Bored. Just a Little.

So it's 3:00 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon, and I'm sitting at work... bored. Now, let me tell you why I'm enjoying this: MY JOB DRIVES ME NUTS. Sometimes. Well, a lot of the time. And I guess it's not necessarily my job or the people I work with, it's the money-makers in the office - the people I work FOR - that drive me nuts. I won't go into too much detail, but for those who are not already aware, I work in a law office - specifically with the IP (Intellectual Property) group. I call them the science nerds. While extremely brilliant at what they do, trying to keep up with all their individual (and often fussy) preferences can make me want to cut my toes off and hide around corners with a sling-shot and bean them with my bloody digits.

Sooooo... I'm actually enjoying the boredom today. I'm all caught up on my workload - ahead, even. So I've been wasting time on Facebook and worked (ha ha) through my lunch hour so I can leave a little early today and hit a spin class at the gym on my way home. What better way to end my boring - but a little relaxing - day than to sit on a bike that was probably originally designed as a torture device for an hour and pedal my butt off?


OUCH. It's a good workout, though, and I'm tubby enough right now to REALLY need it. So I'm going twice a week. Double ouch.

I can't even imagine climbing onto that thing, let alone spending an hour twice weekly balancing on it. Kudos and much respect.

sling-shotting your bloody digits... wow. Every once in a while you catch me off guard, Meloo. Makes me wonder if anyone *really* has a clue who you are... you're not going around killing people and making skin suits out of them, are you? ;)

She seemed like a completely normal person, until one day we looked in her closet and then BAM! Skeleton city!
