I still have a job, but I've completely stopped working!

I know I should probably do something. But I don't.

    Just walking in place

    For the LW, it seems that they're bored right out of their minds-start looking for another job-friends at work sometimes don't really stay friends after you've quit.

    Start by going through "similar" job listings-anything to get out of the rut you're in-because someday, someone will question your being on the payroll for any reason. Then you'll get fired, and that's not fun, either. Corporations do tend to downsize periodically.

    Just because the CEO can get a paycheck for not working does not mean you can do the same forever. They get wise to this kind of stuff, eventually. (God forbid they look on the Internet for unhappy employees posting letters to Salon advice columists!)
