Just One of Those Days
Today has been one of those days that makes me want to quit working and move to a cabin in the remote woodlands of the far north. It seems that everything that could have gone wrong today, did go wrong. At least it's a friday, so I don't have that dread of thinking about all the stuff I would coming back to tomorrow... instead, I'll have that dread on Sunday night.
I think that on days like this, employers should be legally responsible to make sure that you go home with a smile on your face. Not only would it increase morale and office productivity, but think about the effect on the health of our working nation? I'm still spitballing this idea... and I'm not quite sure how an employer could have a policy to make an employee happy after an especially long day at work. I'm not even sure if we can quantify what makes for a long day at work.
Here's what would make me smile today...
"Why don't you just knock off at 4 today?"
"I found this fresh baked raspberry pie on a window ledge. Why don't you eat it?"
"I won this week's lottery, but $140 million is too much for me. Here you go."
I'd even settle for a chocolate bar or a really good joke.
In all seriousness, I haven't worked this hard in quite a while, and I have very little to show for it... that makes for a bad day. I think I'm going to do myself a favour and treat myself over the next few days. I'll get a poutine, drink an imported beer with every meal, and get some really warm mittens. Wow. I'm actually feeling better. So, how am I going to kill the last hour of the week now? Thinking of more treats? Methinks so.
