THE DAILY DIVERSION

Personally I call it stupidity. That's exactly why I'm sitting here at work at 12:20 on the day before Thanksgiving. I should already be on the road to Owensboro, so we could get there before it gets dark, but no.

For some crazy reason my boss believes that we should stay until 2 pm at the latest. So, we're all just kind of sitting around, playing solitaire or browsing the internet. Really, there's nothing for us to do. We know we're not staying here all day, so we're not going to start something new, but, instead of saying "Hey guys, go ahead and take off", we're here, and I'm getting more and more pissed by the minute.

To make matters worse, my boss actually left to go to lunch and said "I'm going home" to one of my co-workers. Sure, he says that all the time, and is joking about it, but today just isn't the day to do it.

So, I'll sit here and wait. Hopefully he'll come back from lunch and tell us we can leave. I doubt it, but I'm still hoping. After all, this is the same person that let everyone leave at 4:15 one day, but forgot to come down and tell me and a coworker, so we were sitting here at 5 pm, when everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, else was gone.

Now, instead of getting home around 5 pm, it'll probably be after 7 pm, and that will also be putting me in Nashville right around 5 pm, which is something I am so looking forward to.

Sad thing is, I actually like my Boss. Usually anyway.
