In need of a well deserved break

While it's only 3:07 in the afternoon, I'm in need of a well deserved break. Actually, I just spent the last 20 minutes walking to another bank to cash a check, so I guess that was my break, but I'm ready for another one. In other words, I feel like going home.

But since I have to be here, I might as well appear to be working.

Many of my usual work-time distractions have dried up on me as of late. My consitent e-mail buddy just lost her job, my once steady train of e-mails between college friends has gone away, and all of my regular websites just aren't bringing the distractions like they used to. So, I've been forced to do actual work. (Re-read that: Actual. Work.) It's not so bad, though. I actually feel somewhat accomplished, which is a good thing - or so I'm told.

(I'm still trying to figure out when to use the dashes in a sentence. I'd usually settle for parentheses or a well placed comma or semicolon, but I want to start using dashes more. Hopefully I'm not screwing it up. But since there are only three of you who read this, what do I care?)

Ok... It's been 5 minutes since I started writing this. I think that' s good. A few trips to the bathroom and a stop down to the convenience store for a snack and it'll be 5:00 in no time.

(I just re-read this entire post and it's awful. I'm so, so sorry.)
