A Case of the Mondays


So I get into the office this morning and I have to emails waiting for me from the managing directors.

The first subject reads: Saturday, June 7th - Continued Education Training 8:30am - 1:00pm.

I immediately begin thinking of Office Space, thinking:
"They're gonna have me, the un-paid intern, come in on Saturday, I just know it...And I'm gonna end up doing it, cuz I'm a big PUSSY."

Then Lawrence's character comes into my head saying:
"Well you can get out of that easy. Duck out early, turn off your answering machine, and you should be home-free."

A sense of relief engulfs my body. As if my computer is taking forever to shut down, and I get caught ducking out of the office at the last second by Lumberg,

I open the next email: Friday, June 6th - Team Drinks - Show the intern a Good Time 6:00-8:00pm.

FUCK... I know it will be frowned upon to no-show after such a "bonding experience."

Damn it. I will be working six days this week for a paycheck of a grand total of: -$184.75 (1.5 tanks of gas & 6 lunches)

I do have a case of the Mondays.
