Meanwhile, I am really busy at work. (Of course, what else is new.) When this happens, I find as many distractions as possible to keep me from 1) working, and 2) looking at how much I have going on. Today, my distractions are as follows:
1) The A-Hole Test, thanks to Lulu. Here are some of my favorites:
- You find it useful to glare at, insult, and even occasionally holler at some of the idiots at your workplace – otherwise, they never seem to shape-up.
- You take credit for the accomplishments of your team – why not? They would be nowhere without you.
- You don't make mistakes. When something goes wrong, you always find some idiot to blame.
- Your jokes and teasing can get a bit nasty at times, but you have to admit, they are pretty funny.
And my personal favorite: - You love your immediate team and they love you, but are at constant warfare with the rest of the organization. You treat everyone else like crap because, after all, if you're not on my team, you either don't matter or are the enemy.
2) The 50 States Game, again thanks Lulu. For the life of me, I can't get all 50. Last time I played, I was just 1 short. Damn Nebraska.
3) Reading the multitude of emails that my friends and I send back and forth all day long. I think I have about 5 different conversations going on at the moment.
4) Updating my blog. Speaking of... I should, well, probably get back to work. Lulu, please stop emailing me these things!! (Just kidding!)

Took the ARSE test (not an asshole, although some people would argue with that). Took the 50 states test, got all 50 (woohoo!). And now time to focus (no really) on work...
Glad to be of assistance...I mean... I am sorry for keeping you from your work!
Now that it is warming up we have no excuse to hit B.S. before work SOOOOOON!!!!
P.S. I am not sure about the validity of the test because it says "You sound like a borderline certified asshole, perhaps the time has come to start changing your behavior before it gets worse."
Bordeline?
Seriously.
The number one thing to keep you from getting anything substantial accomplished at work, and make you feel like you need to train a lot more than you already do = Erin's blog.
Keep up the good work!
I did the 50 states thing last week, and after a pitiful first try (43 or something), I did it a few days later and got stuck at 48- until I realized I forgot Alaska and Hawaii! Woohoo! I can remember 50 states :)
I forgot Nevada and Utah, what the heck is wrong with me?
Just to update everyone... I won the contest because I didn't outline naps and recovery in my weekend. In fact, my weekend is so hectic, I didn't want to use up all the ink in my keyboard to type up everything I've got going on then, AND during the week.
And, I made it to Aussie's till 10, and you didn't even show. Wow. You already lost midway through the week!
How could you miss Nebraska?! :-(

Well I tried. I guess I shouldn't take my citizenship test any time soon.
Places apparently not important enough to make it into my head:
Alabama, Arizona (oh, irony), Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Vermont, Virginia, West Virgina, Wisconsin (I remember thinking there was one about cheese)
