    My laptop goes to sleep after a short period of inactivity and this is called "energy efficiency" but when I do it, apparently, it is "laziness".

          At my previous job, if I had nothing to do, and management knew it because I'd put out repeated "I need something to do" emails, I still had to sit in my cubicle warming my chair, looking "active." :sigh:

                If you could process billions of changes in voltage every single second maybe we wouldn't call you lazy. :-\

                    Gone are the days when you could just walk around with a clipboard and pen, and everyone would think you're busy. Nowadays, you need a tablet and a Star Trek uniform.

                      It is thought that our brains do a clean up and defrag when in a sleeping state. Why can't my computer do the same?! And no, not just a memory dump. However I get the feeling that a bunch of people use this feature as the next day they seem so carefree and forgotten all the woes of the previous day.

                        That's like the day after I was informed about being laid off. I was playing solitaire when my boss walked in. I asked are you going to let me go? No questions asked.
