eating marl

i can’t say as i’ve done any work today. i started on a project which was promptly taken away for further review. i’ve read some websites. i’ve helped fill some cabinets. i’ve collected presents from the-just-returned-from-vacation debbie (a rubber palm tree keychain & florida lighter, if you must know). i’ve gone out for lunch & bought my winning lottery ticket. i’ve priced plane tickets to minneapolis. i came *this close* to ordering myself a copy of american gods, but held out for the paperback. i’ve killed time. a lot of time. i’m hip-deep in the bloody entrails of all the time i’ve killed this day.
my boss is away for three weeks, effective tomorrow. this means that i: 1) get his parking spot; and, b) won’t have him looking through his new office window at what i’m doing on my computer. it’s going to be a little iffy though with the construction moves looming overhead. sometime in the very near future they’ll be gutting our office, but without the boss around as an intermediary, i’m sure we’ll walk in one morning to an empty room full of demolition men. it just better not happen on a payroll day.
