Blog, Schmog, Glob

"aint no mountain high enough
aint no valley low enough
aint no river wide enough
to keep me from getting
to you ba-bay - Diana Ross? Tina Turner? (too lazy to verify)

So i spent the whole day yesterday blogxploring, and now i feel guilty! I'm afraid my boss will write "irresponsible" on my appraisals.

It is for this very reason that i abandoned facebook.

You see, i'm not cut out for the jobs where one sits in front of the system all day, it's against my configuration!

So after a few weeks at this job, i started spending a lot of time OFF my seat, which my boss complained about.

Now that i've discovered blogger, i'm ON my seat but not doing what i should, eesh!

is it by sitting on one spot that u know who is hardworking and who isnt? "nonsense and concobility"

Your boss seems to think sitting at your desk is productive in itself. So, I'll sit and try to look busy. Some people are just very good at looking busy while they do nothing,lol. (can't say I'm good at it though)

BTW Diana Ross did the song.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you're having a good weekend.

Your boss seems to think sitting at your desk keeps you busy. So I'll sit and try to look busy. Some people are just good at it, lol.

Specific 'timeouts' might help with the blogger addiction. I'm thinking of trying it out myself.

lol...yeah...i too hate jobs where i have to sit in front of a machine all day...my mind drifts far too easily and access to internet only serves to fuel the drifting...afrobabe should be able to offer some helpful tidbits, as she seems to have mastered the whole blog thing...don't get fired o!!!...

LOL!! Ditto, I do the exact same thing. I sit my butt at my desk, spread "important papers" all around the desk and pick up the phone every now and then and say "let me look into that for you" to the dial tone.
Sometimes I even make a stop to the office down the hall to drop off some "important files".

Jennifer A. said...

Lol...nonsense and concobility??? Ha ha...

I admit blogger is addictive...facebook is worse!!! Facebooking shd be avoided, esp during company time (better said than done, pointing fingers @ moi...he he).

Most of the time i try and avoid computers generally.
Once i sit in front of one i, i cant seem to get up.


Take now for instance.
I'm supposed to be working. I've got this dead serious expression on my face like i'm in a meeting with DOnald Trump.

But within i've got this ridiculous smile like i'm having a chat with some lovely gorgeous cyber dame called Smaragd...

PCD (Pretty Circle Drawer) said...

blogging is so addictive...writing AND reading! watch out! :-P

Anonymous said...

you can say that again girl. Im not the very patient "sit on your sit and work" type either. Facebook must be the anti christ or something close to it. Not seen any social application that addictive yet. You go girl, do what you have to do jare doesnt make you lazy or... does it?

Jinta said...

years ago, one of my bosses told me: 'its not what you do, its the perception that counts' - that's becos i was always lounging in my chair after doing double the work of everyone else. guess what? i slackened and got the perception thing right, and it took me places

Smaragd said...
