Occupational Discourse
Tuesdays are by far the worst days, correct? But, on the same token, I tend to show up to work a good 30 minutes early on Tuesdays (and Fridays, for that matter). Why? Because my internet rarely works at home and huddling over the wifi receiver on the toilet is not only annoying but also slightly embarrassing. And, it makes me out to be a real jerk.
“What’re you doing in there?” A roommate will ask.
“Oh, just internetting. Y’know?”
“Well, I need to pee.”
“Use the other bathroom?”
“Alex, seriously. I’m going to piss my pants.”
“Yeah yeah. Just gimme a minute. Video is almost over.”
And so it goes…
So on Tuesdays, the adminstrative minions smile at me no doubt thinking : “What a hardworking young man. Not even on the clock and he’s just diving in. Kudos, to him. Kudos.”
Hmm…if only they knew.
