interesting article on how to not get fired because of your blog. yes, i may take an occasional minute or 2 to post a blog while on the clock. similar to sending a personal email, which surely everyone else has occasionally done while at work. guilty as charged. it just makes more sense to do it here, quickly, with access to a high speed T-1 line, rather than dialing in (yes, i still dial in) and posting a "blog". if it ever becomes an issue, i'll post at home only which will no doubt detract from the number of times i will actually bother to post. 'nuff said.
i'm on a temporary high at the moment because i'm at the beginning of a looooong weekend (friday and monday off). don't look for any new posts until after that (see above paragraph). also, next week is a short week anyway due to thanksgiving. i do, however have to work friday, which is traditionally a slacker day anyway.
it will not all be fun and games this long weekend however. things to do this weekend:

- finish the last of the raking (snow coming saturday) and last trip to compost pile
- hang the out door christmas lights (snow coming saturday)
- oil change for taurus + 2 new air filters
- begin paint project in basement (optional but likely)
- misc. household chores
- continue to rip holiday discs to mp3's
- afix heating element coils to roof of porch to prevent ice-damning (damning? damming? damns?)
- other projects, which i have already documented on the fridge at home but cannot recall at this time

signing off until next time...
