The joys of having a job



Having a job is great! You get to work with people you would normally never be around, learn about the troubled relationships of people you don't know or care about, and work on exciting projects outside of your job description; like uploading the same pictures to the new website over and over and over again, and starting the day off by taking the periods (.) out of file names on the server. And lets not forget about starting and ending your day by sitting in traffic while its snowing, 5 degrees out, and scraping the ice off the inside of your windows.
There are a few rays of sunshine that comes from all of this though, and one of them is Tie Tuesday! Thats right.

Tie Tuesday is an honored tradition that goes back to the days of cave men, who after many failed attempts of establishing dominance or controlling the tribes fires rights, or obtaining any source of food, tied ferret pelts around their necks in order to attract women to provide for them. Coincidentally this was also the dawn of the sugar-mama.

Tie Tuesday today (figuratively speaking, not today as in Dec 8th, which just so happens to be a tuesday), has evolved to become a right of passage, a symbol of style, and way to express ones defiance and hatred of 'the man' while still conforming to the masses. Its also just something to do that helps separate tuesdays from being 'just like any other day'.

So with that, I say, Tie it up!
