Bored. Bored. Bored. Bored.
This is one of the slowest days I have had at work in a long time, punctuated with annoying conversations with a vendor, one that is completely unwilling to accept responsibility and work together on a project. Woof.
Come on beer cart. I'll need a margarita this afternoon.
After my lunch - maybe I'll branch out of my Gmail, facebook and puppy web searching and find something more interesting. photography blogs maybe?
I think that would be a good start.
Happy Friday :)
