I never did it, but I'd see the people "working" ten hour days ... and the last couple of hours were spent not working.

Yeah, fact is, if you're not overloaded to begin with, a lot of days there just isn't 10 hours of stuff that needs to be done before you go home. And if you're not on deadline, you're running out of steam by that point.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My BIL works 4-10. And, since his workplace changes between two different locations, sometimes his commute can take 60-75 minutes each way on top of the 10 hour workday.

We do have summer hours which can be either a 4-10 or a 5/4/9 or some variation. The twins who sit next to me work 9 hours each day and then only do a half day on Friday mornings, that way they're home by noon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys! Here's a recipe for two cupcakes: [link] I know what I'm doing tonight....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Firing up a whole conventional oven for two cupcakes is a crime against the environment. You should make the mug cake instead.

I'll make them in the toaster oven! Does the mug cake call for ingredients I don't already have? I think it does.

Oh yeah, it's chocolate, right? Could I just skip that part?

Because books.

I thought the mug cake was Nutella.

How can you not want a Nutella cake? What's wrong with you, you freak?

OMG, I can't believe I want another Cardio Cooler smoothie. My cravings are getting out of control. I just had one yesterday.

It looks like the original is chocolate (cocoa + chips), but I did google up some vanilla recipes.

I don't need to start buying Nutella! Or having it in my house. And I heart yellow cake.
