5 Reasons for not going to work today
(1) It's a beautiful day, bluest of skies, sunshine and warm.
(2) My office only has a small window = hardly any sunshine.
(3) No motivation whatsoever for work.
(4) I have a sunburn on the backside of my legs, so sitting is not the most comfortable position I could think of.
(5) No one checks whether I'm there or not, most of all, my supervisor couldn't care less.
5 Reasons for going to work today
(1) I get this quite indecently high jet set scholarship, so I'm actually paid to work.
(2) I have to finish this PhD eventually one day.
(3) ??
(4) ???
(5) ????
Nonetheless, I will reluctantly and unwillingly pick up my stuff and go to work.
Conclusion: All people working (in the academia) are irrational, masochistic nerds.

ehm.. sorry but i don't get why you actually went to the office.
1) you didn't give any good reason
2) can't you write from home?
3) why?
4) how did you get sunburnt only on your back leg?!
1) that's exactly my point: there is none.
2) no i can't. since i have an office, my working rhythm is totally addicted to it. plus: doesn't change the problem of having to work.
3) why what?
4) fall asleep in the sunshine at the beach while lying on your stomach and you only put suntan lotion on your back.
I see all your points... now, I'm looking forward to the "second lesson of academic logic" :P
Could be something like:
