'Working without enthusiasm is the best we've been able to come up with'
4.00PM 26 January 2012
As the British Medical Association draws up plans for industrial action
over pension reforms it remains far from clear exactly what form this
action should take.
A BMA representative says: 'Working without enthusiasm is the best we’ve been able to come up with. Forget banner-waving and looting Asda, we’ve decided that the best thing we can do to send the government a clear and consistent message is to behave in exactly the same way that you do every Monday morning.'
'Refuse to smile, sign scripts really slowly with a pencil, tut at patients when they ask for a sick line because their knee is a bit tingly and just let those forms for disability living allowance gather dust in the depths of your pigeon hole. In fact we suggest that you do what every member of the working British public does on a Monday morning and Friday afternoon.'
In order to get some feedback about working without enthusiasm, which is a concept unheard of in the medical profession, the BMA consulted Julie who works part time at the Croydon branch of Topshop.
Julie won the Working Without Enthusiasm award for three years in a row and last year she spent half of her shift smoking fags out the back which is a branch record.
Julie says: 'Working without enthusiasm is really very simple if you get the basics right. First of all, you need a slack expression ... like this ... then you need to chew gum like it’s going out of fashion and then you need to perfect the art of wrinkling up your nose in disbelief if anyone asks you to do anything.
'The next step is to develop an overwhelming addiction to Facebook, and show more interest in Katy Perry than kidney cancer. That last one might be difficult for doctors but it’s amazing what you can do if you just apply yourself.'
We also tried to contact the Professor of Procrastination studies for his views, but he replied: 'I’m out for lunch, call me back sometime.'
