You always make me laugh. Second line did it. I never quite understood the need for alcohol, but to each his own.

Can identify with all but the highball since I don't drink, but many nights wish I did. Great assessment of the workday world, Rutherford.

This sounds like a Friday to me... Succinct summary of a standard workday, that works very well!

What is more important; the words or the form? In theory both carry information but as for me, I'll go with the words every time. Now, to the point of a review - well the words say it all don't they and there is everything imagined and implied between the first and second line, all of it based upon a prerequisite of personal experience. Notice how the meaning is bound by time, place and personal context. Without this the words are meaningless. Further, information is not understanding is it? Understanding why you would even write such lines, why those who have reviewed would derive meaning, perhaps some emotions or the evocation of memory cum/sans emotion; humans are a strange lot. You don't perceive other species on this planet doing it, do you? Why is that? Maybe they do and humans just don't get it; no context, no experience - at being a hive worker; oh, wait, maybe you do have some experience with hive worker mentality. There you go Rutherford, your life through the eyes and mind of a bee.
