Work Versus Prison

Just in case you ever get these two environments mixed up, this should make things a little bit clearer.

In prison. . . you spend the majority of your time in an 10X10 cell.
At work. . . you spend the majority of your time in an 8X8 cubicle.

In prison. . . you get three meals a day.
At work. . . you get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it.

In prison. . . you get time off for good behavior.
At work. . . you get more work for good behavior.

In prison. . .the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
At work. . . you must often carry a security card and open all the doors for yourself.

In prison. . . you can watch TV and play games.
At work. . . you could get fired for watching TV and playing games.

In prison. . . you get your own toilet.
At work. . . you have to share the toilet with some people who pee on the seat.

In prison. . . they allow your family and friends to visit.
At work. . . you aren't even supposed to speak to your family.

In prison. . .all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required.
At work. . . you get to pay all your expenses to go to work, and they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners

In prison. . .you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out.
At work. . . you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars.

In prison. . . you must deal with sadistic wardens.
At work. . . they are called managers.
