Wanting to secure my spot in the finals of Survivor: Cubicle Island, I had to make sure my other competitors (my 3 other co-workers still in the office) would be dropping out of the game. I thought, since this was a competition, why not make someone earn their way to the finals.
"Office challenge." I declared as I walked into the three different cubicles of my three different co-workers. Surprisingly, they were all game.
The four of us met up in the middle of the office, where we could take advantage of the most spacious area in the place. I came prepared with the necessary game tools and four candles.

The Test: Part 2
Hours passed and I kept on with the same routine I do every day. About a 50/50 split of work and rest time. Okay, it was more like 10% work and 90% rest split. To be honest with you, I could have done nothing all day and got away with it - no one was checking up on me.
That fact was a little disconcerting, because if something were to happen to me, chances are no one was making a rescue. For instance, if I came down with a fatal case of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome via excess Internet surfing, someone would find me the next morning in an uncompromising situation. Whomever discovered me would see me on the floor, grasping my wrist, with multiple Internet windows opened (opened to sports, entertainment, and whatever websites I was reading at that moment), multiple computer games (Solitaire, FreeCell, Minesweeper, AND Internet Checkers, and not a single work document along the bottom scroll.

The Test: Part 1
The weather here is horrid. The blizzard-like conditions have affected mass transit, highways, expressways, and all forms of travel - to the point that people are being forced to stay home. You'd think I'd know this information, but fortunately unfortunately, I was one of the lucky unlucky ones who were able to successfully make it into work today.
"I thought for sure I wouldn't have seen your face today!" One co-worker told me in passing.
"I would have bet the farm you would have called out today." Another co-worker said to me.
"I'm shocked to see you here!" A third co-worker told me. Do the people here think that little of me? Sadly they do. Those were the only three other co-workers in the office at that time and I'm sure I would have heard more of the same from the others if they were present.
