Working 9-5
Hump Day. The middle of the week where it's not close enough to the weekend to celebrate; but too doggoned far to turn back now. I can't really enjoy the day solely because I'm still recuperating from the attack of the sinuses/allergies. I think I caught it from Britt via her blog. I can barely function at work; drowsy from medication but alert from the air conditioner, which is set at like fifty degrees - which wouldn't be terrible in the dead of summer but it's like seventy degrees outside. Damn, those frigid bastards!
With my brain going numb from cold and cold medicines, I decided to write before all of my brain cells disappeared for the day and I ended up in the corner, drooling on my slacks. Even in this condition, I still believe I could do this gig flawlessly. (My boss might beg to differ but let's keep that betweenst us.) It's not like people really have the most stringent criteria for hiring anymore...
I remember when I got my first job at the age of 15. I was working for a card store in downtown Chicago, making a scant $4.75 a hour. Yes, friends - I was officially a baller. I remember seeing my first paycheck - I was so excited to be making my own money - until I opened it. The next day, I promptly quit...
Seems like that happened quite a bit, ending with me having more positions than a 50 year old porn star. In fact, since I'm such a nice guy - I'll let you journey back with me...
