Time could not be going any slower.
I have no work to do at the moment, and it's become risky to harvest crops on iFarm while at my desk, so here I am. No calls coming in, no calls to make, no workplace conversations to be had. Oh, what I wouldn't give to work for Nintendo of America. I can see it now. I'd be sitting at my desk, surrounded with brightly colored posters of Mario and Link, spending my time in between work playing New Super Mario Bros Wii on the Wii console at my desk, while my neighbor on one side pummels Ganon and my neighbor on the other side hunts for Elebits. The whole office is full of video game music and the characteristic Boiiing of Mario's jumps as we all shout in frustration at our television screens at how we can't crack an egg in Cooking Mama or paint that tall building in De Blob. We'd all pull weeds and dig holes in each other's Animal Crossing towns for hours, and get paid to do it. Then at the end of the day, I'd hang up my Wiimote by its wrist strap on the wall of my cubicle and tap the power button on my flat screen monitor and punch out for the day, and I'd come home with a smile on my face, knowing I did something really great by saving all those Hylians from the wrath of the dark power.
If only I worked for Nintendo...
