Why Don't I Shut UP?

I'm sitting here at work (shh...don't tell anyone) and i'm literally staring at the clock trying to WILL it to move. As if I have some unearthed Jedi mind-trick up my sleeve. I don't know if its like that for you, but Fridays are downright painful on my side of the fence. The week always seems to fly by like a racoon on rollerskates. And then friday comes and the week just STANDS on the brakes. Some of you have the luxury of sitting at home all day so maybe this doesn't apply to you but what is it about a Friday that makes it drag so badly? I mean, I don't have any huge plans this weekend. I'm really not looking forward to anything except going home and doing the same thing I'm doing now...sitting on my ass and watching the grass grow.

So why is it that Friday crawl and Saturday goes by like a mofo?

Might have something to do with just coming off vacation/honeymoon...(which flew by like a mother too by the way). It might have something to do with the fact that my work does very little to inspire me. I'm sure your work fails to inspire you too. Who knows.

So I sit here watching the clock not move and I get barraged by the SPAM e-mails that are haunting the internet waiting to pounce. Enhance your member, Be a stronger lover, get your friends credit report (that one got me laughing), work from home...

Wait a minute. Work from HOME?? Now my brain begins to wonder.

Work
From
Home

Do you think that the clock goes just as slow if you work from home? Do people who work at home take cigarrette smoke breaks? Do they have to punch out for lunch? I wonder if they look over their shoulder before browsing out to spin.com on the internet like I do here.

HELL NO THEY DONT! If I worked from home I wouldn't ask permission to leave a little early. Shit, I probably wouldn't bother to get dressed before work. I'd be sitting at my desk in my spongebob boxer shorts and instead of watching the clock, i'd watch reruns of Gilligan's Island.

They'd have to measure my productivity with an Ion Microscope cause I know I'd do next to nothing. I know it...i admit it.
