A good, old fashioned hockey brawl for the afternoon.

Another goal met!

Nothing hits the spot like a free 2 1/2 hour alcohol included lunch. Now to kill time until the third goal...leaving early.

I Love Meetings.

This puts me into territory I never thought I'd reach. I'm actually posting an update. The day started out having to attend a meeting to go over someone's responsibilities so some other undecided person (read: definitely not me) can take over. Hey, at least we decided where to go for lunch. As such, I prepared like I do for all meetings: by not bringing anything to write on or with.

This isn't really something related to being transitioned out of the company, and speaks more to the realization some time ago that meetings are time murderers. I'm sure someone gets something done at them, but with so many other people taking notes...I just don't feel the need. Plus, on those rare occasions that I am assigned work (In the before time. The long long ago. When, you know, I had work to do. Bonk Bonk on the head...I digress) I just tell the person to email me what they want.

I like to think of it as those waiters and waitresses who wow and amaze the crowd by not writing down a party's food order. The only thing this really hampers is my ability to doodle geometric shapes.

Some real examples from my notebook. Contain your excitement.

Post 1: Where our Hero uses a Cliche Title Convention

So, here I am. Less than 40 days away from another date with unemployment. While technically this is the third time I've been "kindly" asked to leave this building, it will most definitely be the last. The last few times I haven't exactly been given a 6 month notice, but the last few times the company wasn't bought out, either.

So, what does an employee who finds himself with no responsibilities and a dangerously low motivation factor do during week after week of monotony? Well, the first thing is he stops coming in on time. My 8:05ish arrival time turns into a a 9:05ish arrival time. A lunch hour turns into lunch afternoons.

And finally, most time is spent finding someone else with nothing to do (not difficult) and talking about important things. (The upcoming fantasy football season, for example. It's a mere 7 months away!)

What will this blog entail? It will list my arrival and lunch times, things I've accomplished during the day, and overall goals I hope to achieve. I'm still playing with the format, but these may be found on the right somewhere. Finally, "humorous" and "insightful" things that I come across during the day which will probably only amuse me.
