Today, I woke up at 7:25, then 7:34, then 7:43 then 8:15 then 9:15 (because after I got up and got ready I was still too early to go to work since everyone else in the office was almost certainly going to be as hungover as I was, if not more so, since I wasn't very [ah the beauty of fancy drinks at a fancy bar that is totally out of your price range but paid for by bosses]). Then I came to the office -- still too early -- ordered a breakfast burrito, and was joined by my boss approximately two hours later. Then I wallowed, and waited, and answered about three phone calls (and a surprising number of hangups) and then it was lunch time. And then the finance guy who normally yells at everyone came up and sat on our couch reading Rolling Stone and some people watched an episode of Friends that had been cut into three pieces and posted on YouTube.

Although I do prefer the Jewish holidays (when our predominantly Jewish department more or less empties out) to days when things are crazy and the office is packed and everyone's having meetings and conference calls and so forth, I'm not so good at sitting in place for 10 hours doing practically nothing. But the ultimate good of this is that at least I HAVE a job or every day would be like a Jewish holiday and I'd sit in front of my computer for 14 hours a day and have even less human interaction and my laptop is older and slower than my work computer anyway. So at least there's that.

Update: I just introduced my boss to icanhascheezburger.com
