Screeching halt...

All of my work came to a screeching halt today... I am waiting on folks to review work and give me comments, waiting on analysts to get stuff done, waiting for conference calls with client to gather more information... in the interim, I find myself today with nothing to do, twiddling my thumbs and I'm finding it really really hard to sit still. I'm utterly restless... I absolutely have no idea what to do with free time when I get unexpected free time. Anyone else feel like this?

Yeah, well I started this thread and I freakin' jinxed myself!!!!!! Rats. Rats. Rats...

Never complain. Never complain. If it's quiet... don't pick up the phone... don't pick up the phone.

Next time I'm going to learn to enjoy a nice sunny day and not get paranoid.

Sigh.

 
  • pick out names for our children
  • look for the next vacation after Bali
  • find me a birthday present that can easily be shipped to England
 

Can't. I'm sorry Sean-Cee... yesterday perhaps. Today I've met someone else. He doesn't deserve me. But I've met someone else and he's dreamy.

 

Distinctio in quas et quae. Dolores itaque dolorum sit quo qui. Quia blanditiis expedita id eius recusandae dolore voluptatum. Facere natus repellendus laboriosam eaque repudiandae.
