yes boss, i understand boss, no blogging on the job boss.

what do i do in the morning, immediately after checking my email, voicemail and assorted death threats (invariably scrawled in blood)? I check the lunchblog. See if someone got up early and posted some form of witty dialogue that I could proudly reply "me too" to (ha, like a ballerina) or if there was something that I should look for in my surroundings before I responded in kind. Alas, not working in Washington, I apparently have to be to work at a reasonable time in the morning and I usually must wait patiently for the post to be posted.

By patiently, I mean that immediately following the completion of each daily task or meeting, I refresh the browser and pray for a new posting.

Which brings me to today (ha, like a ballerina). Pissed at myself for passing out during 24 last night, I didn't get a chance to write up a post for today, thus reserving a few more minutes for the work I am paid for during the day. Oh tragedy, oh opportunity, the blog was down.

I cannot be blamed for not posting something witty and full of NSFW pictures or links now!

But.

What do I now do with all this free time that not reading and responding to the lunchblog provides me? Will I get more work done? Will I burn out quicker? Will today be finally the day that I snap? Better yet…

What about you? What activities do you skip during the day that you will now have the opportunity to do with the lunchblog unavailable? And of course,
WFL?

Hey Y'all. Many thanks to the blog lifeguards. I feel like an 8 year old from Camden who can't swim, but goes in the deep end anywise. You saved me.

Lunch today was a box from Wasabi Sushi. I think I had a yellow tail roll, a salmon roll, an avocado roll, a green pepper roll of some sort, and then 6 pieces of fancy sushi. Man it was great.

Lunch was cottage cheese and tomatoes. Boring, but delicious.

Well ... I had to order down to Jason's ... so the fixing of the blog was done during the lunch hour ... appropo huh?

So I had to suffer the dry nastiness of Jason's sandwich and fruit.

Oh well ... I'm not productive without the blog... like M, it fits into my day and provides me with stress relief.
