How to Create a Work/Life Balance
Get a cat.
Make sure said cat is happy.
Snuggle said cat.
Wake up bleary eyed.
Feed cat.
Make coffee.
Make bed.
Take a shower.
Remember you made coffee, drink nectar of the gods.
Eat a boiled egg.
Brush teeth, floss.
Gently pick up cat, load in vehicle of choice.
Take cat to work.
Make a list of priorities for the day.
Completely disregard them.
Remember you haven't eaten anything by around 4PM.
Ignore the intriguing, yet frightening sounds of your stomach.
Realize you haven't seen cat lately.
Proceed to freak out.
Find cat sleeping in the hottest spot of the shop.
Cry with relief, and exclaim to anyone within earshot that you do in fact have the best cat.
Ever.
Think about food again.
Remember you're broke, because you buy a beer at the local pump house nearly every night.
Curse yourself for the second time this week, because you didn't pack a lunch.
Oh shit, forgot to process payroll.
Oh shit, forgot to pay that bill.
Fuck, you forgot about rent coming out of the account.
Did your business taxes cost THAT much?!
Why did you agree to this?
Weep into fur of this magnificent creature who always knows when you're about to break down.
Compose yourself.
Oh shit, forgot to finish customer's repair.
Work until 12:30 in the morning finishing it.
Gently pick up sleeping cat, load in vehicle.
Drive home to a depressing soundtrack.
Gently unload cat into home.
