Samuel's Code Of the Temp-job Slacker (SCOTS)Samuel's Code Of the Temp-job Slacker (SCOTS) expounds on the dire need to identify what is called the Samuel's Opportunity Cost of a Kanasai Salary Job (SOCKS J). It must be some imbecile, Neanderthal-ic, pre-evolutionary thinking that has got people thinking that since their job yields so little financially, their effort in the job thus, in proportion, should be to a great extent short of the ideal. With that, they take pride in themselves for not blindly submitting to such a serfdom.
That, my unenlightened ones, is tragic Ignorance and Hubris in its most purest, unadulterated form. If all matter were trapped in some ultimate stagnant limbo where time did not exist, then the aforementioned mentality is without defect. However, Einstein teaches us that time and space are inseparable (i think he did), thus this brings up Samuel's Opportunity Cost of a Kanasai Salary Job. If one neglects his job by doing nothing, yes, he is preventing loss due to a more-than-proportionate effort put into work. In this sense he gains, by not losing. However, SOCKS J implies that there is the factor of time. Time is invaluable. A dying billionaire will promise you his entire fortune plus his sexy wife(s) and all his daugthers and goats, if you're interested, if you can somehow extend his life by just 2 hours. Thus, one who slacks at his job by doing nothing is in fact a loser, as the intrinsic monetary value of time far outweighs the gain by not losing due to effort in work.
Therefore, Samuel's Code Of the Temp-job Slacker instructs to all unenlightened ones that one must seek a middle path in this perplexing entanglement. One must continue to put in effort just in par with how much one is paid, yes, but one must make full use of the spare time enriching oneself. This thus minimizes SOCKS J.
A most ideal method of this, according to the 56th Psalm, Gospel of Nehnehpok in SCOTS, is to read online material in the office. Free e-books are the exemplary choice. SCOTS further proceeds to illuminate the way this is done. By copying the e-book into Notebook (.txt) and re-sizing the Notebook frame, one can fit the frame of the Notebook application into the reading pane of Microsoft Outlook.
Well now, one knows that Microsoft Outlook consists of 3 basic panes: the Folder Pane, the Inbox/Sent Items Pane, and the Email Reading Pane. By down-sizing the Notebook frame and moving it into the Reading Pane (ensuring the email Topic and sender(s) are still visible), one can actually seem to be reading a email with the Notebook as a screenshot/image. Thus, one can openly read his e-book in the office.
Of course, SCOTS also teaches the need to be an astute charlatan. One must do some real work/appear busy every now and then, or when key figures in the office are in the proximity. Thus, there is a need to remain constantly vigilant and ready even while you are reading the book, performing a SIT REP every 5 minutes or so.
While it is indeed an admitted fact that this ensuring of one's safety is vexatious, it is indeed worthwhile. The great Maharishi of Temp-job Slacking, the One Ecclesiastical Avatar of Optimal Temp-Job Usage, Samuel the Sole Teacher of SCOTS, has already set a great example to all by risking the precarious blighted domain of the Monstrous Low-Paying Temp-Job Slavetrade Company, and showing that SCOTS is the only way for all. He has read the entire Communist Manifesto from end to end within a working day's time, all in plain sight of all his clueless colleagues. They had no idea, those pitiful things. The only hint was probably the knowing, mocking smile on the great teacher of SCOTS himself.
