Why is it that......


..... those with power often abuse that power? Here's the setup: It's a manic Monday and you sure as hell don't feel like rolling out of bed. As John Travolta would say, "What a predicament!". Indeed it is. If you're like me, at the low end of the totem pole you hit the alarm clock a few times for a few blissful minutes of snooze heaven and then come to a dreadful realization: You have no more sick days for the year so you have to get your lazy ass up for work :( . Apparently, this is not the case for those with power.

Pardon me, but I didn't know this qualified as a reason for one to work from home, "My daughter couldn't sleep last night so I want to know if I can work from home today?" WTF? Is she delusional? Apparently she is not only delusional, but one lucky, bold woman. Her request to work from home is granted. Great for her. I guess I should get a case of insomnia next Sunday and send her an e-mail to work from home. Wait.... I can't work from home. You see I wasn't given a laptop from the powers that be. A lot of my work consists of my filing confidential documents away. Wait, I've got it! I will file in my mind! This way when I return to work on Tuesday, not only will I be well rested, but I'll also be a proficient "filer", sweet! I sure want to add that skill to my resume! As the ANTM winners proudly proclaim, "This is my life, as a Covergirl!" - (can you hear the sarcasm in my voice?)
