Truth be told it’s a far cry from the job that you had envisioned, but it serves as a well-deserved furlough from watching re- runs in a musky tear stained bed that reeked of downtrodden self- esteem and unrelenting self-pity. By your sixth month, you have a well- established routine which involves; dragging yourself out of bed thirty (30) minutes after your pre- set alarm, rushing out of your apartment and jumping into the heart of the morning rush hour, tiptoeing pass your ogre of boss’ office in fear of him noticing that you’re an hour late, and spending the rest of your day as a prisoner of boredom, fatigue and dwindling morale.
