Transcript of a really bad day:

7:00am Get in early so I can leave early.
7:00am-8:00am Slack, right out in the open, because nobody else is in the office yet. Check hotmail. Get coffee.
8:00am-8:05am Open AutoCAD. Draw a few lines.
8:05am-10:00am Check all the usual websites. CNN. Tomato Nation. Delphi Forums. New hotmail yet?
10:01am Write to Liz and Lori about how much this job sucks and why isn’t it time to go yet?
10:03am-11:30am Intermittently stare blankly at screen and draw some more stuff.
11:36am Start thinking about lunch. Start thinking about “working” through lunch to leave even earlier. Realize leaving at four would be unacceptable and possibly result in getting canned.
11:45am Is that really such a bad thing?
11:47am Stop that!
11:48am OhDearGodisitlunchYET?!?!?
11:52am Okay, how about now…..crap.
11:57am Close enough, dangit!
12:00pm-1:15ish-pm Lunch. Ahhhh. Sanctioned Slacking.
1:15pm Write to Liz and Lori about how I’m tired of working for Boss Man to pay off his BMW and he needs to bite me.
1:16pm-3:00pm Intermittently stare blankly at screen and draw some more stuff. Try to focus on doing more of the latter.
3:00pm-4:37pm some work in there somewhere, I suppose. Hotmail?
4:55pm Al…most….there….close enough! GO!GO!GO!

Just imagine how bad it is on the days where I have to stay until 6.
