When You Really, Really Should Be Doing Something Else…

What does WOT mean, really?

WOT is more than something to be chided for by your spouse. No, WOT is a philosophy to live by! WOT is a state of being, and being WOT refreshes the soul.When you achieve a complete state of WOT, you can survive the boss and his silly notions of what you should be doing. You can listen to your wife describing your day without hearing anything, but never missing out on a required “Yes, dear” or “Whatever you say, dear.”

You can even look forward to that colonoscopy you’ve got scheduled, if you’re willing to forget the appointment completely through Creative Procrastination.

What does it take to become completely WOT? Well, there are few essentials, of course:

• A meaningless, unfulfilling job
• An incliniation to practical jokes (harmless ones, mostly)
• An ability to commit, then renege with a smile
• A list of lots of things that you should be doing
• Access to lots of toys

The first point fits almost everybody, so it’s the rest that matter. That, and practicing your skills. These skills include:

• Creative Procrastination
• Shifting Blame
• Not Being in the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time
• Always Having the Coolest Toys

WOT isn’t about being mean, or worthless. (Well, worthless might still be on the list.) It’s aobut getting through the day with a smile. And helping your fellow human beings as well! Share your WOT with them, they need relief and personal growth too.

Who knows? You could become a real folk hero or something…
