Whereupon HedgeTrimmer realises the error of a nations actions

It occurs to me today that there is something a little perverse about the way in which i have constructed my work ethic over the years.

You see I have always been the first to anally follow the regimented rules and regulations of working life and lunch hours, only to on a daily basis, invade the sanctuary of my private life by working well beyond the boundaries my paymasters impinge........ for free.

Now that, you may say, is simply the British way and I should be commended for upholding the culture we all cling on to so dearly and deperately. Put me up there with Winston Churchill and the Unknown Soldier.

But why on this green earth do i then feel guilty (having quit my job) for leaving work on time despite having had nothing to do all day. My only current purpose is to serve as a human comfort blanket to my peers who are deliriously happy to pay my over inflated wage demands in order for me to read the entire internet and stare out of the window.

It would make more sense to pay me to do volunteer work for a week and be on the end of a mobile phone. This is the equivalent of being neutered. Thats it!!! I have been neutered by my employer in order to somehow feed the company ego and the notion that it owns me. Meanwhile I am still perspiring over the concept of an early finish despite that fact that for months I have worked the equivalent of a 6 day week over 5 days.

Is it perverse of me to wonder how this country can breed a workforce with the same moral dilemma as myself in general, while at the same time breeding the plethora of scum sucking work dodgers who are paid to live next door to me and have barbeques while i sweat for the greater good?

The solution?? to take a more continental stance (a la Sweden and Switzerland).....all leave work on time and admit that actually the 3million unemployed in this country do have a job its just..... shock horror I am doing it and not just for free.... I am paying the government for the pleasure

In writing this I have just worked out how to fill the void of the next work idle days... I am going to write the manifesto for my new state and work out how I go about annexing the Isle of Mull
