empty office. entertainment needed.
« on: October 25, 2004, 09:30:00 am »
so, i think most folks know i'm a lefty that works for a lefty organization.  my organization sent just about everyone to swing states to work on the election.  some of us were left back here till this friday to "hold down the fort."
 
 ok, when all but like 6 of your staff are gone, there's really not all that much of a fort to be held down.
 
 so i'm sitting here, alone in a floor of empty cubes and offices in a building that usually has hundreds and now has barely dozens.  i think i'll explore online chat and other entertainment options.  (i also brought my knitting with today).
 
 i'm taking nominations for time wasters and the like.  they must be non-pornographic and must not take up too much bandwith, lest i should get caught.

well there a billion blogs out there some which are worthy time wasters!
 
 i'm trying to ween myself off my dailykos.com addiction of last week.
 
 if you are interested in what an ex-pat with kids is doing in paris then checkout my sister in-law's blog at parisdaily.hi-fipop.com
 
 and for the knitter in you there is a whole knitting  blogging community... my sister in-law sister also living in france has a blog at louknits.prettyposies.com/

:p  to you for that.  
 
 I was knitting on Metro a while ago and actually had someone ask if i was pregnant.  that hardly suggests that it's becoming popular.

Fuck "the fort."  Go out drinking for the day.  Start now.

dood.  if only.  i have to be at my desk.  in case something happens.  
 don't ask me what might happen.  
 but something might.  
 you know, something.
 
 but i haven't done a decent trackstand yet.  though i'm getting close.  i'm still trying to master riding down the parking garage ramp without brakes and under control.  that's a toughie.

Why not have your significant other for a nude romp around the office?
