So what is it about this job that I love? Somedays (today included) I'm simply not sure. The prospect of sitting behind a desk for 10 hours a day has never appealed to me. Especially when I have nothing to do for those 10 hours. Like today. (Hears near silent ticking of the clock). No seriously, y'all. I have a real work ethic. It just doesn't kick in when there's no work. I've finished my research projects, my transfer memos and my filing. I think that means it's time for a coffee break...
