The non entry

[susandennis]

Was it Murphy or his cousin who's law covers the deal when you have lots to write about but no time left to write and when you have nothing but spare time to write, the content is a snoozer?

But, things are perking up. I have a little work task I'm saving for the baseball game tonight. And one of my favorite clients came back from vacation today and sent email about wanting to set up a purchase order so she can have more of my time. And the project manager said she had just finished up and sent in a bid on a new project for me. So... it will get better.

And, it was cool enough today back in the fish room to get some good reading use out of the fish bed. Until I got the light installed in the ceiling, reading back there wasn't worth the trouble to hunt down a lamp to see by, remember to get the phone extension, etc. Now I can just grab my book and scooch up the rheostat and I'm in for some comfy reading. It has so turned out to be exactly the place I wanted it to be.

The phone actually did ring. The desk chair lady finally called me back. I'm off to see her tomorrow at 3. And when I went to put that on my calendar, I discovered that tomorrow is the day I'm having lunch with my friend, Patty. I worked with Patty at the dot com that went under. Then she went home to Chicago and went to library school and now she's back but I don't think she's librarying. But, I'll find out for sure tomorrow.

And, happily, before I could even get this entry launched, I got a call from a client who's been out for a month and he's got some stuff for me to do!!

Is that Alf wearing a tie?

[susandennis]

Yes, Ms. Sharp Eye. Alf is sporting the neck tie I won years ago in a golf tournament. I won it for Highest Score. I was quite a golfer back in the day. But, you know, I'll betcha I could beat that Highest Score today if I really set my mind to it. Alf doesn't need another tie, though.

That is so cool. You have an Alf with a tie in a fish room. Can I be you? :) Well without the golfing part? I can't even Putt-Putt golf well.

[susandennis]

You can be me for the golfing part, too.... High Score. Think about it. Really.

It was a corporate event. I went for the beer.

Oh my friends do that all the time because it's better than work. I introduced two work friends and they are now golf tournament buddies. They went on a golf thingie last week and one of them fell out of the golf cart. I wish I had seen that.

I don't know who made up that law, but I agree with it.

Back in the day when I was in college, I did not have a car so I rode the local city bus to school. My first class was English 102 at 8:30 am, but to get there on time I had to take a bus that got me to school at 7:15 am. Since there was a three-page paper due at the beginning of every class, and being the expert procrastinator that I am, I got in to the habit of writing my papers that were due for the class in the hour I had to kill before class. I got perfect As on every paper I wrote for that class *except one*. And that one is the one time I was bored over a weekend and wrote Monday's paper on Saturday and Sunday and took my time doing it.

Ha! I knew there was a law.
