how work works

sorry to sound kind of dismal the other day. it had been a long day at work. working for 'the man' has it's positives and negatives (as any job probably does). in my job i have to do x number of things in y amount of time and i'm not allowed to work more than 40 hours (a positive thing in my book). well, on tuesday we had until 5pm if we wanted to get any more x things turned in. i was close, but i didn't think i would have enough time so i resigned to just turn it in wednesday. well, the boss calls and tells me to get it in by 5 and pursues to make a comment about my work rate. now i know his job is to push me along, but i'm still learning. at any rate, i got it out and while it was stressful and nerve-wracking to work non-stop all day, it was an uplifting sense of accomplishment. in sum, i guess i was just drained so i delved into the mindless creation of this website as a way of not having to think about anything else.
