I installed Tetris on my Palm Pilot. Bad move. I had forgotten how much I used to like this maddeningly addictive little game…

Does anyone happen to know the number for Tetris Addicts Anonymous?

Oh, what the hell. It is Friday, after all.

Then there’s me, who should be working, but is just slacking off because there’s _nothing to do_.

I need a busier job.

I’ll give you the number for Tetris Addicts Anonymous as soon as you give me the one for e-bay Addicts Anonymous. I’ve been looking at e-bay most of the week and so far have bought myself two pairs of toe socks and three thongs! I should be working but shopping is soooo much funner.

[sub]is funner even a word??[/sub]
