This is like working for a dotcom

My back has been killing me this past week­end and con­tin­ues to hurt today. So my man­ag­er sug­gest­ed that I go take some time on the mas­sage chair. Turns out we have a small room with one of these:

Now, I’ll admit that I was skep­ti­cal. And I’ll admit also that a robot­ic mas­sage is no sub­sti­tute for a human mas­sage. How­ev­er, it was damn nice to spend 20 min­utes reclin­ing while this thing worked out the kinks in my back. Even nicer to spend that time on the clock. So far I’ve done noth­ing use­ful, but have con­sumed a lot of free caf­feinat­ed bev­er­ages and sug­ary snacks. And got­ten com­pli­ments on how use­ful I’ve been.

Now I just need to find the foos­ball table and I’ll be all set back in 1998.

  1. foos­ball, ping pong, and
    foos­ball, ping pong, and pool. But my friend Ron and I play mini-disc-golf with the bas­ket I picked up this spring. Every day at 6pm we go out­side and play 6 holes. The “big cheese” in our build­ing is one of our biggest fans and is always excit­ed to see us walk­ing out with our discs and basket.

    Yes­ter­day he took a look at hole 1 and said “is that a par 5?” and I said, “No, par 3.” “The match is on!” he replied.

    I’ve been being much more cafe­ful about the free caf­feine at work. I just have some cof­fee in the morn­ing and stick to decaf the rest of the time.
