I enjoyed the movie, not a fan of it. But I do follow some of it's philosophies. I don't enjoy my job, never really did, and I've seen some much crap all those years, I just don't care anymore. All you have to do is to work as little as you can, make sure your boss belives your job is difficult and stressing, look busy all the time, go to meetings and say as much as you can (it dosen't matter what), stay up late in office at least once every month, and make sure your boss knows about it... Do it, and you'll do just fine.

I remember this time when I was working on this other city, it was my last week there and all I had to do is to perform a copy of a database on a wednesday, I was pretty much stuck there for the rest of the week. I was in a small room filled with computers and servers and this incredibly noisy air duct, and there was no one there and my cell phone didn't work there... Well, what can I say? I had freaking picnics there, with burgers, and milkshakes and chocolate bars the size of books, I got some extra pounds that week. I'd web surf like I never did before. I'd post here. I'd escape work without anyone seeing me (I didn't talk to anyone at that company that week!) and go to the mall. I watched Spiderman 2, and got back without anyone noticing. And the best part is: they payed my consulting firm the hours I spent there - and I only really worked for like, 3 hours that week.
