But now, finally, your day has come to an end, it’s time to finally leave the job for the day. It is finally time for you to wind down after a long and hard day at work. When we last left you, you just tripped and fell. Your hot female co-worker has come up to you to help you up. And what do you do? You flirt with her of course. And what happens? You get slapped harder than Michael Jackson at a Boys Scout Meeting.
Here we go:
4:00pm – Yes, finally, only one more hour of work and then you are out of here!
4:10pm – You think of all the things you plan on doing when you get home work.
4:11pm – Realize that you left the Jenna Jameson eight-hour video tape on the kitchen table.

4:13pm – You’re in trouble aren’t you?
4:14pm – You damn straight you are.
4:20pm – Hmm… what excuse can you use to get out of it?
4:21pm – Ok, saying that your dog bought it in the house is not a good excuse.

5:00pm – “Can you work a double today please?” she asks.
5:01pm – Stuttering…
5:02pm – “No!” you reply sternly, “There is no possible way I am staying here until 10 o’clock at night! There is not a single thing you can do get me to stay that long!”
10:00pm – Finally, you leave Superman: Ultimate Flight.
