Marking Time

1. My job is more interesting when I view it as something to do to get me out of the house on a cloudy Monday afternoon. (I denied the appeal on two different grounds.)


2. My office computer asked me to install some new software. I'm torn: some of it requires a restart, and my computer has been up for 45 days.

   

   It reminds me of when I was a kid and we would drive by the Remington plant and look at the sign about how many days since the last on-the-job accident. Maybe if the machine crashes some time this summer, then I'll install the software.


3. My car was due for an oil change in March. Now that it's summer, I have no excuses.
