So Bored
I work for a creative firm, we're small, just four people, and we are either HOLYSHIT busy or we are OHMYFREAKINGOD slow. Today is of the OHMYFREAKIN' variety. I've read all my blogs, and found some new ones (waiterrant for one and postsecret for another). I installed some software on our server, which i had managed to put off doing for weeks. I've compulsively checked my email. over. and over. and over. I should have taken a long lunch like my cohorts are presently doing. Stupid me! Our boss isn't here either, which makes it even more painful to remain in our little rolly chairs. staring at a monitor. That refuses to entertain us. Poke. Entertain me, dammit! Poke.
I'm trying to avoid all the amazons and jcrew and other shopping sites because all that would do is surprsie me next week when boxes start showing up on our doorstep. "whatha?... oh. yeah, i was bored last week." This involved not just one single box from one single vendor. There were two. Sad really. Anyways, i realize that retail therapy is no cure for boredom. I don't really NEED new stuff. I'm actually still paying off some of the old new stuff. And we're having a yard sale this weekend to get rid of the old old stuff. You know, the stuff that was new but now it's not and it's taking up valuable space where NEW NEW stuff could go? (seriously if you're going to be in the neighborhood, stop by, maybe i should get some baked goods and soda to sell! we'll pimp out our little girl for the sympathy factor)
There are many things I'd rather do than sit here and stare at my stupid, although very nice, flat-panel 21-inch monitor. I guess I'll just go see if there's any more gossip on perezhilton.com. blech.
