Default I hate work

It is so nice outside right now and I am stuck inside working

I bought my car at the end of October and I have not had a chance to take the top off. I just want to run out of here remove that top and drive 'til I run out of gas.

I totally understand. I use to feel the same way when I worked. I would look outwit the window at my car sitting there begging me to come play. It stunk! Hopefully you are able to remove the top at enjoy it on your lunch break

So what are you waiting for!?

I remember opening day 2012. I left work an hour early and booked it doing 75 all the way home. It's like Christmas Day as a kid all over again. Distance really does make the heart grow fonder.

Work in general sucks.


Where did a 5 day work week originate from anyways? Why not a 4 day work week?

Hell, some people get paid for not working at all. They are called DEMOCRATIC VOTERS, most often found sitting on their azz in the ghetto or cashing their welfare checks.

I totally understand!!! It was 71 in VA Beach today. Fortunitely, I work nights so I was able to get up, see the beautiful weather and get the top off in time before I went to work! If the temp didn't drop too much, I was almost going to take the motorcycle! But the ride was nice as can be! Bought mine in December and was the first time for me with the top off!!! IYAOYAS
