Google, Cruises, Finance, And Work
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010I love it and hate it when I finish my entire days work in less than an hour. I have nothing to do but sit and stare aimlessly at my computer, debating whether or not to ask my boss for something to do. It is usually about that time a stack of busy work ends up on my desk, and promptly gets completed, giving me time to once again stare blankly.
I decided the best way to achieve that state of mind would be to type random words into Google, and see where I wound up. I thought I would to start with something simple, so I chose to look up information on my company stock. This, of course, led me to many different websites, most of them completely irrelevant to my company, or stocks in general.
What is a forex indicator? Pages and pages of financial nonsense and I still didn’t have a clue. Plus clicking off all of the ads for me to meet singles in my area was making me a little nervous. I will never be able to figure out how these matchmaking sites now where I am located if they can’t even figure out that I am not looking for love connection.
Mission aborted and onto the next one. Shopping is always a fun diversion. A costly diversion but it will keep my mind off the mind numbing boredom. Our annual vacation is coming up and we each need a bathing suit and some vacation outfits. The trip to Mexico was bought on the cheap because we have a friend that is a travel agent.
I found a few shirts that I liked for him, and a few ties that I thought went well also, so I purchased one of each. I also found a couple of really nice men’s watches, and decided to get a basic yet stylish metal one for him to finish off his new outfit. I figured it would be perfect for him to wear when he took me out to dinner.
Maybe I would make him cook for me instead… He has not done that for awhile, because our dining room is rather empty right now. We just moved into a larger house, and need more furniture to fill it up, specifically our dining room. We’ve been looking at china cabinets, dining sets, and bars to fill it up, but haven’t found anything that has caught our eye yet.
It is amazing how much time you can waste throughout the day just by surfing the internet. It is definitely a good idea to get all of your work done beforehand, just in case your supervisor shows up.
