Me: So, how's summer been so far?
Her: Pretty good!
Me: What have you been doing?
Her: Well, at first I did nothing. Just hung out with my friends'n'stuff. And it was awesome. And then I started working for my dad.
Me: Oh! How's that been?
Her: It's been okay. I mean, I like the job alright. It's pretty cool. Except...
Me: ...?
Her: ...well, I started off working 8 hours a day and HOLY CRAP those days get so LONG!
Me (immediately depressed): Yeah.
Her: I mean to think of doing that EVERY DAY. DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY. For eight HOURS. In one PLACE!
Me (weakly): Yeah...
Her: I'm sure it gets easier though. Right?
Me: Uh...right...(afterdayafterdayafterdayafterDAY)

Haha. Oh yes. You know it's bad when you start looking for excuses to go to the bathroom or get water. Boring days at work are good for my hydration.
bahah seriously,
i second that bathroom excuse notion.
because at a full time job...
the bathroom suddenly becomes your SANCTUARY.
Lauren--Ha! TOTALLY.
Rachel--Santuary=the perfect word.
You don't know how I struggle with the day after day after day after freaking stupid project deadline after another. I sometimes fool myself and say, today will be amazing and a completely different job than yesterday. Here's a hot chai tea latte because today is special. I live for 6 p.m. (because that's usually when I'm leaving work), yoga, and the weekends!
