My laundry is in the dryer. It should be done by 7:15am. I have exactly 38 minutes to drink coffee and read various Internet sites. Then, in the shower I go. This way, I should be out the door by 7:30 (or 7:45 at the very latest). That should get me to work between 8:00am and 8:30am, depending on traffic. If traffic is real bad, I’ll be late.
I’m a good little cog. I get to work on time and accomplish nothing, and that is all my employer asks of me.
