How to waste a beautiful day

Editor's Note: This is not the only way to waste a beautiful day. This is just one suggestion.

Step 1: Get up way too early. This will be easy if you hold a normal 8ish-5ish job and have to drive more than 5 mins to get to work. If you actually want to eat breakfast and/or shower, it will be even easier.

Step 2: Go to work. It is likely that you sit in a cubicle all day within a larger office from which you cannot locate any windows to the outside world. If it's easier to look on your iphone for the current weather rather than look outside, you probably fit in this category.

Step 3: Stay inside for lunch. You may get the crazy notion that you can go outside and get lunch, or even eat outside. Incorrect. That would be taking advantage of a beautiful day. Instead, ask a co-worker to bring you back a sandwich. Bonus points if you get so crazy busy working that you don't even remember to eat lunch. That way you'll be extra cranky in the afternoon.

Step 4: Work late. If you leave at a normal hour you might catch some sunlight. At around 4pm, be sure to start working on something that you can't possibly finish by 5:30 but that you also can't leave until the following morning. Going to the bathroom or surfing the internet doesn't count.

Step 5: When the sun sets, leave work. When the creepy crawlers that live in your closet and under your bed come out to play, this is when you call it a day.

Step 6: Declare it's too late to work out. By this point in the day you have just enough time to go home and eat dinner before Lost comes on. You don't have time to change, sweat for 45 mins and then shower. Yeah, it's definitely too late to work out.

Step 7: Look at the clock. Holy shit it's already 9 pm? WTF.

Congratulations! You've wasted a perfectly beautiful day!
