What They Don't Tell You in School

Let's take a look at my day. I know you're excited:

8:45 - wake up
8:45-8:50 - run around frantically getting ready.
8:50-9:30 - run across the street to bum a ride from the guys, they don't answer, so I have to haul butt to the bus stop, wait for the bus, get on the buss, get off the bus, walk to the office.
9:30 - sneak past MyBoss so he doesn't notice my late arrival
9:35-9:50 - shoot the breeze with GoteeBoy, OfficeNeighbor, and MyBoss
9:50-10:00 - watch the boys shoot hoops in the lab in preparation for our 10 at 10
10:00-10:30 - participate in the 10 at 10 for 20 minutes
10:30-12:00 - work (you'll notice this is the first time this word has been mentioned)
12:00-12:30 - put a new battery in my car
12:30-1:30 - lunch at the mall, where MyBoss announces he is planning on telling us to go home at 3.
1:30-2:30 - work
2:30 - in anticipation of getting off at 3 the guys decide to play a game of Unreal Tournament.
2:45-3:30- try to get Unreal installed on a different machine, since I hosed mine on Wednesday. Spend the vast majority of that time being annoyed that it isn't going faster.
3:30 - MyBoss pokes his head in my office: "Go home." He orders. "And, have a good weekend." "Thanks, I'll see you Tuesday."

To recap, that gives us a total of 2 1/2 hours of actual work today. Dang, I love my job!
