So, it's mid-afternoon on Friday. The weekend awaits. Will you veg on the couch, or finally acquiesce to your holiday Christmas procrastination guilt and grudgingly climb the attic steps and retrieve the decorations? Perhaps you'll be braving the crowds in a big box store, lusting after whatever tablets still remain in stock.
Regardless, it's that time of the day when the blood sugar is low, your energy levels are non-existent, and all you want is a cocktail at 5:01PM.
Let's give you something to get you through the next few hours. Here's two crazy things that should keep you (and the company email servers) humming until closing time.
First up - a quickie to whet your appetite. (Get your mind out of the gutter. The object of your affections down in the mailroom or over at the forge furnace just isn't that into you.) This should please any of the geeks in the audience:
Finished? Wonderful! Watching natural science develop is always a superbly enthralling way to waste 120 seconds. Next, let's take the Friday afternoon science theme into overdrive, and combine it with a bit of new age revelry, particularly since 2012 is just around the corner. Ready for TEOTWAWKI? Not if you don't have one of these...
The Invisible Mystic Mayan Power Cloak™ (There's only one hitch - I can't embed a picture of the product because, well, it's invisible, duh! So, you've gotta click through on the link. Operators are standing by to take your order, and supplies are limited.)
When the hoards of angry Archangels, Alien invaders, Quatzequatel, the Anti-Christ, the vengeful warrior Christ, Tea Party Republicans, Zombies and other 'End-of-the-World' instigators rain down upon the Earth, your stylish 'Invisible Mystic Mayan Power Cloak™' will render you invisible to their wrath... it's also meteor proof! It's like having the ultimate back-stage pass to the Greatest Show on Earth!
But wait - that's not all! If you click through on the link above, you'll get further links to multiple pages of detailed information that will help you, your co-workers, and your family sail through 2012 in style! (Oh, wait - it just occurred to me that you might not want to let that wingnut co-worker two cubicles over in on this patent pending apocalyptic survival gear. Just keep it between us, then, OK? It's our secret. Shhhh.)
Hey, ya gotta laugh. Otherwise, you're damned to an afternoon of watching Mitt Romney or Rick Perry videos that will make you wish happy hour started at 8:15AM.
