A good way NOT to make extra money - keep a journal about slacking off! LOL!!

First let me say, thank you for posting some of the most amusing stories here. I always find these articles interesting and I always have something to say about them. Which is good because this is a discussion place. ha ha As for that woman...I can't believe that she even tried to get unemployment! What was she thinking that she would sit there and do nothing to accomplish her job and instead type about her ways of avoiding working AND saving it? Did she really think that she would really get away with it for that long? I can't help but wonder how long she was employed there. As for it getting published...now that would be a very sad day indeed for a woman to publish her way to somewhere from doing nothing. So much for her getting a job in the future! LOL Of course though, she will just find another way to sit on her butt at home doing nothing. And sadly, probably be living on our tax money.

Dear Journal, boy have I got the best idea of how to slack off. My boss helped me come up with this one. LOL, Well is appears she has a wonderful start in the field of writing!

That was rather silly of her to keep a journal at work. I don't believe in keeping journals, as although I have nothing to hide, I would hate anybody to read my personal information. Yes, the internet is very handy when it comes to checking out people. Whenever I want to know something about somebody, I will try a few search engines to do my research. I have done searches on myself and my family, just for fun, but nothing showed up. How, disapointing! I wanted to be able to read something good about them.

She kept a handwritten journal at work? That seems really silly, you're employer can basically go through your work belongings. I can understand do it if you really wanted but wouldn't you leave it at home?

This sounds strange to me.Why would she keep the journal at work anyway? that was such a dumb thing to be writing..stange

I think that is crazy as well - how did she let someone get into her personal stuff? That was not very bright either. I think the stupidest thing that people do on the web is make myspace pages and websites like these - http//the9millimeter.tripod.com/ There people are just asking to go to the pen! That is as dumb as it gets to me. I guess they think police look at stuff like this.

Wow, I would think this is going a little over board, and to the Extreme if she cannot even get Unemployment from this, unless they have proof that some of these things she was writing about she was also doing. I am wondering how they can get away with things like this without the woman seeking a Lawyer, unless she personally knows they have more than enough Justable cause to do so.

Good point. I'm not sure what the lady was thinking, but generally you can count on other people to keep records on what you are doing wrong. You do not need to do it yourself. I guess you would have to be angry at the boss or the company. If I would have such a record, it would really be distressing to look at it.

if she's smart she'll get the journal published and make some money off it, might make the best seller's list if enough slackers buy it looking for ways to get outa work lol

how right you are they sure are doing that.I know my boss does for sure. What a d a she was huh.

HAHAHA this makes me laugh and takes me back when i was working at a university, i had to sack a secretary who e.mailed my staff wanting to know the best scams, she was using a different one each month and we had to stop it, but I do think she was showing great ingenuity blessed be

she must have been 1 dumb lady....i cant believe she even thought of mentioning it ...maybe she thought she never got cught when she was a kid and slacking of homework......

That is funny. Don't you think though that if she was given more to do in her job she wouldn't have had time to be on the computer all the time. It sounds to me that she was basically insulting her employers that they could pay her all this money for doing hardly anything. She was stupid to record everything though. If you are going to do this you have to cover your back. I know loads of people that access the internet while at work because they can. Her employers most probably fired her because they were embarrassed!!!

is that a link to your site? thats really neat. has alot of cool info and news stores. great job!

I can't believe that someone would be so dumb as to make such a journal and keep it at work! What was this person thinking? Obviously she wasn't. Keeping such a journal is fine if you are going to keep it somewhere (such as home) where your employer can't read it. This woman isn't very smart and deserves whatever punishment comes her way. Let's just hope that she doesn't try to get public assistance beings that she can't get unemployment.

I have one question, will the full text of this journal will be published soon ? I think it will be helpful for a lot of people, I just can't wait to read it ! LOL

LOL, try to stay on work intact, thats great that a way to help us to not slack off! thanks for the info though.! seems like its gonna be hard for her to a new job.

I have to give her credit for making it look like she was actually working. However, if I was going to keep the journal, I would have typed in it at work and saved it to something that I could take with me so no one would discover it. That just seems like she was begging to be caught.

What an idiot, she deserves to be fired. I have a job where you can slack off and not do anything and it is no secret, but I wouldn't go around making lists of things to do to slack off, I would expect to get fired that also.

How funny! I can't believe that someone would have the nerve to behave that way. And then on top of it to ask the company to pay her unemployment. LOL Maybe she will be on the news some day with her own how to avoid working at work website.
