And I like it…
Here’s my growing list of things that are beginning and / or ending today:

The Corporate World
This is an actual conversation I had last night with a friend who works in the corporate world...
Corporate: I'm going to have to call out sick tomorrow
Me: Oh yeah, why's that?
Corporate: Well it's after midnight and I just got home so I'd only get 6 hours of sleep
Me: (looks up at the clock that reads 11:32pm) Umm... it's only 11:30
Corporate: Yeah, but by the time I lay down, watch TV for an hour, and fall asleep I'd probably only get like 6 hours

My poor blog...
