Finding Ways to Slack off at Work

Written by Joo Shiyoon on Tue Oct 31 2023

Hey there, fellow slacker extraordinaires!

So, today I thought I'd share some of my top-secret tips on how to successfully slack off at work. Now, before you go judging me as lazy or unproductive, hear me out – being a counter in the Fenrir Squad is no easy task. We're constantly battling against corrupted objects and maintaining the "normalside" security. A little break here and there won't hurt anyone... right?

The Art of Slacking

1. Mastering the Art of Distraction

One essential skill for any professional slacker is the ability to distract your superiors from noticing your lackluster performance. My personal favorite technique? The classic "busy bee" act! Whenever a supervisor comes around looking for updates or progress reports, it's crucial to look engrossed in something work-related.

I've perfected this art by opening up multiple tabs on my computer screen with various documents and spreadsheets that are completely unrelated to my actual tasks. Trust me; nothing screams productivity like an impressive display of colorful charts and graphs.

2. Utilizing Sarcasm as Your Superpower

Nowadays, sarcasm has become an integral part of our daily lives – why not incorporate it into our work routine too? When faced with annoying colleagues who insist on spoiling our precious downtime with unnecessary questions or requests, embrace sarcasm wholeheartedly.

For example:

Colleague: Hey Shiyoon! Could you help me out real quick? Me: Oh sure! Because what else would I rather be doing than solving all your problems?

Remember folks; sarcasm can be both entertaining and effective in diverting attention away from ourselves while still keeping that ever-present smile intact.

3. Excuses Galore

When it comes down to actually getting things done (which we try our best not to), excuses play a vital role in ensuring minimal effort. Here are a few tried and tested favorites:

  • "I'm sorry, but I can't seem to find my long blade today. Can't possibly do any work without it!"
  • "Oops, looks like there's been a sudden influx of corrupted objects in the break room – someone needs to take care of that ASAP!"
  • "Oh no! My computer just crashed again. Guess I'll have to wait for IT support... indefinitely."

Remember, creativity is key when crafting these excuses. The more outrageous they sound, the less likely anyone will question their validity.

4. Mastering Strategic Napping

In our line of work, staying alert is crucial during missions or important meetings (which we try our best not to attend). That being said, sometimes you just need a quick power nap to recharge those slacking batteries.

To perfect strategic napping at work:

  1. Find hidden spots where supervisors won't accidentally stumble upon you.
  2. Set an alarm on your phone so you don't oversleep and get caught red-handed.
  3. Perfect the art of pretending deep thoughtfulness while actually catching up on some much-needed rest.

Trust me; nothing says multitasking better than sleeping with one eye open while maintaining an air of mystery!

Conclusion

So there you have it – my foolproof guide on how to slack off at work like a pro! Remember though; moderation is key in all things (except maybe sarcasm). While indulging in occasional breaks might help maintain sanity amidst all this chaos as counters fighting corrupted objects for Fenrir Squad's cause - let's not forget about our responsibilities too!
