I have been at work 2 hours already today . . . but it's Friday.
I already had 35 hours for the week before I set foot on this cr-ppy Lenox campus. I will be done for the week when I go to lunch today. I think I will go to Sam's and Costco before hitting the links today. Y'all have a great weekend!

Increasing disrespect toward workers
