Had A Bad Day ?

[Freed]

Had a bad day ?

was the boss on your back all day?

working on that powerpoint presentation that has to be given tommorow morning ?

Trying to look busy and keen - because the big boss is in today ?

maybe you're a student with missed deadlines looking for an extentsion - or frantically writing your dissertation /Thesis or maybe you're preparing for finals?

Aww poor diddums !

Get a grip people ! Stop feeling sorry for yourselves - sitting on your bottom all day, in your comfortable air conditioned office - tapping on your computer. You don't know you're Born ! - Think of all the sacrifices your parents and forebears made so you could enjoy your pampered 'Suit Boot' lifestyle sipping coffee and wondering if you should have that extra pastry or wait and have a major blowout at your 'expenses paid' Lunch

- They worked double shifts in Dirty sweaty Foundries and Lumber Mills so you could complain ?

OK OK I'm only joking - I'll get off my High Horse - Seriously though how many of us recognise the hardships the 'Pioneers' went through ?
