How To Get Out Of Work Without Even Trying
1. Have a bad back. This keeps people from asking you to lift heavy objects, such as moving boxes and mattresses and desks.
2. Have 3 sleepless nights. You look like hell, and no one wants you around.
3. The morning when the work is to be done, crawl back into bed and sleep until it is completed.
4. Marvel at how much good that nap did you, as everyone else sits, all sweaty, looking stupefied.

Because, you know, we all worked so hard…
