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?
