Or, are you just mouthing off in contempt like most on this forum?
Merriam-Webster.com did it for me:

Main Entry: 1 stu·pid
Pronunciation: \ˈstü-pəd, ˈstyü-\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle French stupide, from Latin stupidus, from stupēre to be numb, be astonished — more at type
Date: 1541
1 a: slow of mind : obtuse b: given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner c: lacking intelligence or reason : brutish
2: dulled in feeling or sensation : torpid <still stupid from the sedative>
3: marked by or resulting from unreasoned thinking or acting : senseless <a stupid decision>
4 a: lacking interest or point <a stupid event> b: vexatious, exasperating <the stupid car won't start>



1b pretty much defines working when you don't have to.

Although, I'm a bit partial to 4a. Good definition of your post.
