        I have been sitting here, deliberately not posting, just to prove how lazy I am. Unfortunately, no one seems to have got the joke. So I thought that if I explain it might be funnier. It's got to be at least as funny as an empty post.

            I'm not a lazy programmer but I'm extremely lazy when it comes to doing things I don't like to do. Like: documentation, accounts, housework, getting up in the morning, finishing projects, etc., etc., etc.

              Whenever I have a supervisor the number one criticism I get is that I work too fast. I would rather finish a task immediately than to wait. I pay all of my bills the day I get them and not the day they are due. Personally, I find it to be a great stress reliever as nothing ever comes up that blows my schedule. Btw, the number 2 criticism I get is that I won't work late on Friday for something a manager told me about at the last second. Number 3 is that I am an absolute A-hole. But everyone here already knew that.

              Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

                Dumb-lazy will become indispensable because they are the only one who is able to produce reports. Smart-lazy will be looking for a new job because the secretary can produce their own reports with the neat tool that smart-lazy made for them. Sad, but true.

                Yes, but smart-lazy is now doing something interesting and the secretary remembers the great service that was provided. Dumb-lazy is stuck in a dead-end mindless job.

                  Well, if you think spending months looking for a new job in this economy is "interesting" then yeah. And smart-lazy isn't ever going to see the secretary again, so who cares if they remember. Dumb-lazy may be in a dead-end mindless job, but they are getting paid.

                      They both mean the same thing. You just rearranged the sentence the second time. :-D

                            I would answer you but I just don't have the energy.... :-)
