Work vs Prison

Just in case you ever get the two mixed up, this should make things a bit clearer.... a bit of humour...

In Prison - you spend the majority of your time in an 8 x 10 cell
At work - you spend the majority of your time in an 8 x 6 cubicle !!!

In Prison - You get three meals a day provided
At work - you only get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it !!!

In Prison - you get time off for good behaviour
At work - you get given even more work for good behaviour !!!

In Prison - the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you
At work - you must carry around a security card and open all the doors for yourself !!!

In Prison - you can watch TV and play games
At work - You get fired for watching TV and playing games !!!

In Prison - you get your own toilet
At work - you have to share with some idiot who pees on the seat !!!

In Prison - they allow your family and friends to visit
At work - you can't even speak to your family on the telephone !!!

In Prison - all expenses are paid by the taxpayers, with no work involved
At work - you get to pay all the expenses to go to work, and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners !!!

In Prison - you spend most of your life inside behind bars wanting to get out
At work - you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside behind bars

In Prison - you must deal with sadistic wardens
At work - they are called Managers

SO WHY IS IT, AGAIN, THAT WE WORK ?

Don't know where this came from... but this sure sound like my work! - webmaster
