Today at work, I read the news online. And I don't mean that a half hour before I left I read a nytimes piece about Obama. No, I mean from noon until now the most I accomplished was drinking a cup of tea that I didn't even make. I did write a short piece and copyedit several articles but that was all done in two hours. Since I had so much freetime, I went and sat in the nearby park for lunch. (I must mention that while I was paying for my sandwich at the bagel place, who let the dogs out was playing... I know.) Anyway, in the park, after spilling my fanta, I saw a woman carrying a plastic Harry Potter broomstick. I thought she was going to try taking off right in front of me.
I then returned to the office where the YMCA was playing. It was just a day of excellent music. I did manage to figure out that the blue recycling bins filled with paper actually are the trash cans. Success! Now I can stop carrying my trash around with me everywhere. I should also mention that the person whose desk I'm sitting at has these post-its attached that read "u the best!" and "u rule...". On the upside, I feel great about myself every time I sit down.
Okay, I'm going to sit here patiently for a little while longer. Maybe I'll get to leave soon since there isn't anything more for me to do today.

Nicola (Dawn's mother) is going to London next week. I will give her a call. Do you need anything delivered?
ReplyDeleteIf you are terribly bored I can send you stuff to edit. Everytime I start to have hope of only have 2 or 3 things to work on.....in coming. I don't even see them coming anymore. Moments ago I received an email to review the coral reef implementation plan. How can I say no? Seems timely with a new initiative in the South Pacific/Inidan Ocean recently announced. Still, we just need more people.
Your other alternative is to make news. In a week or two that will happen. Then on your letter of recommendations will read "She's a self starter." or "Ms. C. has sense of the latest trend or breaking news story." Love you send me your copy when you can. I plan to print off our blog for the meme's to read.
