My challenging work day

So, last Monday I started working down at the DEA. But, by working I mean I’m waiting to get an account so that I can log into the computers. And there’s the matter of my ID badge, so I can walk around the building without an escort. I don’t have one yet. For three days I’ve been unable to do any work. What do I do then? Well, allow me to go into my day today.

I got into work around 7:30AM, I didn’t bring anything with me except today’s Express. Immediately upon sitting down I began reading. I read every single article and then started on the crossword puzzle. Crossword puzzles are way out of my league though; I filled in two words in about 30 minutes, and then gave up. After, I started the soduku and like always I started out strong but I made a mistake and I was using pen, so I just threw out the whole paper.

I stared blankly at my desk for about an hour or so and then decided that I should make a flip book on the pack of post-it notes. I thought long and hard about what I should draw on there and didn’t come up with anything. Also, that would require some effort, so instead I started folding the post-it notes into little cubes. Each side of the cube was one post-it note and I made three cubes, so I used 18 post-it notes and killed about an hour (folding those little things isn’t easy. Plus the sticky edge makes it a hassle.) Due to the incredible amount of work required to produce little cubes out of little paper, I decided it would be best if I took a break from that.

Around then I got online, on a separate computer that has internet connection, because our personal computers do not, and I read google news. Google news turned out to have a lot of the same things that the newspaper had, so I went back to staring at my desk. I drew a picture, and then stared at my desk some more.
