Tim awoke to the sound of his alarm clock. Opening his eyes and looked at it drowsily as he hit the snooze button. "Five more minutes" he said.
Thirty minutes later he woke up. Looking at the clock his eyes shot open. "Dangit! You idiot!" he screamed at himself. He fell out of bed and hit his head on his night stand. He lay on the floor dazed, and finally said: "Ouch."
Tim was thirty two years old and lived with his college buddy, Josh. They paid the rent, well, Tim payed the rent, Josh ate and played video games.
Tim rushed to his bathroom and splashed some water on his face. He got dressed, went downstairs, and saw Josh sleeping on the couch.
"Josh...Josh...Josh..." "What is it? said Josh. He sat up and a bag of chips fell to the floor. "You need to get a job Josh, I can't keep paying the rent" said Tim. "What are you going to do, throw me out on the street?" questioned Josh. Tim bit his lip as if pondering something, staring at Josh intently. "Ok man, I'll finish the book. Than I can get out of this dump." said Josh. "Josh, you've been writing your book for six months now, its time you get a real job."
Josh had been writing a book on government conspiricy theories, he was on the second chapter. "Fine, I'll go get a job at the video store or something, jeesh." "Good" said Tim. "Now I'm off to work."
Tim got in his car and drove to his job at an insurance agency.
He parked his car and stepped inside the elevator. 'Oh great,' thought Tim 'its Steve.'
Steve was the most popular guy there and always picked on Tim. Tim always acted nice to Steve but he infact despised him."Yo, yo, yo, brother-man" said Steve as he ran up to Tim and stopped the elevator just before it started moving. 'Great, he's doing the popped collar thing again.' thought Tim as he looked at Steve's shirt.
"Did you hear I got promoted?" said Steve. "Yesss" said Tim through his teeth. "That was three days ago."
"I know, right?" said Steve. The elevator stopped and Tim stepped out.
