Monday AM coffee break

Just got confirmation from Corporate Travel for my itinerary for my training trip back to HDQ. It’s getting to be old hat, these jaunts back. Still don’t like ’em, but can’t complain too much. Telecommuting from Georgia is just too sweet a benefit and at least when they send me back, they shack me up in a luxurious suite (complete with a fireplace and kitchen!) and I get to visit old friends.

Weekend was quite productive and enjoyable. There were many chores done, and the looming necessity of having to don black vinyl fun-wear as my only clean clothes option for work has been unloomed.

Monday mornings are never great, but this is my short week, so I’ve only got to hang on until Thursday, and then it’s a three-day weekend. Huzzah.

I keep wondering if I should switch from my current 9/80 week to a 4×10. Except the appeal of having a three-day weekend every week instead of just every other week is mitigated by having to work ten hour days. Hrumph. Will continue pondering–undoubtedly indefinitely and will thereby just keep on keeping on with my current schedule.

    I believe I will now officially add “unloom” to my vocabulary. 😀

    It goes alongside other such nifty words as “obliviance” and unloom’s very close relative, “unthinged.”

    “I keep wondering if I should switch from my current 9/80 week to a 4×10.”

    Shouldn’t that be 9/80 every two weeks? Or am I just completely misunderstanding what you mean? (Which is not terribly unlikely.) I remember how much I loved having three-day weekends (or, during some semesters, five-day weekends) during college, but they didn’t come with 10-hour work days. *Shudder*

    And come to think of it, this entire post is woefully unhelpful and meaningless, and I’m blithering, and I shall stop now.

      A la the classic words of Calvin and Hobbes, “verbing weirds language.” Hee.

      Um. Yes. 4×10 would be much better indeed if I had to work an eighty hour week as an alternative! Gleep. Mea culpa.

      But . . . but . . . I like your blithering. And who needs meaning or help on a Monday morning? Not to say that I think your words are either meaningless or . . . actually, err, I don’t think of ’em as blithering either. Hmm. I think I’ve had too much coffee again. Let’s start over:

      I likes your wordesies, Mr. Mousie-fangs. Please put more in my journal thingum. 🙂 There. Like that.

        “Um. Yes. 4×10 would be much better indeed if I had to work an eighty hour week as an alternative! Gleep.”

        Actually, even more than the notion of an 80 hour week, I find the idea of a nine day week particularly impressive. You gotta be real industrious to pull that one off. 😉

        “I likes your wordesies, Mr. Mousie-fangs. Please put more in my journal thingum. 🙂 There. Like that.”

        lol

        Okay, just for you, I’ll try to ensure at least a minimum daily allotment of blithering in your journal. I figure it’s the least I can do for someone who uses “wordesies,” “journal-thingum,” and “Mr. Mousie-fangs” on the same line of text. 😀

        (And any time someone challenges your use of one of your new words, simply remind them that you’re a creative writer, and writing doesn’t get more creative than brand new vocabulary.)
