Sometimes, it is hard to admit to yourself that you are actively trying to avoid work. After all, most of us were brought up to be good, law-abiding citizens who give their all at the office and would never engage in such shenanigans as skirting our responsibilities. But, sometimes, like right now, that is exactly what we need to do. Because unlike machines, we need breaks, we need to clear our minds, and we need to remember that we are hooman and more than the function that we serve in a company.

So we hope that the title of this list has enticed you to give in to your need to pawcrastinate and that you will give yourself at least a few fleeting minutes of meditation before you resign yourself to going back to work.

  • We wanted to serve a little warning, just in case you thought that not working would have no ramifications. Because much like this dog who is regretting his caloric decisions, you too will very likely find yourself in a similar position where you are at your weekly meeting with no work to show for yourself.

  • A pawfect companion for anyone who is daily dallying the day away doing their very best to complete little to no work at all. Heck, we might even consider tracking down the mechanic shop where this pupper was hired so we can hangout around engines together and pretend we are working.
