Our hero is at an impasse. To go the straight and narrow high road, with long and unforgiving hours, knowing full well there will be no gain; or to go the road all too often traveled and have the easy life, waiting until the unpleasant results to catch up to him. There is no win in this situation for our hero, merely deciding which skyscraper to jump from.
Essentially, our hero has been told that, while he is not fired, he has been placed on a hold status. Since he has arranged it so he only has to punch in for work once, in the morning, the rest of his time is essentially open. Being used to not needing anyone to make sure that his work is done, his work day essentially ends in the first two hours.
He could spend the rest of his days at the coffee house, hitting on the mildly attractive waitress, until his boss walks in and fires him. He could spend the rest of his day trapped in his office doing countless hours of pointless and stressful work, not getting anywhere, but not taking the chances of getting fired. The job pays just well enough to afford our hero his bills and a little weekend fun, most of the benefits are amazing, and he can stand most of his co-workers. The work itself isn't bad, but the alternate tasks given to him while on hold status suck, and the waitress just gets more attractive every day.
Today is his grace period which to decide. Sexy waitress, or mind numbing temporary work until his sweet job returns?

HAVE SEX WITH THE WAITRESS. Take naked pictures of her from all angles, and post them here.

Why don't you lie down on some railroad tracks?
You should die for NOT responding to my questions to your shaky dumbass several months ago.

Mother always advised me to get the next job before I let go of the last one. Maybe a lot depends on if you have a family to support.
Since the world is already hell in a handbasket, I intend on chasing my dream of building a Hobbit house in the deepwoods and eating more peaches.
Good luck.

I'd say if you've got that, you're ahead of most office workers and stick with it, but if you have a sweet job guaranteed, then fuckit, go drink coffee.

oh, hey steak.
how's being a wierdo working out for you?
---------------------------------------------------------------
I'd say it's working well enough to keep me entertained.
Did I ever tell you that when I read your name, I think of storms? What?

that really IS all one can ask for. today my boss asked why i acted like such an arrogant bastard sometimes. i told her it was mostly due to the fact that it amused me greatly. (the other part is because i really do love myself that much.) she understood.

Don't be a dumbass...go see the waitress during your lunchbreak and endure the mind-numbingness. No one WANTS to go to work; even if they enjoy their job/career, it is still bothersome for most to have to wake up every day and deal with the corporate world.
Think of your future and don't be a slacker...and definitely don't give The Man any reason to fire you.
