This is my 3rd day at work this week where I've had nothing to do
I'd bring a book in, but that's just too obvious.

Maybe I'll take a walk around campus while my boss (I have 3 bosses but only one is in) is at a meeting. I can always tell him I have errands to run for one of the other bosses.

1. days like that make me mental

2. I have a 5 year old in my office
begging me to Google up Spiderman images. His actual words: "Google me up Spiderman, please?" Too funny...

Kids these days. :-)

This little guy can also color a picture in MSPaint and print it off all by himself. You really have to keep an eye on the ink cartridge when he's visiting. :-)

3. I hear ya
Things have been ultra-slow here for weeks too. I'm starting to hate this job. Too bad they pay me lots of money and will potentially pay me lots more if we can successfully sell my project.

5. Yesterday was like that here
We have to wait for information and specs and then its "How soon can we have output?" as soon as we get them. Our work is delayed for weeks at a time while they try to get what we need from the client, but deliverable dates are written in stone. Makes me @#$#$^#$% crazy sometimes!
