Just in case you ever get these two environments mixed up, This should make things a little bit clearer: @ PRISON You spend most of your time in a 10X10 cell @ WORK You spend most of your time in an 6X6 cubicle @ PRISON You get three meals a day, fully paid for @ WORK You get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it @ PRISON For good behavior, you get time off @ WORK For good behavior, you get more work @ PRISON The guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you @ WORK You must carry a security card and open all the doors yourself @ PRISON You can watch TV and play games @ WORK You could get fired for watching TV and playing games @ PRISON You get your own toilet @ WORK You have to share the toilet with people who pee on the seat @ PRISON They allow your family and friends to visit @ WORK You aren't even supposed to speak to your family @ PRISON All expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required @ WORK You must pay all your expenses to go to work, and they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners @ PRISON You spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out @ WORK You spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars @ PRISON You must deal with sadistic wardens (I'll drink to that) @ WORK They're called "managers" THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS SCENARIO. Now get back to work. You're not getting paid to read threads.
