One time I was 13 years old.

Tic tok has become pervasive

Especially considering that he has been standing there like that since shortly after 9 in the morning.

He’ll set a good example when he gets a good job.

Yeah, if you want to get out of here at the stroke of five, it will be more efficient if you’re standing on the floor.

It might be those on-line telekinesis lessons were useless.

Must be his last day! One way or another….

I would not allow this employee to breed.

He’s a 5 o’clock kamikaze

Another rat has worked out a way to live in the maze.

Browning only worked there one day, he’s just been there for 12 years.

He should be still working….

To him it’s a step up!

He must have gotten nearsighted and can’t see the clock well unless he’s close to it. He doesn’t want to stay any longer than he has to.

I think he might think he’s weighing himself…

Just making sure that clock is still working….

“You’re still here?? The rest left at four.”

I don’t think he’s worried about setting examples.

“Just watching the clock, Sir.”

When we had to clock in and out from a terminal, there was one guy that would be ready 5 mins before clocking off time with motorcycle helmet and coat on, waiting for the clock to hit 5pm, then punch it out on the exact second it changed. Literally a clock watcher
