Mission Impossible For The Right Shirt
Wednesday, June 16th, 2010Have you ever been sitting at work, staring at the computer, without a clue of what you were supposed to be doing? Well, yesterday was one of those days for me. My supervisor had just given me a stack of busy work to do, and i just needed a mental break of sorts before I could completely empty my mind enough to process such a mind numbing task.
Google is full of far too much information, and always intimidates me when I plug random words in, and it spits out hundreds of websites dealing with that topic. There seems to be an abundance of financial and stock sites.
I always find it entertaining when I find words that I don’t understand because they were created for some specific website or another with the sole purpose of something faster to say, like forex indicator. I don’t know what that is, other than it has something to do with finance.
I thought it would be a good idea to abort my mission and do some shopping instead. My husband and I have a vacation coming up, and I really did not have much of an idea for a our outfits. I went to my favorite online store, and browsed for awhile.
I found a few shirts that I liked for him, and a few ties that I thought went well also, so I purchased one of each. I also found a couple of really nice men’s watches, and decided to get a basic yet stylish metal one for him to finish off his new outfit. I figured it would be perfect for him to wear when he took me out to dinner.
Moving from an apartment to a house left us with a big gap in furniture needs. The bedroom was taken care of but we were looking into dining sets. My husband wants a bar but I thought it would look a little tacky. This all led me to looking at napkins and table cloths. There were a many colors that I wanted. I thought about plum but it was not as striking as the dark cherry red.
It is amazing how much time you can waste throughout the day just by surfing the internet. It is definitely a good idea to get all of your work done beforehand, just in case your supervisor shows up.
