Working for a living
This is going to be a dumb post. The only reason I am posting right now is so that I do not log onto work via my VPN. You see, I am working 20 hours per week. I mean, I'm getting paid for 20 hours per week. Yesterday was my day to actually drive to the workplace, and I worked 9 hours, which means I only have 11 hours to go spread out over the next 4 days. Sweet, right? The problem with having this here laptop and being just a few clicks away from remote desktopping to my wondrous workplace is that I have MENTAL PROBLEMS that prevent me from shutting the stupid thing off. I'm not necessarily doing super productive crap in excess of 20 hours, but I am always checking my e-mail to see if someone has a question or if a new project popped up that I should help with or if something I am managing has exploded while I was off handling someone's feces. I need to shut the stupid thing off. I am deeply unwell. I have fantasized about my (hilarious) resignation letter since about 3 months after I started this job in July 2001, so it's not like I just miss the place and love the work so much that I can't tear myself away. I just have this genetic mutation that wrecks shop on my best laid plans to be a bit of a slacker. Blast! I think I am going to go find myself a table saw and see if I can rid myself of a few fingers. I still have some insurance policy with the word "dismemberment" in it, so it really might be my best option.

KNOCK IT OFF. WORK IS FOR SUCKERS. ESPECIALLY YOUR WORK. YOU KNOW THIS.
Seriously, dude.
Thanks Dee Gee. I need to get together with all you expatriates so you can beat the hell out of me.
Dude, read the fine print. The dismemberment clause only applies to hands, eyes, feet, and other big parts. It doesn't pay out for fingers. Go for the foot. You can learn to use a prosthesis in no time.
I like my companions fully-appendaged.
Please just take a nap instead.
Big K -
I like how you refer to me as one of your "companions" like I am simply a member of your harem, rather than the she-wolf that had contractions for SIX DAYS before giving birth to your kid!
And I took a nap yesterday, you big clown.
Kisses,
Wife
