Different types of activity generate more or less of this kind of entropy.

The [[Jolly Contrarian]]’s [[second law of worker entropy]] states that [[confusion entropy]] will eventually lead to the [[boredom heat death]] of the universe. There is no formula for when or where this might happen because at that moment the [[Jolly Contrarian]] was trying to make one up he was suddenly buttonholed by an officious [[management consultant]] on an all hands conference call and asked for some [[KPI]]s. He pretended to be having [[Skype trouble]]. | |||
