This woman took slacking to a new
levelEmmalee Bauer, 25, of Elkhart, was employed by the Sheraton hotel company as a sales coordinator in Des Moines. While on the job, she kept a handwritten journal. A supervisor told her to stop writing on company time, but instead, Bauer wrote her journal, all 300 single-spaced pages, on her work computer.
"This typing thing seems to be doing the trick," she wrote. "It just looks like I am hard at work on something very important."

Well, obviously! She's in sales. I mean, sales people don't actually do anything.
If I weren't in sales, this blog wouldn't exist. =oD
HOW can the life of a 25 year old who lives in Des Moines be interesting enough to fill 300 single-spaced pages of ANYTHING but a roll of toilet paper?
WHOA whoa whoa...you..are ..in..SALES!!?!?!!
You? You who has a low opinion of everyone who is not you? you.
I mean, I could understand if you like, experimented on puppies and kittens, or tortured baby harp seals, but Sales?!
WOW. You think you know a guy.
Why do you think this blog was created? I spend day after day smiling at idiots, stroking their egos and letting them think they're geniuses, all so that I can land construction contracts. If I didn't have this blog to vent my frustrations, I'd not have a job, either. The two things are co-dependent, you see?
As a policeman, you had the advantage of being able to tell your "clients" that they were idiots, with no real fear of repercussions. I can only do that once, then I'm out of a job the next day, (well, except in very rare circumstances).
As to mzchief's question concerning how the life of a 25 year-old girl in Des Moines can possibly provide enough material to make 300 pages even remotely interesting... I've been wondering the same thing about Wonkette for years now. Near as I can tell, the only way she keeps a readership is by intermittently posting pictures of her "kissing" one of her girlfriends. Which means, of course, that 95% or better of her readership consists of nothing more than horny, jobless 20-something males who haven't had a date in... well, ever. Her "insight" certainly isn't what's attracting readers; I've read 9th grade research papers displaying more political acumen.
Hmmm.... I thought the advantage of being a policeman was benig able to occasionally taze or shoot your unruly "customers." :)
