I had the pleasure of being allowed exactly 11 minutes (quite typical) to myself today, courtesy of Boss #1 and Boss #2. At countdown + 1 minute, I attempted to get comfortable on the couch for a nap. Stupid me, I had the window open for some fresh air. I get zero breeze on most days, save for the times when the renters next door start to chain smoke. I was lucky enough to only breathe in 4 cigarettes, which is the limit over here for air to be considered "fresh". If those guys had lit the 5th one, I would have shut the window. They went inside and then the kids in the neighborhood came home screaming from school. I am really surprised I haven't learned Polish yet. Does "coorva" count? I do tend to waste time on things that do not matter (i.e. naps). If you are ever in a similar situation and you have 11 minutes to spare, let me offer a few alternatives which would be a better use of your time...
* take a nice bathroom break
* take a phone call with 100 ?'s to qualify you for a survey that will have your quota filled after all those questions are answered
* try to write a blog entry; get stuck; swear at the cat out of anger
* pet the cat and apologize (you would have to do this on an alternative break)
* delete your unwatched tivo
* make a to-do list with pretty cursive so it looks nice on your fridge (because it will stay there so long, it will become a piece of fridge art)
Hope these suggestions help! If you find that they take longer than 11 minutes, you move slower than I do, which I highly doubt is possible :)
GOTTA GO.....MY BOSSES ARE SCREAMING AT ME TO GET BACK TO WORK!
