no need to go to work

awake to the sound of the son's alarm clock, it is still dark on the day after the shortest day of the year.
Find the alarm clock, start to fumble with the many switches. The machine is from the seventies of the last century, it has switches for radio for snoozing for a lack of radio for buzzer-confusing.
Try one of the switches
silence.
Good

Read the watch, it is seven.
open the computer.
read the news

American President with no precedent.
Hope that the people there will have a happy Christmas with what is left of their freedom.

Go back to bed.

There are young men all over the sitting room floor, in sleeping bags. They had spent half the night playing computer games together, the son had organised a party. And now they are all on the floor, on the couch, wherever you feel like it.
All four of them.

So make a cup of coffee
and take a slice of bread
return to the bedroom, there is no need to wake them.
This is the weekend before Christmas,
no need to go to work until next year
