I declare that it is officially Friday Slideday. That means you are officially invited to slide down a notch whatever it is that you were doing today. So, if you were at a slight 30% capacity on doing work this morning, slide that down a very comfortable and barely functioning 10%. If you were wearing tuxedo wear for some odd reason today, slide down to shorts, hat, sandals and T-shirt mode. If your lunch was a healthy salad and glutten free tofu and sprouts sandwich, I give you permission to slide that down to a pizza. Whatever it is that you are working so hard on, don’t. Tell your boss that you are sliding down your chair onto the floor for a quick nappy nap and if they ask, tell them Bitter Ben told me so. I take complete blame for all your shenanigans. Also, if they ask, tell them that Bitter Ben gives them permission to be 30% less of a jerk today. Tell them to go eat their stuffed crust pizza bacon sandwich and leave the sliding to you. And just so you have a better idea of what to do, here are some examples.
No sir…

It’s never too early…
Chicken seems to get it…
This kid has clearly mistaken…
This guy gets it…
This kid and kitty…
This dude started his Slideday Friday…
And this lady…

Make Friday Slideday happen…
I guess this reporter didn’t like my post idea…
Well look at that. I can see most of you have slid to your least productive already. In fact, it looks like most of you have slid so far down the slide of productivity today, that you could barely manage to finish this post. Well, I’m so bad, that that I couldn’t even finish this
ARRRGGGHHHH
Bitter Slidder Bitterness Ben
I never manage to read your posts on Friday. Can I have permission to not work so hard on whatever day I read it?

I grant you permission to slack on the job any day. Only thing I ask is that you blame me when you get in trouble for it. More bitterness you know.

I recently discussed my inability to function come Monday morning (a little something I call Manic Mondays since I lack originality, of course). Maybe I take your suggestions of sliding down on Friday (through Sunday) just a little bit too seriously…

I not only don’t function well on Monday, but Tuesday as well. Tuesday are even worse because most everyone else has woken up for the week and realizes if they don’t pass their work onto me, it will seem like they didn’t do anything for the week.

Oooooh my productivity meter has been slid all the way down maybe to an 8%. That 8% was used to make coffee… so now I can be even more aware and alert of my lack of productivity.
Yup, I’m a winner.
Cheers.

8% seems high for me right now. I’m going to have just enough to make it to lunch for pizza, then have just enough to make it home at 3:30.

I take responsibility for all bitterness and its derivatives. Tomfoolery, shenanigans, balderdashery, idiodicy. Pizza, sure. If you wouldn’t mind calling, and using your CC, I’ll pay you back.
You read the whole post? How could you have possibly read all 100 words of it? I can’t even imagine…

And now that you expended your minimum effort on finishing the post, you can tell your boss you’ve got nothing left to give and of course, you can blame me.
