“I can’t get out of here!” Elmo screamed.
He had been stuck in front of a computer for the last eight hours and no end was in sight. It was a weekend, for God sakes!
Elmo longed to be in front of the T.V., watching his Packers beat up on the Lions, with a beer in hand and a pizza in his lap.
He was even more depressed by the fact he would not be able to enjoy today’s highs in the 50s. Tuesday, his day off, held the chance for rain and lows in the mid-30s and highs barely reaching 50.
Just then Elmo’s boss walked by and said, “Get back to work, dammit!”
