I wish my job was more like hockey

I grew up enjoying hockey. And more than just watching The Mighty Ducks movies growing up. I'm talking actual hockey. My dad used to take my sisters and I to watch hockey games at the U of I. It was pretty exciting and I really grew to enjoy the sport. I also happen to have a boyfriend who happens to love hockey so watching hockey or attending Blues games is what we spend a lot of our free time doing. Hockey is awesome. So tonight as I sit here at home and watch the Blues game on TV it got me thinking.... why are more things in life not like hockey? More specifically.... why can my job not be more like hockey.

Now, there would be a lot of cool things about my job being more like a hockey game. A break every 20 minutes, having one of the cool ring whistles the officials have, and of course....the pulled pork nachos every day. But the best part would be that in hockey you don't have to hide your emotions or anger from anyone. You see, in hockey, when someone does something you don't like... you punch them. You punch them right in the face. And then you punch them again. If you're lucky you'll punch them so hard they fall down to the ice and start bleeding. Why is this social acceptable at a hockey players "office" and not mine?? Why can I not punch people at my job? I would even be willing to wear a little helmet to work every day to make HR happy (of course my helmet would be super cute and blinged out).

But wait....what's that you say? Don't these hockey players get kicked out of the game for punching people? One would think. But NO!! The "punishment" is that you have to sit down for 5 minutes and do NOTHING. That's right...I said NOTHING!! Meanwhile your "co-workers" pick up the slack for you while you sit and relax and have a nice cool glass of water in your own private little box.

Plus I think it would be way faster to get to the other side of the office on skates.

Just a little something to ponder for the evening :)

(DISCLAIMER: I am not planning/do not plan to punch any of my co-workers. This is just a clever story about how i wish my job was more like hockey. Just wanted to clarify in case the government (or anyone from my office) is reading this.)
