Money Wasted, Money Earned

So we are coming back from spring break tomorrow, and that means that the UC, the place of my employment, opened today at 2 pm. And I, being the lucky bastard that I am, got to do the honor. So I have been sitting here for the past 6 1/2 hours, getting paid to surf the net and study for my physics test tomorrow (my professor doesn't believe in spring breaks and expected us all to study every day for the damn thing; yeah, like that was gonna happen), and I came to the conclusion that the government loves to waste money. They could have saved some money by not opening the UC today (we had 3 people stop by, and one of them worked here). The energy bill would have been less, they wouldn't have had to pay us, and I wouldn't have been so bored that I Googled "the history of cardboard." Turns out it was invented in 1856 and first used in men's hats.* Weird ain't it? I mean, cardboard hats? How cheap can you get? Thats like making a hat out of newspaper and selling it. Sad thing is, I've seen that done. East Texans are weird and backwoodsy. And they will by anything that looks "classy." I could sell a pile of dog...hair....if I said it was a mink-lab mix. Anyways, my point is, why make me come to work when I could just as easily have gotten paid for sitting at home? I'll tell ya why. Cause the man is always looking for a way to get ya down. And we should all stick it to the man. So long as it doesn't get me fired. Cause I gotta eat too ya know.
