My knees are painin'. I totally over-did it swimming in Lake Travis today. A day that is some other reality would have had me working an nine hour day with a lunch. But no, I decided to buck against my reliability, a strong personality trait, and shirk the boredom of work for the fun of play. In order to successfully elude my duties I had to implement a plan.
I would wake up fifteen minutes before I would need to go into work and immediately call so that my sleepy voice could also pass for a sick voice. Being an individual who is adverse to lying, I used my choice phrase "I'm not going to be able to make it" and when the manager responded with "You better be really sick!" I just apologized and promised to make it up for them.
The boat ride was a sunny, breezy, splashy good time. I had a drink and some shots with the best of them. The only person who wasn't drinking was the sixteen year old daughter of one of my co-worker's cousin. Said cousin also brought kush, fake weed that will not give you a positive on a drug test. I was kind of skeptical but decided to give it a try. Shit is legit. I got the numb legs and my hand were numb enough that I was unable to open a bottle of Dr. Pepper for lack of grip. The whole day could be repeated with pleasure. Totally worth the work ditch.
