Its Monday night and you're exhausted from a long day, the last thing on your mind when you arrive home is more work. You've been through a whole day of it, and now you just want to lay on your couch and watch your favourite tv show or that cool flick on dvd. No matter how much you try and rid your mind of work and clear your head of work related events and stress, lo and behold, the movie you just started to watch depicts or recites work in some way! OH NO!
Some hollywood movies and/or television sitcoms try and do their very best to relate to the everyday person, so that you - the viewer, can relate to such programming and commit to watching. Clocking-in for work is something most of us can relate to. Whether you're job is working as a general labourer at a manufacturing plant, a store clerk at a retail centre, or even a receptionist at a government office; you punch in for work, and you punch out!
