New to me, new to you; all this since 9 a.m. 

I have pockets in my coat.  They aren’t actually pretend—the stitching is only temporary so dust doesn’t get in at the store, apparently.  I’ve had this particular coat for more than a year now, but just this day cut those stitches free.

It’s snowing outside.  Really, really hard.  My office has no windows, see, and my boss—despite being blessed with a fantastic corner office—keeps his blinds tightly drawn at all times.  Odd, surely. 

Writing a story about electronic contracts and cross-border trade is unbearably boring and invites numerous distractions.

Online French newspapers publish comics in French.  I don’t know why I never thought of that, and am seriously impressed with myself that I understood most of what was going on therein. 

One of my top-ten list ghetto-cheap wines was on sale when I bought a sandwich.  Two bottles are sitting in my desk.  I find this outrageously amusing. 

Drafting this list in the publishing template makes it look, to passers-by, like I’m actually doing work.  Which, I daresay, I should be.  Alas.
