How to Effectively Not Work While Working - Part II

So I know I continually post about how I don't do anything at my work/study job at school. Well, last week something changed. I was minding my business at work, working hard watching YouTube videos, when my boss starts vacuuming the room. Pissed that he would dare interrupt what I was doing, I turned up the volume on my headphones and continued to watch YouTube. So he vacuums the upper half of the room, sees that I'm not doing anything and asks ME to vacuum the back of the room. This is a pretty small room, so I was shocked by his audacity. I thought we had a mutual understanding that you pay me to sit here and do nothing.

"Will you vaccum the back of the room Matt? It looks like it's pretty dirty"
I slowly take off my headphones and acknowledge his response.
"Yeah."

So I go to the back of the room, turn on the vacuum for 15 seconds and turn it off. The moral of the story kids is that if you do a shitty job, people probably won't ask you to do it again. Needless to say, but he's never asked me to do anything again.
