Would I Do It Again....Does A Bear Shit In The Woods?

As I said yesterday working from home was a phenomenal experience. I wanted to go into detail of how phenomenal it actually was.

First, there's no commute. Unless you count the steps you and your morning wood take to the bathroom to relieve yourself, there's no N Train.

Or as I sometime call it, The Third World Express. That's right, there's no sneezing, coughing, disgusting aliens to deal with at 8am.

There's no "delay of service" or "there's a red signal ahead, we will be moving momentarily" to worry about.

Second, the attire is totally up to you. I chose casual. Real casual.
Good old-fashioned boxers. American made in Taiwan, comfortable as a mutha and very fashionable indoors.

I also went nude for an extended period of time because well, I can do that.

Third, food. If you've never been to El Padrino's Cafe your missing out. The food is excellent.
Even the leftover's are a king's meal.
Canned soup? Non-sense. Pot-Pie? Don't get slapped.

I'm talking leftover chicken parm, a Boboli pizza prepared by the chef himself, prosciutto balls from Pastosa and some Italian olives. Bueno!

No to mention the snacks...and they are all FREE!!!!!

I also have to mention that I snuck a beer in there too. I had to. As I'm approving payments of over a half a billion dollars I'm swigging on a Sam Adams. Life is good.

Fourth, co-workers. No more gollum. Who if I haven't mentioned in the past, I sit next to a guy who looks like the Gollum from Lord Of The Rings. You know, the little creepy gnome that snatches shit from everyone. Identical. And he's fairly annoying. And he's Polish. So that's like a tri-fecta of characteristics that makes me not want to sit next to you for 50 hours a week.

Fifth, downtime. I'm no smoker so I don't get to go outside my building 47 times a day to inject poisons in my lungs like some lucky folks. So my downtime includes perusing the net or walking outside for 20 minutes or so. But when your home who wants to peruse the net when you can just watch the Price is Right (Barker is still alive!). Like I mentioned in yesterday's comment thread during the course of two days while "working" at home I fell upon some movies that happen to be on cable. Good one's too. Cape Fear, Friday Night Lights, Austin Powers, Die Hard, Batman Begins, and Lucky Number Slevin.

And of course Madden 2006 was played. Over and over agian.

Today I'm back at my miserable office. Confined to this silly thing called a "cubicle".
Sitting next to a real life gollum, getting harassed by anyone and everyone expecting me to "work". It's like the first day back from vacation, cept I ain't got no tan. It's sad. Really.

I tell everyone to consider themselves lucky that I'm wearing pants today.
