when you’re at work at 4:15 on a sunny springtime friday afternoon and not a single person from your department is at their desks, it’s hard not to just grab your backpack and run like hell. so hard.

yeah, i still have something i need to show to someone before i leave once she shows her face over here again, but i am one antsy man right now. there are two guys tossing a football back and forth down the walkway right next to my desk, for god’s sake. not a nerf one, and not from their chairs. (the office is sort of warehouse-style with clumps of desks, so this is easily done). i just want to leave here and drive fast on my way home cranking some rock music. then go hear some later. then come back to my hood for a nice big party at my dear friend’s house.

and since graduation is coming up and some reader out there just may happen to be a wealthy and generous fan of collapsing, i just happen to think this would be an awfully nice addition to my living room… come on, free shipping!

[now hearing this: people dribbling basketballs. yes, we also have a full basketball court in the center of the building.]
