Dream Job???

 Do you like your job? Is it challenging or boring? Have you ever had one of those days at work when you actually were all caught up, and had nothing to do? You sit at your desk and think about whether you should leave early? Perhaps look for a new job?  Maybe quietly surf the net, or go chat with other staff. This may be ok for a day or two but what if you actually had nothing to do for days? What to do then?
 Well maybe you should ask Joaquin Garcia. You see, in 2010 Garcia was being awarded in Spain for 20 years of dedicated civil service, however, while preparing the award it was discovered that Joaquin had actually stopped working 14 years earlier. It seems when they went to find Garcia in his office to inform him of the award they could not find him and when they asked others from nearby offices about his whereabouts they were told no one had seen Garcia in years. It now seems that Garcia was actually meant to be fired in 1995 at which point everyone stopped monitoring him all together. So it turns out that Garcia was paid for work he didn't do for 14 years. Garcia did nothing for 14 years! He maintained that it wasn't a total waste. While he didn't work every day, like the position mandated, he said he did occupy his office occasionally passing the time reading, often about philosopher Baruch Spinoza. Exactly what most of us would do!
 So if you are bored at work with nothing to do remember, things could be worse, you could have nothing to do for years or a far worse job.
