So, what have I to blog about?

I love to read blogs. They're addictive and you get to peek into other people's lives even though they're the ones showing them off. I guess it's only fair then that I start my own blog. I asked KB, "So if I had a blog, what would I talk about?" And she came up with all sorts of interesting topics, but I don't know if this will really pan out. Maybe I'll blog a couple of times, but then things will get busy and I'll keep putting it off until google sends me an email saying yoo-hoo? if you don't blog we're cutting you off.

But ok, let's give it a shot. Speaking of cutting you off, that's what my boss asks me every Friday around 4 p.m.--"So when are you cutting me off?" What that means, is when is the last moment she can give me files to process before I produce her precious weekly report. The weekly is a report that shows our progress and compares it with the last 4 years of data we have for the same week. I don't mind producing this report because right now, we're doing fabulously. But I like the idea of my boss asking me what time she's cutting me off because what it really means, is what time would I like to get the weekend started. When I cut her off, I get to let the files pile up, hide unfinished work in a bottom drawer, and kick my feet up and surf the internet. When 5 o'clock rolls around I'm out of there.

Which gives the impression that I have wild weekends or something. But no, weekends are for relaxing, and weekends are for recharging my batteries. I feel like I'm constantly sleep deprived, but even on weekends I don't manage to sleep in much. This weekend, I took a nap, which is something I haven't done in months, I know because I mentally went over every last weekend and couldn't think of a time when I was able to nap.
