I arrive earlier than the boss....key for a fast-track to the bourgeoisie...
I address the day like so many others in Anywhere, USA...
I've got my to-do lists...
It is the swamp of American Life. The lure of the white-collar world. It is the binary code of the daily grind...
I've got my work-related qualms, my issues...
I've got my bosses issues, my good days and my bad visitors...
And I talk around the water cooler. I am convinced that if you jiggle your mouse your computer will go faster. Making widgets, one by one, day by day, until that elusive Friday whistle blows.
Each day topics of "shareholder value" and "on time & under budget" make as much sense as "SDE Versioning" and "spatial analysis." (In your best public speaking voice) "Poor performance? Office politics? Let he who leaves early suffer dearly the supervisory wrath. May project review meetings be thy fate. "
Aaaaahh the jelly donut of corporate America....

And what about those people wearing silly gloves and taking pictures while "pretending to work"? What would the Cash man have to say about that?
Hey man, it's all a day in the life. I won't tell my documentary camera crew that you think I'm doing this all on my own.
