I walked into my cubicle this morning to hear Know-It-All Secretary
soliloquizing at a passerby on "mental health days" and how that
designation of days
off are important. "Haven't you ever taken one? They're for
your mental health." I have no idea whether she was being
sarcastic
or not but I immediately pulled out my iPod and couldn't plug up my
ears quickly enough. If there are such things as "mental health
days" I'd take one every time she was around. People waiting to
retire are worse than cube slackers like myself. When she starts
working at Wal-Mart or whatever intrusive and restless seniors do
before a home, she'll cease to be annoying and be tolerably doddering.
Somehow, the iPod knows that the Chemical Bros's "Dig Your Own Hole" is
appropriate for drowning out the constant musak of "arrogant old lady."
