Great Reasons To Be Sitting at Work at 8:30 on a Friday Night in New York City

1. You're a stockbroker and while losing your 20's and early 30's to corporate devils, you are being paid handsomely.

2. You're an entertainer - Your job just began or won't begin for another 2-3 hours, so you're just getting your morning coffee/evening drink.

3. Your boss is not a boss, but a psycho and is holding you at gunpoint (not a pleasant reason, but a good excuse to sit tight and not make any sudden moves).

4. You're a nighttime sitting human statue.

5. You play the part of FDR in an early show of play and your stage entrance is exactly at 8:30 p.m. on Friday.

6. You're waiting for DVD's of a reality show to burn so they can be shipped to the entertainment capital of the world and have nothing better to do but make up lists and stare out the window at a bustling city - bustling without you that is - and dream of all the people out there shakin' their booties, eating fine cuisine, marrying your future wife thus destroying your lineage while you sit and stare at a digital readout of DVD creation progress and wait for it to finish.

*NOTE: #6 may not be a great reason.
