Well, here it is...Friday. I am at work, I have absolutely no work to do, and I have to be here until three o'clock. I am getting paid overtime for this, however, so I shouldn't complain. I'm gonna make about $170 today, and all I gotta do is sit here with my thumb in my butt. Whee!

We're having our company Christmas luncheon today, and we all get an hour-and-a-half of "down time" - paid non-productive time. That would be AWESOME if I weren't already getting paid for doing nothing. Hmm...free grub, though...

I got into a brief discussion with another guy that works here while I was in the bathroom when, in passing, I asked how he was doing today:

He said, "It's Friday, so there's a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel."

Without thinking, I responded, "Yeah, but the problem is that, right when you get to the middle of that tunnel, somebody picks it up and reverses it, so you always emerge from the same end, and you gotta go back through."

He looked all sad, and said, "Yeah...," followed shortly by another "Yeah..."

I didn't have the heart to also tell him that, so far today, the company has paid me forty-three bucks to drink a big mug of coffee and use the bathroom.
