Snag, I find the underreporting of Fantasy stats checking disturbing. If you are hiding that, what else is there????
4:15 Look in desk for bourbon.
I saw no mention of bourbon...
Duh, I just saw fish's comment, except it should have been, '
9:15 Look in desk for bourbon.
Snag, you ignore the insults?
Huh.
I once had a tagalong on a day when I was meeting with Civil Engineers to discuss drainage of an 11 acre site.
150 minutes. Of drainage-talk.
I'm betting she found a different career path about three minutes after leaving the office.
Oh, and go with the cheeseboiger. Especially if you're going to spend 90 minutes on it.
And how do you get away with only deleting spam once a day? LUCKY!
Plus, ditch the Diet Coke and go with fish's Pepsi Max. It's got truckstop speed in it!!
How did the snack search go?
personally, I'm impressed with how much work you got done. I hope your family appreciates you.
Yep. That about sounds like my day expect I bang head and Blackberry on desk when micro managing co-worker talks to me.
Discuss how genius is unnoticed during lifetime.
I will be on the park bench next to you, muttering under my breath as I feed imaginary pigeons.
.... without pants.
I'm sorry more people don't read your blog, but I'm planning on using 'one more nail in the coffin of a day that was better off dead' and if my friends read you they would know I stole it.
