Note: I'm really just joking around here. If you're from the DHS or anyone else who might take it upon themselves to be bothered by this, just lemme know and I'll get rid of it. Cheers...

Long Day at Work?
take shelter against your desk or table

1. 

After a full day of having other people's mistakes dropped on you to fix, you may feel like cowering under your desk with a bottle of Wild Turkey.
exit the building as quickly as possible

2. 

Instead, sneak out the back door. Odds are, nobody will notice you're gone.
do not use elevators

3. 

Avoid the elevators as your boss may be coming back from that three-martini lunch.
check for fire

4. 

Don't panic, but DO contact your burnout friends. I hear Biohazard are playing Pete's tonight...
take your emergency kit

5. 

Spend the rest of the afternoon getting hospital drunk.
