Is there another word for it??

Alright folks.. where we go.  A few more mediocrity q's for you:

 

1)  You go to work, you perform the tasks that are expected of you, then you spend the rest of the time reading articles from MSN.  Mediocre employee or??

2)  You get up in the morning, you get your dependants ready, decide that you don't want to cook breakfast so you head for the nearest drive through.  Mediocre parenting or ??

3)  You start a project, you get about half way through and get bored with it though you know that the person who you intended to be the "project" recipient would be thrilled should they receive said "project".  Mediocre project do'er or ??

 

:)  I will try to phrase these differently on occasion but I need to get them all out there... they just brew in the nogen all day. 

 

Thanks!!!

a vote?

So I think a bar of what folks think of as mediocre is important to establish.

Please chime in if you think you want to:

Is it mediocre to stay at your significant others house for five days a week and not pay for anything except the occasional grocery run?

 

Is it mediocre to get four F's and two A's in school?

 

Is it mediocre to only clean one of three bathrooms per weekend?
