Free Paris Now!
Today I came in and discovered an addendum:

Misc: More Fun at Work
Heard over the fire safety loudspeaker: "Due to construction workers in the building, you may notice an odor."

Misc: Fun at Work
So, because I don't (yet?) make a living at the freelance writing, I have a fulltime desk-jockey job doing legal word processing for a big corporate law firm in Midtown. It's relatively painless in a McJob kind of way, but it wears down the old creativity after awhile, so I've been known to use unconventional methods to try and head-trip myself into thinking I'm doing something else. Before last fall's trip to Disney World I would listen to ride soundtracks on the subway so I could feel like I was on a ride. When I got back, I brought in my monkey-head coconut from the Polynesian Hotel luau to drink my water out of. Recently that's gotten kind of tired, so I've started listening to James Bond soundtracks on my way into the building so I can think that I might kill someone while I'm there. It's far more interesting to come into a Manhattan high-rise when you're infiltrating it than when you're just coming to edit contracts.
