Most people attribute work to something that has to be done when you are not sleeping, eating or increasing the population. For others, the latter mentioned activities themselves take the form of work. But for half of the population that works, it just means getting enough money to buy food so that you can get something to eat and make your spouse shut up for a while and also get the strength to go work some more the next day.
While most people work and earn money, there are a slightly more significant number of people who earn money through a more rigorous practise of appearing to work.
This act of acting like you are working yourself to death is harder than it sounds. It is like a Private acting career. Unlike television actors, it does not guarantee a ready audience to appreciate your talent and hard work. In fact, if your acting skills in this area are not recognized, then you know you are doing quite well.
Although it is a highly specialized field, Working /Acting can be perfected by those who have determination in their genes. To NOT work that is..!
While trying to Act like you are working, always follow the first rule. Try to avoid having to act at all. This does not mean you have to work earnestly. God Forbid, No! Instead, it means avoid turning up for work such that you may actually be given work.
Arriving late and leaving early certainly improves your chances of not getting work assigned to you.
Also, join lots of clubs. It doesn’t matter if you are interested in them or not. This provides lots of meetings which you are required to attend through the course of a day and gives you a comfortable excuse/ proof to disappear when you find some work heading your way.
A fatal mistake to make though, is accepting these meeting requests. Actually attending meetings can backfire on you spectacularly because people can randomly assign duties to you depending on whether your face looks like a movie star they like or hate.
People always hesitate to give work to a person who they know is really busy. So make sure you appear that way.
Walk around with an expression that seems to suggest you are really tensed.
And always, make sure that you walk like you are really going somewhere, even if it is only to the Restroom.
Get your friends to call you at work and make it loads of fun for them too when you talk back to them in official lingo.
For example, a simple question like, “Heard any good reviews about the movie which released yesterday?” can be answered with a stern-faced, “I have looked in to the parameters and found them suitable to be recommended for further viewing at an appropriate date suitable for all parties.”
Oh, by the way… We know your secret…The fact that you are reading this puts you at number one on the list of celebrities who act like they are working!
