What is it with people who have to
be busy all the time? Let me be clear: I spent my career looking busy and now, in my retirement, and with the tips that are included in the Curmudgeon Handbook, I can focus on the much more relaxing, enjoyable - yet challenging - task of finding fault in others' activities whilst remaining above the fray. After all, there is an art to doing as little as possible as well as pride in a job avoided.
These Busy Bees even have
some misguided illusion that I would be happier if I were to join them in said
wholesome activity. They clearly don't understand that as a curmudgeon, I already have my hands full, what with trying to ignore the vast amounts of stupidity
that accost me daily.
As a wise man - I believe it was me -
once said: "don't do today what you can put off 'till tomorrow."
Why, my ability to put off tasks is the stuff legends are made of.
Not to appear immodest, but some of my theories in this area have been
accepted by the Handbook editorial staff. For example, there is an art to
writing down a task with great fanfare, appearing enthused about it, and all
the while furiously creating the perfect plan to never quite DO it.
So, Busy Bees - stop and smell the roses. Stop and smell
SOMETHING. Or turn on the Hallmark Channel - there could be a Rockford marathon afoot.
