Wow. Look at that face. The amount of joy shown on that face is exactly proportional to the amount of joy I feel whenever I walk into a surprise party that someone has thrown for me. Also, whenever I open a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos.

I have eleven minutes left at work, and I am eating the crumbs from a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos Lynn left for Mancub and I (Mancub is my boss) and writing in my blog.

Shouldn't you be working? someone might ask

Uh, hello. No. You don't have to actually work for the last 15 minutes of work. Here are the times you don't have to work:

1) The first 30 minutes of the day.

2) Whenever you have to go to the bathroom, and the 3-4 minutes before and after (when you talk to your co-workers on your way to and from).

3) During your lunch break (approx. 30 minutes) as well as sthe 15 minutes before lunch and the 15 minutes after

4) When someone sends you a funny e-card, or email (approx. 15 minutes: 0-1 to download, 2-3 to read to yourself, 5-7 to recruit co-workers to watch it with you, 4-5 to discuss it after watching it)

5) When Mancub brings pictures of himself as a college kid into work for everyone's enjoyment (Then you are laughing too hard to work.)

6) When you are eating Cool Ranch Doritos (or any other snack, for that matter)

7) When you are tired

8) When you don't want to

9) When you are blogging

10) The last 15 minutes of the day

See? Right now, since #6, #8 AND #10 are all true, there is no way that I should have to work. Excellent. It's too bad not everyone knows these rules. See? That's why my blog is so important for everyone to read.

Ah, changing the world, one post at a time.

Thank you.

I realize that a little healthy competition is healthy but this is ridiculous. I need to let you know that should I have received honorable mention on your blog instead of mancub I might be more inclined to leave a wonderfully complimentary review of your kelly v. nicole blog.
Alas, I wait in the back room (next to mancub's office) and cry silently.
Oh yeah, Merry Christmas.
