Top Ten Tuesday!

Albeit I did forget what 'plan' I was on I think I've gotten quite good at finding things to do at work while the 'work' part is on the light side. If I really thought about it 99% would be internet related but I'll try and reach beyond that.

10. Write thank you notes or letters or mail things in general. The fact that the postal system still exists for more than just online ordering and package delivery is fascinating enough to actually use it. And who doesnt' love an actual letter these days? Although I do prefer typing over writing cuz i'm faster, you can actual read the result, and you get that pesky little writing bump on my ring finger. Thanks a lot third grade penmenship competitions Jill Middaugh always won.

9. Get coffee. This is why this actually exists, to kill time and create social situations. Not cuz it actual tastes that great.

8. Go to the gym. Ok it might not be glaringly obvious that this is routine for me, I could look much worse if I didn't. An hour at the gym is one less at the desk.

7. IM about the person next to me to the person behind me. I think this is why gtalk was invented, to talk about people in different cubes with people in different cubes without the rest of them knowing about it. LOL. Cackle cackle. They get it.

6. Clean up desk. Yeah maybe I don't need whatever this is I can't remember for...

5. Read Express. I love short blurbs of information, I don't know if it's our growing generation of ADD victims or what, but I can't handle the long winded versions of stuff I don't really care about anyways.

4. Let's follow that up with Soduko in the Express. You know, when I'm on break...

3. Check email, check email, check other email account, then repeat. You know, just incase I miss that email about $2 off scrubbing bubbles or that DSW is having yet another sale.

2. Photoshop fun! What better exercise for your marketable skills than photoshopping heads on other bodies and the like? None I tell you, none!

#1! Blog! Oh you knew that was coming!

Here we are again,
Another brilliant work week beginning! Mine started with a near heart attack as the Dora the Explorer alarm clock my now 7 year-old has rejected woke me up with a shrill "Vominos!!" Which is the most inhumane way of waking up a person. I'm not surprised she wanted this thing OUT of her room and took my awesome blowfish alarm clock in it's stead. Well played daughter, well played.

The weekend provided us with a few inches of snow, which really normally for most areas doens't mean much, but people decided around me that they needed to (again) protect 'their' parking spaces with random items such as patio chairs, lounges, and styrofoam buggie boards. I honestly debated parking directly over that last one just to prove a point. It made some sense when people did this the time we had 2 feet of snow, but it rendered a little patheticness this time around -not to mention the jazzy condo newsletter spelled out specifically NOT to do this and mentioned patio lounges.

Well, I got some interesting news. The husband is going to CA for work in 2 weeks which means, I HAVE to go. The 'have to' being, I will not allow him to go without me. It's my chance to see what the west coast is like, maybe even work in the west coast office for a few days and see how that goes. I don't want to get my hopes up but BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER!!!! I'm sure my kid will freak and not agree, but I want her to know it's okay to do things just for you sometimes...plus she can't miss anymore school or social services will be calling me. So everyone cross your fingers for me!! CAli!!!!!!
