Following weeks of hard graft on 2 key projects and this morning’s progress review, my colleagues and I were given the afternoon off. I haven’t had an official ‘early mark’ since high school, and I like it. And this on a day that I wore shorts to work!
Teacher must think I’ve been a good boy!
This has made me wonder. Early parole for good behaviour; why does society allow it? Baring in mind that I get ‘early release’ from work for working, and even working overtime (that’s WORK, not sitting about waiting for my next publicly funded meal to be cooked and served). How is this right? Prisoners whom have stolen, raped, injured or killed, are convicted and proceed to be ‘kept’ by the taxpayer, some of which they stole from, raped, injured or killed in the first place, and then are told that because they’ve not continued their terrible ways on the inside they can be released of their penance, and rejoin society.
We workers, however, have to work long(ish) hours to pay for our own food, lodgings and clothing before we get an early mark!
This seems a little lop-sided! That said, I'm not gonna bitch too much as this might be the last early mark I get for a while! But then maybe that's reason to bitch even more?!
