A bit of a comparison

[trackside]

@ PRISON -- You spend most of your time in a 10X10 cell

@ WORK -- You spend most of your time in a 6X6 cubicle

@ PRISON -- You get three fully paid for meals a day

@ WORK -- You get a break for one meal, and you have to pay for it

@ PRISON -- For good behavior, you get time off

@ WORK -- For good behavior, you get more work

@ PRISON -- The guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you

@ WORK -- You must carry a security card and open all the doors yourself

@ PRISON -- You can watch TV and play games

@ WORK -- You could get fired for watching TV and playing games

@ PRISON -- You get your own toilet

@ WORK -- You have to share the toilet with people who pee on the seat

@ PRISON -- They allow your family and friends to visit

@ WORK -- You aren't even supposed to speak to your family

@ PRISON -- All expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required on your part

@ WORK -- You must pay all your expenses to go to work, and they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners

@ PRISON -- You spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out

@ WORK -- You spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars

@ PRISON You must deal with sadistic wardens

@ WORK -- They are called 'managers'

THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE.

Now get back to work. You're not getting paid to play around on the 'web!

Mind you, at work I don't have to share a shower, so dropping the soap is not a problem!
