Dayworker 2: The Rejobbening

I was just trying to think of how working on-site during the day will impact my life. I made the following lists:

The negative:

1. According to my "supervisor," wearing pants at all times is mandatory. They say this is a dealbreaker.
   
2. If I get bored, I can no longer wander off and catch a movie or take a nap. Unless I pretend to remember a "doctor's appointment."
   
3. Going to bed at dawn will likely leave me quite tired. Apparently, they weren't kidding about the whole "daytime" part. They meant a.m. when they said "9 or 10."
4. I shall have to leave the building to smoke.
5. Probably cannot catch up on television shows while I am working. Likewise, I will have to wear headphones in order to listen to music at a freakishly high volume.
6. Seeing another person unexpectedly does not necessarily indicate the presence of an intruder. I should make sure before calling the police.
7. My cats will likely think I am never coming back. They will turn feral while I am gone.
8. Cannot make googly eyes or practice juggling during meetings, as the others in the meeting can probably see me.
9. Alcohol is for after work. They seem to find this important.
10. The work itself is not any less tedious than my home projects.
    
11. Garbage tornadoes in the parking lot/smoking area. I'll try to remember to take a picture of this phenomena for you.

The positive:

1. I'll probably only have to make coffee if I finish the pot. No doubt I will be looking around for a cashier my first couple of times in the break room.
2. Vending machines. I really should get some for my home, though.
3. Running out of an essential work item does not mean I have to run out to an office supply store.
4. Someone might hear the various sarcastic, witty things I say during the day.
5. If I am there, even if they've run out of work for me to do, I am getting paid. My plan is to hide there for several months after the assignment is completed.
   
6. Since I still have a fairly full workload at home in addition to the on-site stuff: if I complain about work, I'm not likely to get the eye roll I tend to get these days.
7. Sometimes there is free food.
8. Vitamin K, which comes only from sunlight, is considered essential for some reason.
9. Getting a phone call at 2 p.m. does not mean I am being roused from sleep by a ringing telephone.
10. I'll get to see some folks I genuinely like and haven't seen in a while.
11. Garbage tornadoes. They're quite beautiful. OK, not really. But they tend to win the "my office sucks because..." contest when debating with people.
    

So it's a tie. Guess I'll show up after all.
