The Laziness of an Individual

So here I am. I was writing these damn journal things for my Internship when I realized that some aspects would make a good blog. I wanted to talk about laziness. Partly because in my Internship journal, I had to write about how many people did not show up to work during some of the weeks.
Now think about this for a second. How lazy are you? Are you the simple lazy? Where all you want to do is just sit down and kick back. Do you get hungry for a certain type of food, but you're all: "meh, that'll take time to go get/make". Do you make a mess in your room and just look at it thinking: "ehh. i'll get to it later". Yeah. I feel you there. We're all pretty lazy in some way or form. But for me, it's to an extent.
For example, take my job. I work for a dining center on campus. Yeah. I know....annywayyys, I never call in sick and go to work whenever I have to. If I can't make it, I get a substitute (which isn't too often). It is an easy and simple job. You could be as dumb as rocks and not get fired from that job. It is an extremely easy campus job. NOW, I always see people trying to get substitutes and people to take their shifts because they are "busy" or "have school shit to do". Bull shit! I know what you did there. I don't know why they just can't go to work and be lazy there. That's what I do. Sure I get lectured and people are always telling me what to do, but I get paid to do that. In business, that is what we call profit. The benefits of going to work and barely doing shit vs the benefits of not going to work and chilling with your friends greatly outweighs the not going to work. Why you ask? Well its simple. Money buys you shit. For example, alcohol. I go to work, make money, get alcohol with that money and have a better time with my friends than if I were to not make money and just play some game with them.
"But my friends are cooler than work!"...All I have to say about that is that you probably shouldn't be working then if you want to spend more time with friends and all that. Now I understand if people don't want to go to work if they are sick, have important plans that will affect their life (note: i said important. drama doesn't count), and anything else like that; it is understandable. But come on people! Work gets you money. And last I heard, money is good. Well...at least thats what people have been telling me.
I think the thing that bugs me most, in my job, is when someone constantly gets substitutes for work and then complains about being "poor" and not making enough money. First off, they should go to work instead of complaining about money. It's their fault they wanted to do whatever it was instead of working. Secondly, they are NOT poor (i'm talking about people at my work). I do not care what they say, they are going to college and that does not make them poor. Do you know what I consider poor? Poverty. Living in an apartment, driving a car, eating everyday....that is not poor. Whoever said that college students are poor should be thrown out of a window and then beaten with a finely trimmed tree branch. But yea, theres a reason why people constantly getting subs bugs me. It hurts my self benefit. If people are getting constant substitutes, say a different person each time, then they are new to the rotation of habitual motion (I just made that term up, I'm trying to say that they are not in the loop). This then affects me. Somewhere in the chain, some shit goes down and I have to pay the price one way or another.
Example: Working dishes. Usually we have an everyweek thing where everybody knows their roles and does their stuff so the people working dishes (us) get out on time. Now if you replace different work stations with substitutes, then you create chaos. These new players don't know shit and mess with us. In turn, those of us who are used to the laid back lazy pattern have to work extra hard to pick up the slack. That's fucked up.
So yea, look at your life and see if you can apply this laziness to anything. In one way or another, someone's laziness is going to negatively affect you. Mine? My laziness negatively affects the customers to the dining center. Meh. I would say on average, about 92% of people's laziness negatively affects other people weekly. Anways, I should probably get back to work on my Intership journals.
