Alright, I think I found the perfect solution. Books on the computer! Looks like I am reading things for work, but yet I can get completely lost in a good book. The Da Vinci Code is the current one... at this rate I will be done by the end of the day!

I am on a hunt for things to do at work.

It sounds like a strange request but a large part of doing on site support, is sitting on site, and waiting for things to go wrong. If nothing goes wrong, I have nothing to do. Yes, I get paid for this.

So here is the problem. I am going stir crazy. I sit in one place, I don't have an internet connection, I need something to keep me entertained. Anyone have any suggestions? I am looking for things that wont make it look like I am doing non work things, but that will at lease keep my mind doing something.

Help me please!
Hrmm.

I just came across someone else's blog. Not anyone I know, but all she did was rant and rave about grammar and had written an article "Eats, Blogs and Leaves." I figured that it was a spin off from the book that is out now, maybe this author and that were one and the same. So I started reading her blog, only to discover that no, she is not the author of the book, and no, she is also not the author of many others. She would like to be a writer one day, but in the mean time has not been able to come up with an idea of her own. It appears that everything that she wrote about was a spin off from someone else's thoughts.

Maybe it is time for her to worry less about other peoples grammar, and spend some more time trying to be original.

Letter writing is so under rated (says the girls writing in a blog...)
"In the quiet misty morning, when the moon has gone to bed, wjen the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is clear and red, when the summer's ceased its gleaming, when the corn has past its prime, when adventure's lost its meaning, I'll be homeward bound in time.Bind me not to the pasture; chain me not to the plow. Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to your somehow.

If you find its me your missing, if you're hoping I'll return, to your thoughts I'll soon be listening; in the road I'll stop and turn.

Then the wind will set me racing as my journey nears its end, and the path I'll be retracing when I'm homeward bound again. Bind me not to the pasture; chain me not to the plow. Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you somehow. In the quiet misty morning, when the moon has gone to bed, when the sparrows stop their singing, I'll be homeward bound again."

Amazing how songs that you sang in high school choir can suddenly have such relevent lyrics.
