Mr. Slug has announced a new work schedule which will require Mrs. Slug to get up at the crack of dawn to assemble his delicious lunch to be placed inside the dapper and dutiful Mr. Lunchbox who shall accompany Mr. Slug to work so that he may serve him the repast at the midday meal. Mr. Lunchbox is always eager to serve. Our hero has a very strict work ethic that we could all learn from. It should be noted: although our dear friend Mr. Lunchbox does not display the most pleasant disposition at all times, he certainly has been well respected in the foodservice industry for his tireless efforts and attention to detail. Mr. Lunchbox is happy to accept awards at catered award banquets and is an eloquent speaker when standing upon the podium before a crowd of his peers. However........
Mr. Lunchbox is not yet sure he likes the new work schedule.....he is not always fully awake in the morning and feels that he should be allowed to sleep longer. Mrs. Slug has promised him that she will have his coffee ready the moment he hops out of bed in the morning. (Can I get a "Yippeee!!"?) Oh Joy! Cue the bird chirps and strum that harp! It's going to be a great day!

Well, I just don't think I ever hear of a slug saying "Hurry UP!" to anyone, but then stranger things have happened, have they not?
It's the opposite story here. Peggy now goes to work at 3:00 in the afternoon. This will be better for both of us since the pain often keeps me from sleeping well. That's why I'm up now, just awaiting for the second Percocet to kick in. Oh well, I took it an hour ago, so I guess this is just as good as it's going to get.
Just think the slugs can see the sunrise!
A wonderful "wake up and smell the coffee" before sliding off to work story... How hard it is in the morning some days to get into gear and get going, for slugs, lunchboxes, and humans alike...
I hope all is well in the slippery world of the slugosphere...
