So, Today is Wednesday...

Let's see, what can I post about?

Oh, today is Jayne's birthday! Wait. Sparkle already did that, and much more creatively than I have the brainspace for right now. (My mind is currently on a constant loop of "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" now for some odd reason...)

I went to the grocery store this morning and...nothing really interesting happened.

I think my scurvy might be coming back. Don't know why--I've been consuming the recommended daily intake of Pop Tarts and Diet Coke.

La de dah...

Yeah. I'm just Magooin' around, trying to come up with something to say. I should be doing work right now, since I'll be stuck in a conference call for part of the afternoon.

Unlike a lot of folks, I don't really mind face-to-face meetings, as long as they accomplish something (and someone brings coffee and pastry). But I hate conference calls. It's always hard to focus on what people are saying, especially when you're the only one phoning in and the other folks on the call are all in the same room, speaking so they can hear each other but not necessarily so I can hear them and follow along.

I read an article last week that said something like 8 billion U.S. citizens (I'm making up a number, because I'm too lazy to look up the right one, but it was lots) have admit they shop online during conference calls. I haven't done that, because I could get distracted and end up buying something I don't want, like a non-jaunty hat. But I do browse the Web during calls.

Of course, sometimes I do behave and try to keep my mind on the conversation. That's when I take copious notes that I will refer to constantly. And by constantly, I mean never.

Today, I think I'll work on making a birthday card for Dan-El. Or, perhaps knit a new jaunty hat. And by knit, I mean browse the Web.

On second thought, hold all my calls. Let's watch the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre instead.
