The boss decided we'd stay open today. The phone rang twice. I know what his reasoning is. He doesn't want to pay me for taking a day off. So, he's paying me to sit at my desk, stalk DU and use up electricity and heat.

I'm soooooooooooooooo BORED! 2 hours left! I found/ordered stuff from Amazon with the giftcards I got. FB is boring. I've read all I can read about what's going on in the real world. I even did some much needed research on some games.



I guess I can use this opportunity to wish you all the very best. Some of you have had some rough times in '12. My wish goes out to all of you first.

1. You can't go to sleep yet.

The first two below should give you something to do.

2. I love those!

Thank you! The third one, at the beginning, reminded me of 'Something Wicked This Way Comes'.

Happy New Year, ITW!!!

3. Ms Lawson does nice work.

Saw some of it a few years back, but I lost the link to it.

Anyway, very tasteful, and thanks for posting.

4. A couple of weeks ago we had a virus shut down our office server

(it deleted our main drive with all of our drawings on it.) So, for the rest of that day, and the first half of the following day, none of us could even turn our computers on. Thankfully, I had my Kindle and my Cowon, so I could read and listen to music.

I got a lot of reading done

You could always go to the Project Gutenberg site and read some classics while you wait. Also, go to the Internet Archive for music and movies

6. Holy cow!

I never knew such a site existed! I'm not exaggerating when I say it brought tears to my eyes. Our local library is awful. I love reading 'classics', but it's so difficult to find something that won't annoy me (like Hemingway) without actually buying the book first. So many titles!!! International titles!

Thank you!!!

9. You're welcome!

There are quite a few archives out there for all kinds of genres. Someone in the Science Fiction forum posted a link sometime back for the Baen archive of Science Fiction. On either that site or another (this is the other site: Free Speculative Fiction Online) I downloaded all of the A.E. van Vogt titles when I went there

Happy New Year, eh!

[bluesbassman]

5. I KNEW you were a slacker!

You should be cleaning out the coal scuttle, filling up all the ink pots, and polishing the spitoons!

But seeing as how you're wasting the day here on DU, Happy New Year my friend!

[Wait Wut]

7. LOL!

Funny you should mention it...the boss left just after 3...and turned the heat off for the 'holiday'.

I'm sitting here with my damned coat on watching the temp on the thermostat plummet.

Happy New Year to you! Any NY gigs?

[bluesbassman]

8. Gee, what a peach.

No, no gig tonight. My guitar player has been ill for a while so we're kind of laying low. At this point I'm more concerned about him than playing out. Keep your fingers crossed for him.

[Wait Wut]

10. My best to him.

It sounds like something serious. My constant state of denial tells me that he'll be back sooner than you think.

[bluesbassman]

11. Thanks, I certainly hope so.

He's a great guy besides being a talented guitarist.

14. The curse of the cheap boss.

Hope those 2 hours fly by for you.


All the best in 2013!
