Twiddling My Thumbs...


I’m not even sure what a “twiddle” is, but I think I’m doing it or I could be diddle-farting.  Diddle-farting seems more appropriate to what I’m actually doing, which is nothing except trying to look busy and fly under the radar.
Last week was crazy busy and today – nothing.  Ughhh…
So with that said, here is my to-do list for today:
  • Look for some cheap flights to somewhere - anywhere that’s warm in November (and cheap) will do nicely.
  • Update my resume.  My recent job prospect is asking for an updated resume.  Do you think I should list my accomplishments of reading e-books at work or my mad skills at time wasting skills.
  • Take an extra long lunch – maybe go the bookstore or mall.
  • Do some online shopping.
  • Organize my paper clips.  The “ribbed” ones need to be removed…I don’t like the way they leave marks on my paper.
  • Clean up the dust bunnies from behind my monitor.
  • Read some more of my e-book.
  • Bother everyone in my general vicinity.
As you can see, I have a busy day ahead, so I better get at it…wish me luck.

Kinda sounds like some of my days! The only problem is, when I have down time at work, I can't go to most websites! Boo. But yeah I have more free time than I would like but I still do love my job. We decided we want to go to Vegas since we have never been but I have had to look for trips on my home computer! :)

Good luck! It's hard to keep from going crazy when your whole day is about wasting time and looking busy.

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
