I am out of here in five minutes. I hope no one calls at the last minute and prolongs the joy I get from leaving this place. I feel like I've been here for a week straight. Again, it's only Tuesday. Oh, crap.. that means that tomorrow is Wednesday. I don't do well on Wednesday's for some reason. Hump day and I just don't get along well.

Four minutes now. My heart races every time I look at the clock in the lower right corner of my monitor. I'm frantically anticipating that annoying beep that rings in my ear to warn me of an incoming call. Please, no. I can't handle another customer tonight. Let me leave on time and in peace.

Two minutes left. I'm almost in the clear.

One minute.

I'm waiting for the closest supervisor to yell "all clear!" so I can quickly hit the button to log out of the system preventing anyone else from calling in on my line.

Still waiting..

Any second now...

It's 8:00. Where is the signal? Are they not watching the clock? Come on now... I need to get out of here. They're giving them a chance to sneak in! Don't they understand that? Of course they do. They like to screw with us.

Oh, no! It's 8:01 and no signal to log out!

Sigh... there it is. I'm gone.
