I have a dry erase board

That’s right. Envy me. Or not, whatever.

As it turns out, ordering office supplies for my desk here at work only takes a day to ship, so now I’ve got a new chair mat, white board / cork board combination, file holder. Things are starting to come together in the new office.

I never thought I’d see the day when office supplies would excite me, but here I am. Excited. About office supplies. But they do help everything get done, I gotta say.

So much so that I have a down time in between client reports that I get to blog. Hooray! I should also consider myself luckier than most because I do enjoy my dayjob (!), because it’s very internet oriented. It’s an internet company. It’s not ISP because it’s marketing, and it’s not advertising because we don’t make popups. I hope the people that write popups go out of business.

I once had to script a popup for another job at an internet ‘zine, and that was the moment I submitted my two weeks notice. I will sell my freedom to a Columbian drug lord before I write a popup script.

Like a lot of bloggers who don’t have a specific intent for internet pontification, I find myself rambling.

I should probably take the time to link to all of my friends’ blogs, but nobody really keeps up on that except for Stuart, and a newbie in the blog world, Evan. Oh, I guess Ev counts, too, but he also has a new blog.

The need for being able to detail the happenings of everyday life and thoughts I guess comes and goes for some people, but I hear keeping a journal/diary helps one to keep their respective (and relative) sanity in check. As such, I believe Stuart may be one of the more sane people in my social circle because he does keep up on his blog.

And damn, man, I was supposed to finish a graphic novel (I’m 150 pages in as of this last summer, but I’m not sure at which point I left off…) but because I’ve been so busy writing a musical score and working at a bar and taking on this dayjob and freelancing web favors on the side and being in a new band alongside writing music as a solo project — I really haven’t had time. For anything. Even my friends are worried. So I got dropped from my publisher. That’s kind of embarrassing, but not as bad as if writing were my perfunctory obligation.

I still enjoy writing, but I’m really out of practice. So I guess this blog will help to alleviate that problem.

That’s what I claimed in my last blog, too; I hope I live up to the promise this time. But I guess third time’s a charm?
