My previous job I used to get up at 4 a.m to be at work at 5:30 a.m. every day.
I used to be on that schedule when I worked for Starbucks, but the fact that I could have 6 shots of espresso on ice as soon as I got there eased the pain a little.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
All of the pending work I had to finish up this morning is already done, which is good, but now I have to find a way to fill up the next 7.5 hours, and I don't have nearly enough worksafe fic with me.

Pneumatic tubes transporting people via individual pods, operating on Internet based protocols is, as has been shown, the best solution. This will give people their freedom and space; reduce pollution, both chemical and noise; end costly, stressful, and unproductive traffic jams; increase safety; decrease dependence on foreign oil; and, most importantly, usher in the future that technology has been promising us.
It's a dystopia movie waiting to happen.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
My previous job I used to get up at 4 a.m to be at work at 5:30 a.m. every day.
I spent a summer in college having to be at work by 5 a.m., but the reality was that I would tend to greet 5 from the back end. I was in Alaska, working two jobs (hostess at Princess Hotels Restaurant and stagecrew), and taking full advantage of the fact that bars closed at 5 a.m. (and reopened at 8).
I'm endlessly suprised that I survived that summer, but now I consider it training for living in my neighborhood.

Make up a reason why you need to go to the Stanford library and go home instead!

I feel bad. I'm coughing and wheezing and sneezing and blowing my nose constantly, and it must be hell on my coworkers in the other cubicles.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I've always wondered: does Hell have good dental insurance?
No, but I bet you'd get hazard pay. I hear it's on everyone's hot list....
Lee, I hate when that happens. Can you take a long lunch and do some window shopping or the like?

I've always wondered: does Hell have good dental insurance?
Eh. It's okay.
I'll tell you what really sucked: They never turned on the air conditioners.

I've heard the ninth subbasement is pretty cold though.
