[vi edit]

Yes, but only because when I sit down to do a job, I actually sit there until it's finished. Then I fsck around.

Unlike my coworkers who will do 15 minutes of work, go chitchat down the hall. Comeback, do a couple more minutes, go out and get a drink. Come back, do a couple more minutes of work, go hit the restroom. Ect ect ect.

When I have something to do. It's done promptly and quickly. Because of that, I tend to have more free time than other people in my office

Liviathan - leviathan almost. Don't they make jeans from their skins?

[Scene: The interview room.]

Bob Porter: The next paper looks like a Peter Gibbons.

(Peter enters.)

Bob Slydell: Aha! All right. We were just talking about you. You must be Peter Gibbons. Uh huh. Terrific. I?m Bob Slydell and this is my associate, Bob Porter.

Peter: Hi, Bob. Bob.

Bob Porter: Why don?t you grab a seat and join us for a minute?

(He does so.)

Bob Slydell: Y?see, what we?re trying to do here, we?re just trying to get a feel for how people spend their day. So, if you would, would you just walk us through a typical day for you?

Peter: Yeah.

Bob Slydell: Great.

Peter: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late. I use the side door, that way Lumbergh can?t see me. Uh, and after that, I just sorta space out for about an hour.

Bob Porter: Space out?

Peter: Yeah. I just stare at my desk but it looks like I?m working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too. I?d probably, say, in a given week, I probably do about fifteen minutes of real, actual work.

Bob Slydell: Uh, Peter, would you be a good sport and indulge us and tell us a little more?

Peter: Let me tell you something about TPS reports...?

(Cut to later. Peter is more relaxed.)

Peter: The thing is, Bob, it?s not that I?m lazy. It?s just that I just don?t care.

Bob Porter; Don?t, don?t care?

Peter: It?s a problem of motivation, all right? Now, if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don?t see another dime. So where?s the motivation? And here?s another thing, Bob. I have eight different bosses right now!

Bob Slydell: I beg your pardon?

Peter: Eight bosses.

Bob Slydell: Eight?

Peter: Eight, bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That?s my real motivation - is not to be hassled. That and the fear of losing my job, but y?know, Bob, it will only make someone work hard enough not to get fired.

Bob Slydell: Bear with me for a minute.

Peter: Ok.

Bob Slydell: Believe me, this is hypocritical. But what if you were offered some kind of stock option and equity sharing program?

Peter: I don?t know. I guess. Listen, I?m gonna go. It?s been really nice talking to be of you guys.

(He shakes their hands.)

Bob Slydell: Absolutely. It?s all on this side of the table, trust me.

Peter: Good luck with your layoffs. I hope your firings go really well.

Bob Slydell: Wow.

(Cut to the cubicle?s. Peter walks past them and into the hall.)

Bill: Hey, Peter, what?s happening? Listen, uh -

(Peter walks right past him.)
