I feel incredibly unmotivated plus it is very quiet at work. So I am wasting time. Making paper stars as seen on Martha Stewart’s show yesterday. Folding pink copy paper into accordian pleats, stapling and cutting. The scary part is that I am enjoying this and thinking of the myriad of possible uses–different colors for different holidays. Oops, time for break! ---

I hate days like this where I’m dependent on someone elses work that isn’t here and really don’t have a lot to do, and have to stretch it out to fill 8 hours.\* If it weren’t for the SDMB and hardware and game news sites… I’d lose my damn mind. [sub]\*Of course, you know at 1500 something will break or go wrong and I’ll be here ‘til 1900 fixin’ it.[/sub] ---

No link for those stars? I wanna make some too!
