Sabbatical

I’ve been jobless for a whole week now. Several people have asked, what are you doing with yourself?? To be honest – I have no earthly idea, but I seem very, very busy. Here’s a sample of my activities:  

• Looking for shoes. Ever since I started wearing this damn boot – I’ve lost every single left-footed shoe I own.
• Bugging the crap outta Rita. "What are you doing now?" Working. "How about now?" Working.
• Not one single thing around the house. Sabbatical or no, the streak remains unbroken.
• I am going to need you people to step up your facebook activity since I am now checking it on the 8’s….[9:28, 9:38, 9:48…it makes me feel connected].
• My to-do list has gotten significantly less ambitious. I caught myself adding “Check voicemail” as a to-do item.
• Molly’s already charmed life has gotten about three walks a day better.
• I sent a birthday card on time for the first time in my life.
• I spent one regretful hour participating in an on-line discussion regarding the Titan’s best 3rd round draft pick. [It seemed important at the time.  BTW, it's clearly Zach Piller.]
• I suddenly have the attention span of a 3 year old. One airline reservation took me almost two hours to book yesterday…I looked up car deals and the weather and mapquested the location. These are things I usually do at the airport before the flight takes off (if I do them at all).

Good thing I am going to Vegas (for CPA continuing education) on Monday so I can be productive [if standing around a craps table losing money counts as being productive, that is].
