Comic in 4 Panels

Panel 1: A guy faces a clock on the wall. They stand arms akimbo, with a bright expression on their face. It’s likely they aren’t wearing any clothing based on the definition of their butt cheeks. The clock is an analog clock that reads 8:25.

Guy: I’ll definitely get to work by 9 if I leave now

Panel 2: The guy turns and rests his hand on a table with a pensive look on his face. The clock now reads 8:26

Guy: But what if I…

Panel 3: The guy sits down, interlacing his hands, resting them on the table. The couch now reads 8:35

Guy: Just…

Panel 4: The guy is now starting off into space. The clock now reads 9:05.

    By God, I’m doing this a lot more as I get older. And it takes time out of my day, just staring off into space, not thinking of anything. On the plus side, I save oodles of time by not having to meditate!

    Hey, that’s almost exactly how I quit my first job! lol

    Was sitting on the edge of my bed, tie on, ready to leave. Looked at the clock, had plenty on time. Ticked a bit closer. Still time. Then the time I’d have to leave came up. Had a bit of an epiphany, called in and just said I wouldn’t be coming in and couldn’t do it anymore lol.

    I once overslept a bit, but figured if I hauled absolute ass I might just still make it on time.

    But I decided fuck that, if Im gonna oversleep I might as well be well rested so I just rolled over again.

      This is honestly the way. If you do this and then commit to going to sleep earlier it does better things for correcting your sleep cycle and hence making you better rested in the long term.

        I work shifts, so my sleep cycle is fucked six ways to sunday already. That said, I oversleep maybe once or twice every year, so when it happens I just roll with it. If I’m gonna be late I’m gonna be late, oh well.

        Compared to THOSE ASSHOLES who show up exactly five minutes late every single day, I’d say I got my shit pretty much in order.
