I've expertly delayed my lunch so that when i come back i will have just 2 hours left.

im also working monday and tuesday before having a week off so I'm not quite as anxious to leave as i might be

Half hour to go and my brain has collapsed.

I'm reading a book online about the kosovo liberation army.

two months pass...

Speaking of 'fritter': I think if you were to monitor the number of times food is mentioned across an eight-hour stretch of Food Network programming, my workplace might honestly give them a run for their money. The eating of various foods seems to be the sole and intense focus of 99.7% of all conversations I overhear in the office. Scintillating. Scintillating conversation.

I'm ready to go, y'all. It's time.

I was having a tremendously productive distraction free afternoon while working from home today and then a colleague from afar suggested a bunch of us jump on an agenda-free Friday afternoon chat session. Reader, I did not take the bait.

i think today was the most slackinest work day in decades. everybody's had enough.

Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 17 July 2020 23:18 (five years ago)

Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Friday, 31 July 2020 21:05 (five years ago)

this is the kind of job where keeping up appearances is important though so i don't want to risk leaving just yet, so 1 hour and 14 minutes to go

Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Friday, 31 July 2020 21:12 (five years ago)

people were still giving me work until pretty much 4:59 so joke's on me for using up two of my time-off-award hours and putting in my timecard early

sound of scampo talk to me (El Tomboto), Friday, 31 July 2020 21:30 (five years ago)

It's 3:46pm and I'm about to watch The Twelve Chairs, the only one I missed during my pre-teen Brooks phase. Feelin' middle school-y. Will it be over before Mom gets home?

Have to say, a lot of weekday afternoons feel like Friday afternoons of late.

Don't be such an idot. (Old Lunch), Thursday, 3 September 2020 18:50 (five years ago)

god i love quiet wasted afternoons where nothing is demanded of you but to stare at a screen for 4 hours

Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Thursday, 3 September 2020 18:52 (five years ago)

A couple weeks back 'Bang the Drum All Day' popped up while my iPod was shuffling and I just stopped working to dance for a few. It was righteous. Wish I'd had a lei to throw on or something.

I’m frittering until my 4pm meeting

sound of scampo talk to me (El Tomboto), Thursday, 3 September 2020 19:05 (five years ago)

chair-dancing or actual dancing in your cubicle is the bees knees. i do that in the morning sometimes. just keep my headphones on as i walk into work, sit down, drink coffee and my jam comes on.
