I call these "in office" vacation days where you're physically here, but that is all

Anyone else in the same situation / state of mind?

Whoa!!! It's almost 5:00 now ... will pick this back up in the am

I've had those days, one day we all played stick ball in our bay for about 3 hours. There was about a quarter of a million dollars of salry playing.

We should start an at work club.

.25 mil ... that's a funny way to look at it! We've got a golf ball driving net here I may need to take some swings at. Not much into golfing though, just like to mash the ball to see how far it goes ... could care less 'bout getting it in the hole

Stickball eh? Sounds good ... broom handle bat and tape ball?

You're paid full time to do nothing full time? What type of job is that?

Holidays are quite slow here, but montly and quaterly cycles get me hopping pretty good ... mid months are a slower pace

I'm a translator between tech geeks and business folks who want something technical done but don't know how to ask for what they want, and whose sphincters would severely tighten if they tried to explain it to a programmer

That's a pretty good synopsis actually!

It's a good match, and has been a good "gig" financially and family time wise

I'm not ashamed to admit that I actually derive satisfaction from helping people, and my job offers me plenty of outlet for that

The parking lot at the Big E was empty yesterday, so I decided to work from home today. There is nothing better than having nothing to do wile sitting on your couch in your PJs getting paid.
