Things have exploded around here. Like a hail storm of crazy busy. I’m speaking of my full time job in particular. Which has always afforded me the luxury of being able to read all your fine blogs, and even write posts for mine “during my lunch hour”. But a recent tidal wave of actual work has flooded me out for the past 2 weeks, and will likely continue for at least 2 more.
I’ve considered speaking to my Boss about the unfairness of my own personal time being infringed upon during work hours, but Willie persuaded me against it. So, as I struggle to keep up with the mountain of paper, files, month-end reports and license agreements that are taking over my life, I will leave you with a few brief items;
# 1 – I’m ecstatic to report that we have found a loving home for our stinky poopy asthma trigger guinea pig. I’ll be dropping him off today and entrusting him to the care of a 12 year old girl who is beside giddy to be adopting him. Good riddance bye little fella (note to self – don’t get sucked into buying another pet for a very long time).
# 2 – I have finally managed to install the “Google Friend Connect” widget on my non-Blogspot site (it’s over on the right hand side about half way down). This was no easy task and some sleep may or may not have been lost. Super smart girlfriend and Angelina Jolie look-alike, Salt, helped me out and I’m forever grateful. She’s presently my only friend. See what you can do about that, will ya? The first hundred people to join get absolutely nothing! Cheers.
# 3 – In the theme of “embrace your demons” (and my current demons being intensely increased office work), I have planned a special tour for you tomorrow. If you “join this site” on my fancy-pantsy new Friend Connect thingy (see point # 2) I will happily give you a tour of my office desk. And I’m talking about a CANADIAN office desk here folks. Bet you’ve never seen one of those before.
Ok. See you tomorrow?

Busy at work – hate when that happens!! Glad you got rid of the guinea pig – they tend to smell a bit. Great that you installed the Google Friend Connect thingy, one of my favourite blogs, A Familiar Path, had moved the Google Friend thingy to her new non blogspot blog and it had broken – seems it’s rather tricky, I think she lost 300 subscriber – eek!
Looking forward to the tour, maybe one day I’ll post a tour of my desk here! Bet you’ve never seen a Scottish office desk either!!
Have a lovely day – hope it’s not too busy.

for some reason, the line “she is currently my only friend” made me crack up laughing. i think i’m deliriously tired or something. please show us pics of your canadian desk. i’ve never seen one! ha

oh Cripes. I know that busy thing all too damn well. And it really blows when it interferes with the blogging time. Which can be a full time job in itself.
I am your friend now, too. Hey, did you ever get a refund for that lame shipping? I filled out the document and sent it in right away.

That Salt is such a smarty-pants!! And I hear ya on being busy… I’m with you!

I was totally going to ignore your Google friend connect but who can resist a tour of a Canadian office desk? Not me!

I’m your friend. What’s my prize?
Oh, a canadian desk tour? Hmm..ok, that’ll do.

I know *exactly* how you feel. I’m currently doing the work of three people. Not even exaggerating here. It’s exhausting.

Okay, I’ve added you on the friend connect thing but only because of the effort you went to to get it there.
I used to read blogs every morning before work.. then my boss put some thing in that blocks blog sites.. now I don’t get to work so early no more.
But busy days make them go quicker, so enjoy the busy times.
