Work Day Blues

Alarm beeps the most annoying sounds your ear could possibly hear. You get up; shower, maybe; toss something in your mouth that somewhat resembles breakfast; then drag yourself out the door to head towards the office. Exhausted and sluggish you go straight for the coffee pot to find that there is no cream, milk, or sugar… and so the day begins.
