ORKING STIFFS

Finally the clock strikes 5, you clock out and grab your stuff...head to your car, key turns and you're 10 miles away from the life you work for...Traffic is light thank goodness no train on the tracks, and it's not raining.  

Park in the drive, collect the bills from the mailbox, key in the door the cat wraps around your feet... head  to the fridge, a cool drink, plop in your easy chair...

Head back feet up mentally  review the day...take a deep breath..

Feed the cat...

Shower is done, dinner is made and eaten in your chair in front of the tube.  You wake up about 11  set the clock for 6 AM, crawl into bed..

Snoring....cat cuddles against your back and the moon is out. 

Eight hours of daylight spent working a job, hopefully it's something you enjoy or at least around people you enjoy being around...your reward for those 8 hrs is a wage it may or may not cover the cost of a decent home life.  

A roof over your head, some comforts under that roof, some decent food to eat and place of peace to refresh your spirit. 

6 AM alarm goes off, 

Coffee, shower, breakfast, feed the cat, dress, key in ignition, traffic is light pull into the parking area, clock in....

Watch the clock till 5...

I hope you like your new job.
