Given the amount of searches that have been done for Britney online, a lot of men would find reading anything about her as beneficial in some way

Everyone has a right to be obsessed about something/someone!

Robert, even if some of your buddies don’t read your essays, I always will

“Mens News Daily: Daily news, commentary, culture, liberty, a chronicle of mankind”

As you can see from MND’s banner, this Web site is not just for essays that “would benefit the male gender.”

MND is about mens rights, but it’s also abut pop culture and current events (my specialty).It’s a chronicle of mankind (generic term)

In other words, I will freakin’ write about whatever I want to write about. If I want to write about Britney every day, I will.

Don’t read my essays if they don’t meet with your approval.

RPR:

What is it with your obsession with Britney? I guess you figure if you can pick out a female slut to criticize, you must therefore be a MRA. Why else are you even a columnist on Mens News Daily? Can’t you find something positive to write about that would benefit the male gender?

Avoiding work is an all-American pastime, is it? I guess the Mexican influx has some basis in sense then. Next time a shuttle blows up on the launch pad, I will wonder if anyone in the control room, all busy looking busy, notices. And I will wait for the NYT articles explaining that Iraq is a lost cause because all the soldiers over there are playing spider solitaire. Thank the Lord for Donald Trump or nothing would get done at all in America. At least he keeps himself busy firing folk.

Well Robert that wasn’t the issue. I WAS BUSY! I was doing things that I was supposed to do. However, I didn’t APPEAR to be busy enough! So some jerk can be goofing off and seem to be doing more than me, while I am actually doing my job.

I push a broom, lol! I am not lucky (?) enough to have an office job.
I think it was very stupid of the woman to keep a journal about avoiding work. I think when people are at work, they should work, BUT if they are done with what they have to do, for the day or for the moment, there should be nothing particularly wrong with keeping busy in other ways, as long as you are discreet.

That’s the key, to “look busy.” If you finish your work, dont’ twiddle your thumbs, write an email to your spouse or girlfriend, or blog — anything to appear busy.

Man I can relate to this. I like to work when I am at work and to have something to keep busy with. I probably would be considered the model employee.

However, I got into some bad blood with coworkers, since to the office it didn’t appear that I was busy enough. I would be printing off audits and looking for charges that didn’t process. However, this required some waiting for the report to come up (usually 30 secs to a min) then print off the report and move on to the next one.

However, to the office I guess my hands weren’t moving enough to seem like I was really busy. Yet if I wanted to goof off and blog or something I actuall would seem to be busy. My mother even told me that its something you learn to do at work, is to look busy. Not that you are busy but its more important to look busy.
