Jo wasn’t vain about much, but she was vain about her hair.

the times in which screaming is unacceptable:
- In a movie theater unless it’s the early to mid 1900s and movies are still new for you
- All other times

HOW TO GET THROUGH THE HOURS OF NINE TO FIVE (IN A SWIVEL CHAIR) by From Our Readers
1. Look at the time on the right corner of your screen. Look at the time on the clock on the wall. Note if there is a discrepancy.
2. Check your e-mail. Check your other e-mail. Check your spam filter, just in case. Delete a Groupon for $5 dollars off at Quiznos.
3. GChat your friends. Send them an endearing YouTube video of a hedgehog sleeping. Type out laughter so they know you think it’s funny. In return, receive a video of a beluga whale dancing you already watched yesterday.
4. Go to the kitchen and make coffee. Debate between sugar and Equal and settle with both. Make a joke about snorting it to your co-worker. Laugh to fill up the silence.
5. Send yourself a link to a long New York Times article to read later. Get excited when you see one new e-mail in your inbox, and then get sad when you realize it is from yourself. Open it anyway.
6. Go on WebMD and research what side effects occur from sitting too close to a computer monitor.
7. Go into the bathroom to schedule a doctor’s check-up, wondering if its time to transition from your pediatrician.
8. Accept an invitation from someone you don’t know on Linkedin. Feel slightly flattered they want to network with you. Peruse through old classmates accomplishments, and wonder what “Creative Strategic Analyst” means and why you aren’t one, too. Wonder why they keep suggesting you reconnect with your old gym teacher and consider the career advantages in doing so. 9. Take a trip to the bathroom even though you don’t have to go. Examine your face in the mirror for any new activity.
9. Do a little work, but realize if you continue to do it you will have nothing to do for the rest of the day. Push it back until 4pm so you can finish the day strong.
10. GChat the guy who is always on, the one you only save for extreme circumstances because he is annoying. Wonder if he is aware you would not be friends with him if it wasn’t for GChat.
11. Look out your window, or if you don’t have one, the fluorescent lighting above you, and wonder why you are wasting such a nice day inside. Consider what would happen if they replaced you with a robot.
12. Respond to a work e-mail that doesn’t need a response, just because you’re starved for contact. Waver between signing it “Thank you”, “Thanks” or “Sincerely”. Thank you is too direct. Thanks is cold and chilly. Sincerely makes you sound like penpal. Settle with “Best Regards” and feel like an a-hole. by Emma Rosenberg
