text: should i ask for more work? i'm currently at a job in which i don't do much!  my supervisor gives me "piddly" little tasks to complete that usually last only a few minutes.  i absolutely love getting paid to do nothing!!  but, i also feel guilty about not working.  is it my responsibility to ask for more work?  or, should my supervisor have the responsibility of keeping me busy and keep on assigning tasks for me to complete?  or, should i keep on enjoying my paid-vacation while at work?! you never know when the reference for this job will be needed...what do you want them to say about you?  also, if you took some initiative and worked on other projects, what experience will you gain that you can use in other jobs?  if you actually work, then you will have more self-respect and time will go by more quickly.
