Still on the job

[luckycanuck]

I answered the phone a lot today and was forced to spend more time than I would have liked talking to timewasters including one guy who billed himself as an inventor and wanted o explain the details of his carbon reducing invention.

I was able to leave pretty early though, and got home with time for a home workout.

TW: 100 jump squats, 200 pushups, 300 situps.  (This is the first three part of the Spartan 1000, the last being 400 burpees.  I'll try the rest of that another day when mosquitos aren't out in force and I can take the time needed.)

There is just one more full on work week before I go away.  Hooray!  Actually this week has been ok.  There is an energy around the place that is otherwise missing.  Still, overall enthusiasm is lacking.  I thought there was the chance I was going to get stuck with a stack of complicated and technical transport letters and e-mails, but It looks like I'm safe from that.  That would have meant doing the job of someone who has not yet been hired but not getting the higher pay for it.

Uggh! I know you get timewasters too, but there are probably fewer consequences if you hang up on them. People expect politicians to be willing to talk and can get offended if you interrupt them or call them on their wankery. Then there's the risk of getting a reputation.
