Late again

If I wasn't on salary, I swear I'd be rich off the overtime I work. Here it is almost 6pm and I'm just working away like I was born to do it. I'm telling you, this has got to stop. Working is one thing, but being here after closing...well, that's just unacceptable.

You see, I have this corporate client (whom I love), but the girl that schedules the travel is two time zones earlier. So therefore, when it is 5 p.m. here, they are just getting their after-lunch second wind. So here comes all the travel requests. It's like, who let the people out of their cubicles? And why aren't they this productive in the morning?

Don't get me wrong, I'm one of those nerdy people who actually like their jobs. But I like going home and sitting on the couch a little bit more. And this overtime crap is seriously encroaching on my ME time.

So now I'm out of here. Off to enjoy a little R&R. Maybe do a little fancy and hit the casino for my free $20 birthday money. Ahhhhh. How I do love my freebies....

(In case you didn't catch that subtle hint - it is my birthday next Wednesday. There has got to be some kind of consolation for turning 32...a heavily loaded gift card, mayhaps?)

Later, ya'll.
