After working in a Sterilisation Department for over a year in Perth, Western Australia, a colleague and myself invented a word for the new millenium, that word is Fluffanator. A Fluffantor was invented after careful analysis of other work colleagues going about their work. Our job is to clean, sort, wrap and sterilise surgical instrument trays. That is our job title it would seem, but not all have such a strong work ethic. A Fluffanator is a preoccupied person who does not complete one given task, but rather fluffanate (float, fluff) around doing many tasks, often meaningless tasks... The problem is no task gets completed, its form of laziness on their part. But they do not see it that way, they conceively make you believe they actually busy when really they are not. Good examples of a fluffanator is as follows:

1. A particular instrument maybe missing from a tray, our job is to either leave to one side or search for that particular instrument in a main storage area. A fluffantor could be gone for up to an hour or more pretending to look for that instrument but instead they have gone out for a cigarette or analysis their roster for any given time.

2. Another example of a fluffanator is to get on the good side of their fellow colleagues by asking if they would like water? Not important to the job, but a Fluffanator believes staff morale is a priority. They usually the ones they let u go early as they realise by now they have Fluffanted all resources, in other words fluffed around so much they know they not complete any task. To expand on the word Fluffantor I have provided the following words:

Fluffanator as you know it is the noun for someone who loves to float around doing nothing but unworkrelated tasks.

Fluffanating: To fluffanate, the act of doing it.

Fluffanated: When another work colleague becomes fluffanated or frustrated with the fluffanator who is fluffanating

and last but not least...................................................................................

Fluffanators, Yes that's right, from careful analysis I have discovered there can be more than one fluffanator believe it or not, they often work in pairs to achieve the ultimate goal and that is of course fluffanating, very similar to procrastinating.
