Damn Alarm Clock!

There is a buzzing. A loud buzzing. It's near by and annoying. You must make the buzzing stop. Why won't the buzzing stop?! You hate the buzzing. You must kill the buzzing!

You roll over and smack the alarm clock. The buzzing continues. You try again, this time your aim is much improved. The satisfying crunch of plastic has certainly shortened the life of the clock, but at least the buzzing has stopped.

You roll back into a sitting position. It slowly dawns on you; you are Jason Brown. Your friends call you Jericho. You are balding and over weight and perpetually broke. It's a bright and warm Monday morning. Ugh!

You have a job but you have always hated work. You are a lazy bum who would rather do just about anything over an honest day's work. There have been times in your life where you have worked very hard to avoid going to work. Oh, yeah, you aren't too bright some times.

Stephanie, your wife, is already up and around. You can hear her playing with the cats in the other room. She is much more of a morning person than you will ever be. Half the reason that you actually go to work is that you love your wife and you don't want to disappoint her.

But, hey, you are comfortable in bed. You have been working pretty hard recently, maybe it's time to take a break. Take some time to stop and smell the roses. What do you do?

Go to work?

Call in sick?
