Cleverly Lazy
That is how some characters really are
I once had a colleague. She looked fair and cool. She had all the great qualities of a wonderful person on first impression.
“What a graceful, pleasant soul”, you would say. But that was only appearancewise.
When, however, the nitty-gritty of doing what you were being paid for, comes: you would see a contrasting figure, personality and character — all in one.
She would be anything but pleasant.
Even for a little, light object closest to her: she would prefer someone who would get it for her. You would only but wonder, what a character.
As if that was not enough, if there were any responsibilities that required her 100% approval, execution or attention; she must look for all the excuses in this world to make sure they were delayed.
Once upon a day, there was a certain visiting supervisory body which required that everyone must submit their compulsory individual report. That was how I concluded that what she did was a rather ‘cleverly lazy’ job.
She smiled and laughed off the oxymoron. Did that make her to change her attitude? No, not at all.
