Tick tock tick tock tick tock

What to do, what to do, what to do.

Am I the only one that doesn't start off well on a Monday AM?

Usually I'm up the night before, dreading the week start. Last night I made a focused effort to go to bed at 11:00. Still watched TV till 12:30.

By the way, Paycheck, straight to video, C+ review. Ben Affleck is NOT a leading man.

Either way, it's 10:30, and I haven't done a thing!

Except, read Gawker, get coffee, call my wife, check the job boards, look on Ebay for the wheels I want for my car, checked the job board, talked to my boss about the weekend, listened to two other conversations in other cubicles, turned on my cell phone and listened to messages, checked for a triathalon in New Jersey that I may want to do.

You see, haven't done a thing.

Driving in on a Friday morning

Listened to the new Tom Petty album. Track one is fantastic, the rest of typical Petty.

But typical Petty isn't bad at all.

My boss, and other cubicle dwellers had a conversation about music. My boss, like myself is an old metal head. We got onto a conversation about Iron Maiden and surprisingly the other three cubicle mates chimed in on this. We kind of chuckled about our musical selections when we were young.

The important thing to note is as metalheads we appreciated hard and fast lyrics that may or may not be understandable during the melodies. The chorus you always understood that was your rallying cry to your metal god on stage.

I grew to appreciate Petty later in life. Simple lyrics, simple melodies, good tight music. Definitely not metal.

Ah when will I get any work done today?

Dear lord why do I work in a cubicle?

Sitting at my "cube" wondering what I'm supposed to do today. I have absolutely no direction to go forward.

I think I'm going to hit the gym, work off that souvlaki lunch I had at the Apollo Diner.

Shake Shack got a really bad rating from the Health Department, not going there for some time.


Curse the man who created the cubicle.
