Top Ten List

The Top TEN benefits of staying late at work.

1. Total quiet
   Except for the little reassuring hum of the few machines and systems that run all night
2. No phone ringing.
   Halle-freakin-lulah
3. No email buzzing.
   Glory Be to the Goddess
4. No IM popping
   Can it be I'm really alone??
5. Time to GET SHIT DONE!
   When you are of the "meeting crowd" like I am - honestly, there are rarely meetings held that I'm NOT invited to - the day fills too quickly
6. Guilt-free internet browsing
   Did you know West Side Story opens on Broadway on Feb 23? Gotta go!
7. Guilt-free blogging
   Like, Right Now Dude.
8. Did I mention quiet?
   You don't even realize how much you are bombarded with noise until it is suddenly gone.
9. Vending machine food
   And the ability to justify eating it because it's late and the only source of food.
10. No (less?) traffic for the ride home.
    If only they didn't close the bridge to one lane for overnight construction...sigh.
