Category: daily tedium

I really wish I had something to say. Work is crushing my spirit, and my lack of caffeine is sapping my strength. I’ll hopefully be back tomorrow full of vim and vigor (and caffeine).

I’ve noticed something that I think I should share. Now that the webcam is back, I realize just how badly I need a haircut. PreacherHair™ is in full effect. Please, sweetie, call Cynthia today and make an appointment or I’m gonna start thumpin’ Bibles again!

The LawverCam is back! Thank you, WebCam2000 and AOLserver!

Here’s wishing everyone an early Happy Kwanzaa.

I have the next several days off. I’m not coming in to work next week, and most of the next one. We’re going to paint the basement, and hopefully put together my new computer (if the case ever shows up).

Work is a ghost town today. There are two of us on my row. My Buddy List is looking a little lean. Yes, it’s Holiday Time, and no one wants to work.

I’ve spent the last two months being incredibly busy at work. I got about a dozen project dumped on me all at once. I’ve finished all of them that need finishing. One’s in QA now, which means I get to sit around waiting for bug reports, do something when I get them, redeliver, rinse, repeat.

What does that mean? It means I don’t have a lot to do at this very moment. As you can see, I spent about 20 minutes redesigning the site. I think the rest of the day will be used either surfing or shopping. I can’t decide.

Who decided that keeping the work environment at 80 degrees farenheit and with 75% humidty was a great way to get people to be productive? I’m coming in a swimsuit, tanktop and flip-flops tomorrow.

It wasn’t as good as last year. I got us totally lost getting there. I hate driving in DC. I think the streets were laid out by dropping a bunch of tinkertoys on a map and calling it a day. To go about 80 miles roundtrip, we went 125. We went across the Key Bridge four times going, and thankfully only once on the way home (I swallowed my pride and bought a map on our second trip through McLean).

Ok, other than getting absolutely lost, the party was a little flat compared to last year. All the bands were lame cover bands with a slight twist. There were slight cover bands in techno, swing, blues and funk. They all covered the same songs. I think they were actually the same bands with one different instrument. Weird.

The rooms were themed with colors instead of actual themes. Last year, they did TV Shows, which rocked. The themes were actually themes, and each room had different things to do in it.

I’m praying that next year, they move the party back out to the suburbs to a larger location like last year.

Have you ever left something undone so long that now the the thought of doing whatever it was that was left undone is now twice as unpleasant as it was before? That’s how I feel about my “vacation beard”. I was going to let it grow for a week, just to see what happened. That week grew into two, which is now up to three. It’s thick enough that I know hardware other than a bic shaver will have to be involved. It will be electric, silver and noisy. I will likely try to do it in the morning, half awake. I will most likely leave a large patch of shubbery on my face and not notice it until I get to work. You now know the source of my fear. Pray for me.

How can you tell your sinus infection is gone?
