Is this what a real job is like?

Dear Andrea,
I feel your pain, this working crap is for the birds. I work in a small office where we all know each other pretty well. My work here is pretty mindless and could be done by a monkey. I found this tip that might help us out..

Never walk down the hall without a document in your hands. People with documents in their hands look like hardworking employees heading for important meetings.
People with nothing in their hands look like they’re heading for the cafeteria.
People with a newspaper in their hands look like they’re heading for the bathroom.
Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you do.

Is this what a real job is like?

Ha, thanks Lauren! I try to walk around at all times with some sort of paper in my hand for this exact reason! And I couldn't agree with you more--working is for the bird!
