What jobs are there where you can do as little as possible?

Politician is probably the most obvious answer but not necessarily always true (especially outside of Ireland)

Night watchman: Zzzzzz

Printer support: "Remove paper jams" "reload toners when they've run out"

Sleep Clinic guinea pig: Zzzzzz

not so easy – actually takes a fair bit a physical exertion to hold a pose that long.

I'd say bar tending in an old mans pub.

I'd like to be a kept husband, X Box and football all day. Sex at night. That'd rock!

Checking in and out books all day, then walking a few metres to stack them away.....hardly rocket science or taxing ( sorry, no smilie for yawn, which I just did,by the way.)

Yep. Did this for a few years in a couple of pubs and a GAA club. You tend to have all the cleaning done by noon. If you have a rudimentary grasp of history,politics, GAA, soccer, horseracing and bigotry there isn't even much studying involved. Even if you don't, you can cover up your ignorance with a few stock phrases; "Talk to me about it", "<insert name> would turn in his grave" ,"He couldn't give <insert name> a game on his best day", "They're not as bad as <insert country that's not being talked about>".

Break in case of emergency: "Was it for this that Michael Collins and James Connolly gave their lives?", "Fcuking junkies, ruining this neighbourhood"

Closer: "Shur what chance do those kids have? It's the dealers and the moneymen over in the Bahamas that have this country ruined"

*polish bar busily (with barely concealed/suppressed frustration), and hurry away to get "much needed stock".*

\clientele nod sagely.

Got to love the way people bitch and moan about the council being lazy, Over paid, etc etc. Well there was nothing stopping people from getting a job there.

HA HA HA. Sounds like one of my locals. Classic.

I worked for a guy who was a contractor for Galway County Council. It was a joke. I was supposed to be driving machinery. Somedays we didn't even start the engines. I was asked once why was I working so hard "you're paid by the hour". Loads of tea breaks and we used to block the road if a bakery van or coke truck was coming. We'd get free stuff from them to let them pass. Good old days of the Tiger.

The permanent guys were the worst. Some didn't even carry their shovels, instead they would drag them along the road behind them.
