! They will be so afraid of you you can just do anythign you want all day and they will still pay you!

no doubt, thing is my boss is a pretty good guy.
but I will think about that one...
- mrdobolina0
thanks werker, but Im not sure how that would apply here...
- Tyrone0
vander would just walk out curb dog style!

I also have 2 friends in Asheville NC USA that are getting paid by the federal government to not work becuase they got themselves diagnosed with an anti-societal mental illness.
One of them walks around all day with a mirror in his forhead like Rimmer from Red Dwarf. They are certified geniuses, and they decided to develope this mental condition when they found this loophole.
