Ever wonder who all those people are you see outside during the day while you're stuck in an office working? If you're lucky enough to have a window in an area that sees foot traffic, you see them passing by. If you're lucky enough to have a window, but it faces a road, you see their cars. And if you're lucky enough to actually get out during the day when it's not lunchtime, you see them in coffee shops, parks, stores and out on the street.
So how come THEY get to be out while you're stuck inside? They obviously aren't all stay at home parents, and they can't possibly all have the day off---so who are they and what do they do? How did they get to be so lucky to be free during the day? Or better yet, how do I get to be them?
I found an article online from someone who wondered the same thing. Unlike me, he decided to do something about his curiosity and he went out an actually interviewed them! Makes for a pretty fascinating read. Check out the article linked below.

That's a wonderful article. The other week I took a day off and went to the mall at 10:00 and was surprised at the number of people at the mall. There is another life outside of cubesville...

Ahh yes...the people I am dying to be! I like to go to Target after 1 PM whenever I can. I like the feeling of knowing everyone else is back working at the office and I am out with people who, for the most part, don't have the restriction of a lunch hour. =) It's my little guilty pleasure!
