Slacker
Lazybones
Laggard
Sluggard
Loafer
Shirker
So endeth the thesaurus list.
Today, I am a slacker (sluggard?).
Today, I join the great masses of the unemployed.
Ne’er do well.
Thankfully, my shirker ways will end in exactly one week when I begin my new job and a whole new adventure.
I spent nine and a half years toiling for my former employer, and it was with a heavy heart that I left on Friday.
But ultimately, though painful, it was the right decision.
Next Monday I start with a company that is consistently in the top ten “best places to work”. We’ll see in the coming months whether or not I agree with that assessment, eh?
But for today, I’m a layabout. And I like it. Maybe a little too much.
