In an effort to be more dedicated to this blog, I’ve decided to try to allocate some time every work day to pontificate a little bit on the state of the world and my quite exciting life (not sure if the sarcasm is coming through over cyberspace). This means that the time that I usually devote to refreshing ESPN.com and walking around looking for snacks will be reduced by about 15 minutes a day (which still leaves me with about 5 hours and 45 minutes to refresh ESPN.com and walk around looking for snacks).

*Ok, so I just typed the above 10 minutes ago, because I got a phone call asking for information and had to walk over to another coworker’s cube to answer a question. How dare they ask me to work while I’m here in the office!*

Well, that leaves me with less than 5 minutes to post today’s entry before I have to snap up my belongings and head down to the shuttle — which is always the best part of my day. I will stay long enough to tell you that the extended battery on my work laptop that I ordered a few days ago arrived today, so I’m happy to report that the back of my computer now has a huge bulge. Huge bulges excite me. Morever, I have a black IBM Thinkpad, so the bulge is black. Huge, black bulges excite me even more. I plan on going home, recharging the thing, and then lying on my bed staring at my battery meter before I drift happily to sleep.

I also ate lots of cookies today. You can see how fulfilling my life is. And with that, my fifteen minutes is up! Comments, please?
