Get to work at 6:55...

Log in, set up conference room, set handy agendas at each chair, lovingly place sign-in sheet at the office door on top of our high-tech, Height Adjustable Mobile Dictation Station/Padded Buttocks Levitation Device (aka my drafting stool, which I roll out to the door for people to use as a desk), start meeting at 7:30, furiously scribble notes to capture the blab spoken by eleven committee members, nine staff members, and nineteen applicants each speaking simultaneously for an hour and a half, clean up the snowstorm of paper after it's over, retrieve my sign-in sheet, wheel my chair back to my orifice, and now at 9:22, I'd say it's time to go downstairs and purchase a beverage!

Complaining? Not at all--having done my time as a punch press operator in a steel fab shop and pulling a wooden concrete screed for a roadway contractor--I am quite sure that although there may be better ways to earn a buck, there are about a billion others that are a whole lot harder!

I'm still going to go get me a Coke, though.
