I played volleyball for three hours today, and did sudoku for two. In work. I have the mother of all slack-off jobs. AIFG.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't remember how I used to slack. I know I did. It's personal policy to not regularly engage over 65%, so I have lots of room to improve when the crunch is on.
I drew more, I bet. But that can't have been all.
Whatever it was -- not memorable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I did have a temp job answering phones once where I opened the credenza and it was FULL of romance novels. I can't remember if there was internet there/then, though. I'm thinking no.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm sure it felt like real time, too.
Heh. Not at all. That's not only one of my favorite books, it was one of my favorite reading experiences.

I'm currently on a conference call that has an internet component -- I feel very fancy! And yet still slacking. I am a multi-tasker for sure.

Writing fic is a great way to slack when there's no computer. Notebooks in the purse are very useful.

Before I began working on offices, I remember slacking on jobs by way of hijinks. And possibly getting high off heavy metal cleaners. These things may have been interrelated.

move out and draw fire
All my jobs up until a couple years ago were slack-tastic. I wrote games, wrote stories, drew comics, and read read read read read.
Roald Dahl question: He was a fighter pilot in the African theater? And crashed in the desert? Or am I confusing him with St.-Exupery?
the White House said Tuesday that President Bush continues to have confidence in Karl Rove
Isn't this exactly what he said about Rumsfield after Abu Ghraib?

So I suggest creating an email list to a group, driven mainly by the fact that one member CONSISTENTLY does not reply to all and sometimes replies to the wrong email entirely and because I'm sick of typing out 5 different addresses in my software (and it is stupid software that doesn't have an addressbook.)
And that ONE MEMBER replies that he doesn't think it is necessary. The one who hasn't gotten it right ONCE this week.

Yes, and yes. He survived the crash (obviously) and just got clear before the plane caught on fire. It's in his book Solo.
