Reckoning of the Day

As promised, I kept track of what I actually do. Turns out I do work some on a daily basis, but I'll let you make the call. I am being honest here, unless you are a prospective employer. In that case, I do nothing but slave away and they have to kick me out of the office at 8:00 when the cleaning crew is locking up. I have references.
