Toiling Tuesdays: The McOffice

You May Work in a McOffice When:
  • You reside in a cubicle
  • Your job hours are 9-5 with strict breaks at certain times
  • You have to clock in and are paid hourly
  • You’re told to turn your music down or put on headphones because you are distracting the other McPeople 
  • You need constant guidance in your job role or the reverse: you are being constantly supervised
  • You catch the “Mondays”
  • There are more power cords than outlets around you
  • You alternate use of your desk with the evening/afternoon/morning workers
  • You share a phone

What it Takes to Be a Writer:

there is a famous psychological study wherein a child is placed in a blank room and sat in front of a table. On top of the table is a plate containing one large marshmallow. The child is instructed that if he waits he can have two marshmallows but if he eats this one, he doesn’t get another. This is the test of a novel writer. You might get to lick the marshmallow and taste the sweetness on your tongue but you can’t eat the marshmallow.
