Procrastination Meme

This last three or four days have actually been three or four of the shittiest in quite a while. Not to put too fine a point on it, but it's thrown into serious doubt whether the aggravation I get and time I put in for my job is worth what I'm getting paid. I mean, it's not like I was taking home with me the greatest level of satisfaction, but it pays alright...but that satisfaction took a real nosedive this week.

Don't go salaried, kids, unless you're able to control the amount of time you're spending at the job. Because it gets really fucking depressing when you decide to do the math after you've worked this close to 60 hours.

I do have the first part written in my NaNoWriMo bit, but not much more. And I figured out what I was doing wrong trying to cut and paste from Word Perfect to blogger. Gracias for the help. I hate when I do botard things like that.

Anyway. I'm trying to write. That's what I'm going to do this morning. What I'm doing, actually...

While I stop to let my brain stir and cool, here's a meme I found at It Comes In Pints:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

Boy, some of those answers are just spooky. I also like that immediately after "Tires" came Weird Al Yankovic's "The Saga Begins..."

Only a couple of comments...I've got a couple of books on CD on my list that I didn't include as answers...although I think it'd be weird to have a movie where an entire section of the store is overshadowed by David Colacci's reading of Chapter 3 of Michael Chabon's Wonder Boys....

I think I'd like to see this movie. I mean, it's kinda country, with a sense of humor. And then it becomes a Highlander movie, apparently, with my death coming at the end of another immortal's sword...my resulting death seeming to make scores of people happy....
