Slacker Jobs!
November 25th 2011 01:05
One day you wake up in your mother's basement and realize this is not the place to celebrate your 40th birthday. Slacker, it's time to get a gig!
Fear not work shirker, there are jobs--even for the likes of you!
1) Chocolate Taster
There are actually all kinds of food and drink taster jobs out there somewhere. Good luck finding one. Someone would just about have to die to leave an opening for you. Forget I said that
2) Marijuana Tester
I think a little bit more is called for than rasping out "That's some good weed Jeeves!" But with the advent of medical marijuana, there has to be some kind of quality control.
3) Order taker
It's hard to believe that this job is not completely automated. But apparently there are some people who answer the phone say something like: may I take your order please? No arguing with disgruntled customers. Just type some numbers into a computer.
4) Mystery shopper
Buy stuff. Tell me if you liked buying it. Tell me if you liked the stuff.
5) Personal Shopper.
Buy stuff for other people. No guessing and you don't even have to have an opinion about it.
6) Gas Station Attendant
I will admit that if you get the midnight shift at the bad end of town you could be in trouble on this job. But in broad daylight, some of these attendants at the membership stores aren't even required to make change. They are doing a whole lot of nothing most of the time.
7) Night Watchman
Yeah, it could be dangerous, but if you are smart you will pick something to guard that is cheap, large, heavy and hard to move. Given all those negatives, even a moron isn't going to steal it. Just try not to sleep on the job.
8) House sitter
I suppose you have to convince burglars that someone is at home or keep the cat shaved and the dog polished. Not hard work unless the dog and cat don't like being shaved and polished.
9) Self storage manager.
Apparently, some self storage places are mostly collecting fees and very few customers show up on a day to day basis.
10) Radio DJ
I am not quite as convinced that this job is as cushy as all the slacker bloggers seem to think it is. After all, you probably don't get paid much and getting fired is an occupational hazard with radio folk. Still, it ain't rocket science and it ain't ditch digging.
Bonus info: I was perusing the habits habits of highly effective slackers when I stumbled across one that was a home run. Never, ever tell anyone when you finish the job early. Since you have to be at work for the whole eight hours anyway, milk the easy jobs for extra slacker time. Do some more "internet research."
