Take Your Beasts to Work Day

I was a little surprised to see the train was packed with annoying children this morning. Then it hit me that I am a slacker dad and totally missed Take Your Beast Children to Work Day. Missed probably isn't a good way of putting it; consciously avoided is probably better. I actually don't see the point especially when working in an office environment. Trying to make that look sexy and exciting is just fruitless. Now if I had a cool job like mailman, garbageman or pool cleaner, then it would defintely be worth it. But what's the fun of showing my kids that I sit in boring meetings and type on the computer all day. Just thinking about it depresses me! The wife did offer to take The Girl with her to the Brat Farm. But going to the day care is more punishment than going to school. She can always hope for us to get cooler jobs; I figure I have a midlife crisis coming up soon. Maybe she'll get lucky. Cabana Boy, now that sounds like a winner.
