I worked hard today, as per usual, building huge trusses for a construction company--just a crap job until the bigger, better one comes along. Anyway, I have a couple of nineteen year-old kids working with me--ahem! Did I say 'working'? Laws, no. They goof off constantly, mope around, loaf, stare at their phones--anything to keep from doing their job. Absolutely NO work ethic. I tell ya, these kids today...they make me afraid for the future. I know I should yell at em, make em get their butts in gear, but...screws that! I ain't their supervisor, I don't get paid to do my job and babysit them. And besides, for some reason these kids just love me to death. They think I'm some kinda beatnik guru hero or something. They're actually pretty intelligent, have good vocabularies (I credit the interWebs for this, but that is another discussion), and appreciate classic rock (a rarity among today's youth), but, lord have mercy, they're lazier than sloths on smack. If the big boss would pay me a supervisor's wage, yer bugger, I'd whip em into shape. But for now, bah, let the little punks goof off. What do I care? Their loafing just makes me look better.
I dunno, just had to vent about that. As for what I'm doing tonight, well sir, I'm taking it easy. Getting mighty cozy and gonna watch something classic on the idiot box. Maybe check out the great Howard Hawks's 1955 Egyptian epic Land of the Pharaohs, starring Jack Hawkins and a very young and sexy Joan Collins. Sip a little liquor and dig some golden age Hollywood.
Just a day in the life of your friendly neighborhood water rodent.
