Seth: What are you doing?
Evan: Drilling holes.... there's two weeks left of school, fuck it.

Today is my last day of work before two weeks of vacation. Tomorrow, I leave for Disneyland. Needless to say, I am not working very hard today. I mean, I don't really have to – I did a bunch of work ahead of time to help out those filling my shoes in my absence, and there is no point in starting anything new because, well, there is less than two hours left in the workday, so what's the point? If I start something new and it doesn't get done by 5 p.m., then what?
I realize this, and so does, I think, my boss. He often has a bad habit of assigning us tasks – even menial, quick ones - at like 4:52 p.m. I don't even think he does it on purpose, but today, for me, there has been none of these type of assignments since lunch. Instead, other colleagues are getting them put on their desks instead.
Because let's face it, if he gave it to me, it's not going to get done. Nobody even has to say anything.
He knows it. I know it.
Now, let's just sit silently at our desks until the clock runs out.
