Assignment 21- Julian Perry

Right now, somewhere in a quaint little corner of the world, someone is getting ready for the 8-hour shift at a barely-above-minimum-wage job. They don't particularly want to work, sure, but they'd rather have the job secured now than have to look for a new one in the summer. This individual is entirely bored of the weekend routine: Homework, work, sleep. Wake up, work, homework. Hello once again, Monday my old friend. 

You've heard of "working for the weekend," but this man does the opposite, certainly not intentionally. This is the result of a fantastically convenient "e-scheduling" system which gives a whole day's notice on the employee's next schedule. No longer will the employee have to come in on Saturday to find if they're working the following day. Simply wait until 6 o'clock that night, and the knowledge will be instantly  delivered through the highest internet speeds this side of the Appalachians! This wonderful system also hasn't scheduled the person in question to work any day but saturday and sunday 8 hour shifts for a month and a half.    

Somewhere in the world right now, there is a man not thinking fondly upon technology.
