(Not) Working

It was fun to hang out with Tupins all weekend. I think we perfected the art of not working. She was here to work; that was the whole point of her visit. She scheduled Saturday with me a few weeks ago, so we could get a lot of work done. So we went to lunch. Then we saw a movie. Then we played games. So then it was too late and we officially rescheduled for Monday. Monday was fun. I remember Pizza and more fun, but no work. So definately (maybe) Presidents' Day weekend we'll work. Maybe we can work at lunch??

I like my job. I get a daily dose of warm fuzzies when I'm at work, and it is rather addictive. Don't get me wrong; its hard and crazy and sometimes I hate it. But altogether, it is a very rewarding job. (Especially this year because of WIIWizard) But some days it is hard to get into the groove. Usually it is when I have something I have to do, or should do, but I don't wanna do. On those days, I do one of two things.

1) Set my timer for 15 minutes and work as fast as I can at the task I'm procrastinating. This works great and I am always amazed at how much I can get done with this trick. This usually sets me up for an incredibly productive day at work, because I feel so great about tackling the daunting task, I just wanna keep on going.

2) Visit with my nearest office neighbor about what we are having for lunch that day. Talk about our kids. Talk about her husband. Talk about tv/movies. Fill up my water bottle at the drinking fountain. Go to the bathroom. Visit my other office neighbor. Talk about our kids. Talk about tv/movies. Surf the Internet. Read the paper. Discuss lunch again. By then, its about lunch time, so we have lunch. After lunch, we discuss lunch. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

I usually choose number one. (hahaha). Really. I do. (snort!) Uh huh. Number one is my pick. Number two is maaaaaybe twice a year (week). That's all. Really.
