Here I am, stuck in the daily grind, pushing papers like a champ. But guess what? I’ve got a secret superpower: or so I thought. You see, I believed I could time travel. I’d be sitting at my desk, pretending to be the model employee, and then, bam! I’d decide to chill with the dinosaurs. Close my eyes, wish real hard, and bam! Suddenly, I’m surrounded by oversized reptiles. It’s a Jurassic party, and I’m the uninvited guest.
The best part? No one at the office even notices. I’m like the Houdini of the corporate world. I’m gone, exploring the wonders of history, and back before anyone realizes I’ve disappeared. It’s like I never left. My boss probably thinks I’m the most dedicated employee ever, little does he know I’m actually a time-traveling ninja.
One day, feeling adventurous, I decide to visit ancient Rome. Strolling around the Colosseum, high-fiving gladiators and dodging stray lions. But then, the unthinkable happens—I get stuck. Something goes wonky with my time-traveling watch, and I’m stranded in togas and sandals.
Panicking? You betcha. I’m stuck in ancient Rome, and my boss probably thinks I’m just taking an extra-long bathroom break. I can already hear the HR department preparing my pink slip.
Days turn into weeks, and weeks into months. I try everything to fix my time-traveling gadget, but it’s as uncooperative as a cat in a bathtub. I’ve become a permanent feature in a history that isn’t mine.
Meanwhile, back at the office, my coworkers are carrying on as usual. They probably figured I finally snapped from the monotony and decided to take an extended vacation. Little do they know, I’m stuck with a bunch of Romans who don’t speak English, and chariot Uber hasn’t been invented yet.
I’ve become a historical hermit, the guy who never made it back to the present. It’s a lonely existence, but hey, at least I can brag about being the only person who got fired for time traveling.
One day, I wake up to find myself back at my desk. Confused and disoriented, I look around, realizing that I’m not in ancient Rome. My coworkers give me puzzled looks, wondering why I’m staring at my computer screen like I’ve seen a ghost.
Then it hits me—my time-traveling adventures were nothing but dreams. I wasn’t exploring history; I was falling asleep at my desk. The narcolepsy that I never knew I had decided to make an appearance, turning my workdays into a bizarre mix of reality and dreams.
So, the next time you think your job is a drag, just remember: at least you’re not confusing reality with ancient Rome because of an undiagnosed sleep disorder.
