I have too much work to do that I'm not doing.

I have the exact opposite problem. However, in just a few days, I guess my problem will be the same as yours is currently.

Too lazy to get my own pics from my phone I last took some on Thursday. But its at about this stage.

I had my money on the giant strip-miner... But I guess it's a good thing they're on the way out like the dinosaurs.

lol no. NZ does not mine much things and stuff. Though nz does have a dinosaur from 200 million years ago still alive.

I guess I was thinking of Australia. I couldn't think of any other vehicle that large (other than this cool huge motorised pad they have for the NASA program) but in retrospect it shoulda been obvious since I've seen those tunnelers before in t'paper.

So tell us about all this work you have to do!

[Chromeo]

Oh it's just coursework and bullshit.

I could probably do it easy enough if I didn't chronically avoid anything that's like work. I think it's part laziness part avoidant personality disorder.

You should try and get into being not so lazy with work stuff and get into good habbits because it might affect you when you get a job.

For example we have a guy who has been working in my team for about 10 months and he's just freaking useless and lazy. Every time I walk past his computer he quickly flicks the computer screen from facebook or chess to his work screen. Ask him to do something and he won't have done it 3 hours later.

"Hey can you check its all correct before sending it to the client?" "OK"

Nop it won't be checked just sent, client ringing up "WTF is this shit?"

Or even easy jobs "Hey can you plug in the laptop next to you into the charager before you go home tonight Ill take the laptop out tomorrow" Next motning it's still flat.

Or "Ok lets split the work in half, Ill start from the bottom and you the top and we will meet in the middel"

I work up past the middle and meet him where I've done 17 and he's done 3.

So I no longer give him any jobs to do or aything really. I arrange it so I don't have to work with him, and if he asks me for a job, I give him the shit job and shit equipment, and don't bother helping much if he needs help until after I'm done with what I'm doing.

Im just glad that I earn more money than him and my boss recognises I work harder by giving me more money and stuff. Else I'd be mad if he got paid the same about as me and did 80% less work, thats just stealing from the company imo.

Honestly when I'm actually working like 'at work' I'm fairly productive, like when I was at the newspaper I filed a lot of copy and usually did the majority of the stories they gave me in the day. I think it's just that when I'm at home I get sidetracked too easy and/or it's too easy not to do the work, and say 'oh I'll do it later' etc.

What fi you go to a lie-berry or something?

[Chromeo]

Naaah, it all needs me to be on a computer and stuff. I guess they have those in the berry but sucky ones, and anyway I don't like going out.

What I just really need to do is to push past the bullshit and find some way to work hard when I'm at home. I mean I had months to do all this and now I'm only trying to do it when there's like 2 and a half weeks left.
