Philosophy according to Jim

So - the boss comes up to me at 6:15 this morning and says to me, "You need to come in earlier..."

You have got to be fucking kidding me, right?

I get to work every day before 6am. They still have the packages rolling down the conveyor belts and my route will probably be resequenced at least 3 times before 6:45, so why bother, eh?

Therefore, I politely inform the boss of this, and ask him what his reasoning and logic is behind his request.

"It's good work ethic...

(Wait - is this schmuck trying to lecture me about work ethic?!?)

...it's the early bird that gets the worm!"

"Maybe so," I retort, "but it's the 2nd mouse that gets the cheese."




Yeah... the boss got a look on his face as if I had just informed him that I had just sodomized his cat... and HE WALKED AWAY!!!!

Even better - he didn't call to harass me once all day!



Gee - maybe I need to be philosophical more often...
