slacking

There are many ways to slack at work. I discovered a new one for myself today.

My sprained ankle saga created a hullaboo at the office. As much as I appreciate the concerns from my colleagues, have they never seen a sprained ankle in their life?

Anyway, I have literally no work for this entire week. Primarily because it is the examination week, where interns are disallowed from helping to mark scripts. Think they really know that we can screw up the life of some poor child. So, I trotted down to the canteen for my 2nd breakfast.

Oh, before I continue, one needs to understand my dietary habits at school. On a typical day, I would have three to four meals within my time in school. It may or may not include lunch, depending on specific weekday. In any case, there are always colleagues that are free at some odd slot, my fellow interns who have nothing to do or the faithful computers that I spend most of time with in the institution I work for to have breaks with

Back to the slacking entry: I get 'paid' to slack, eat and use the computer. Sure I do my research stuff for my department, but I conclude that I get paid to do almost nothing most times.
