5 Things for Friday, March 5th
1. I know I’ve said it before, but Tosh.0 is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on TV, and it’s remarkably consistent. At least once every episode, I laugh so hard at something that I can barely breathe, and it remians funny through the next morning. Yesterday, both Lady Aravan and I had shit days at work, but after watching the show on the DVR, we were laughing our asses off. This morning, through my surly have, I would murmur “Ole black betty, amburlance” and chuckle out loud. If anyone heard me they’d have thought I was out of my fucking mind.
And Now, A Brief Message From A Beleaguered Accountant
Payroll tax filings and w-2’s are a horrible, horrible thing for me to deal with, Federal forms, state forms, city forms, all calculated slightly differently and requiring a manual spreadsheet to complete. I hate them all, I hates taxes in every way shape or form. Ugh.
Five Things for Friday, January 22nd
1. Game predictions: Favre Bowl ’10 approacheth, like a beast shambling onwards towards Bethlehem. Vikings/Jets in the Super Bowl. God help us all.
Short Five for Wednesday, Jan 20
1. There are few things more joyous than remembering you brought a Raspberry Zinger to work and left it in your desk, but forgot to eat it at lunch, just before you go home. It’s like a reward for surviving yet another drab workday.
Motivation
It is amazing what can be accomplished when someone has a single, overriding goal in mind. Despite every distraction, every possible trip-up, every attempt to be forcibly re-focused elsewhere, the truly motivated people of the world bear down on their goal and fulfill their mission unerringly. There are many who use it for practical purposes, to accomplish a load of work in a short time, while others use this superhuman focus to assiduously avoid anything approaching work not matter what. Guess which camp I’m in?

Short One for Friday, 10/16
I missed a non-weekend day of posting for the first time yesterday, grrrr. I will make this brief. I hate budget time. I am not too sure about my new boss. Chris Samuels will retire (I predict) and the Skins will end up around 5-11. It’s the weekend, and HOT DAMN.
