Why Macs belong in every Office

We recently had a company meeting regarding employee tardiness.  (Guilty!)  It resulted in an agreement that we’d all be at our desks, ready to start the day at 9:00:00 AM PST sharp.  No if’s, and’s, but’s, traffic or death in the family’s about it.  9AM.  That’s the law.

And so I try my best.  But I’ve got two roommates and one bathroom in the morning.  And we all work locally, starting at 9.  So when the clock hits 7:45 it’s a war-zone.  Slicing razors, dropping bombs and battle cries–It’s every man for himself.  I’m the small guy so I always lose.

I make it to my territory at about 8:20.  That gives me 25 minutes to be walking out the door at 8:45 to make it to work by 8:58AM.  Except today, somewhere between the shampoo and the conditioner I lost 10 minutes and didn’t get into the office until 9:07.  But I was able to sneak in quietly through the office kitchen.  I make it to my desk unnoticed, steal someone’s cup of coffee and sit down and stare at my beautiful white G5.

So I shake my mouse but my screen doesn’t turn on.  I must have shut it down the night before.  Oh well, I turn it on and lean back in my seat.  9:09AM.

-DING-

My Mac purrs, announcing my nine minutes of tardiness to the world.  Alas, she was a spy all along.  I was almost in love.
