All my bids are done, contracts are out and subcontracts mailed. No one is going to send us anything new until the New Year. I could stay home all week and it wouldn't matter except that the company frowns upon that sort of thing.
I can always straighten the stapler and tape dispenser again, I suppose.

They never looked good over there on the right side of the desk. Try the left.

Read: I am going to be posting a lot this week.
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
On a side note, I bought my kid a rock tumbler for Christmas and just read that it takes four weeks to grind a rock. OMGWTFR0XX0RZ???
We can put a man on the moon but we can't polish a rock in under a month? Apparently, the thing to do is to set the little noise machine (the tumbler, not the kid) in the garage for a month. I can't believe these things are still being sold after all these years. Still, rocks shall tumble!
Also, I got all excited to see one of those "Plug in the TV retro-game" thingies for Intellivision until I saw it has neither Utopia or any of the old AD&D games on it. Actually, the only good game it had was "Night Stalker". Bastards. No, I didn't buy one but they had no rights to get my hopes up like that.

Well that'll be a nice change of pace...Joph is usually such a wallflower.

Take it back! That's one of the most disappointing gifts I ever got. I'm still bitter about it. Do you want him to turn out like me? DO YOU!?!?!

Not to mention fill up all the paper trays on every copier, fax machine and printer in the office, sort the pens according to color, and fill up everyone's office supplies so they can start fresh for the new year!
Yeah, I'm bored at the office too.
Yeah, my kids gave me a rock tumbler a few years ago. Guess they had high hopes for all my dull rocks.
The rocks don't look anything like the rocks on the box when they're done.... and really how much more useful are shiny rocks than dull rocks.
But hey, there's the new EQplayers website you can browse around for distraction.
I, on the other hand, have more work than I care to think about this week.

I always wanted one when I was a youth and thought to vicariously relive my childhood by forcing him to grind rocks into worthless pieces of polished limestone. No one told me then (or now) that it took a friggin month to do it.

That cracks me up. And I thought I was a bad kid for giving my dad the same set of miniature screwdrivers each year.
Although, your daughter is in college, isn't she? She has no excuses.

I'm still at the office this week but most of my team is on vacation. However, the team leader is not on vacation and he just gave me more work to do, not to mention the fact that I'm covering daytime support for some of the on vacation people.
And then Thursday I'm picking up and moving halfway across the country with 3 cats in my car. Lovely.

OK, my car isn't THAT messy. The cats will be on sedatives for the trip. It worked pretty well last time except the part where you have to actually try to get a cat to take a pill. It's not easy at all!I actually had to refresh my memory as to the usage of fallow.
It seems as though not only does it stand for a period of inactivity, but more commonly a field that has been plowed but never seeded.
Go figure.

see....that's where I got confused. I thought you meant that the field had been seeded and you were just in a holding pattern.
Semantics is fun.
S'what I get for trying to be poetic with you Philistines. Next time I'll just say "I'm bored"

I had a rock tumbler as a kid, and I loved it. Only problem was that I ran out of polish for it pretty quickly and my parents never got me anymore. It made for a pretty useless noise machine.

You can dig through mine if it makes you feel any better. Check out my belt, it's awesome.

I'm pretty sure he wants to make out with you.
