This is me chained to my desk at work
Steven and I planned our honeymoon for the week before Thanksgiving, thinking we were being thoughtful by not taking it between Thanksgiving and New Year’s when everyone else normally takes time off.
But it turns out my office has a ton of work to do and not enough people to do it. And I am one of the only people with clearance for some our government jobs. And I am going to be gone for a week. Oops.
I love being super busy at work. The time just flies by, and you feel like you have gotten so much done at the end of the day because you can’t remember the last time you left your desk. This is what my last few weeks have been like. It has really made the wait for the honeymoon not feel like a wait at all.
And I know I will be just as busy when I get back, making the wait for the holidays and other fun festivities fly by as well. Yay.

that’s how its been for me the past few weeks. Great billable hours but its leaving me exhausted and I have no exotic vacay awaiting me! I’ll miss you when ur gone!
When I’m chained to my desk, they apply the chain to my leg so that my arms are free, which allows for greater productivity. You should suggest that to your workplace. 🙂
Gina (Mannyed) – no vacation to Florida this year? No escape?! I will miss you too 🙂
Dave2 – ha ha! It’s so funny that you say that… it is the same thing Steven said to me as I was drawing it. But I was too lazy to move it to my foot 😉
As much as I complain when it’s crazy-busy around here, I am climbing the walls now that things have slowed down a lot. Our boss keeps telling us to enjoy it, but I feel like I still have to be here all day and it takes me Herculean effort just to do the one or two things I have to do per day because I am soooo bored!
I had a little project this week and it was actually fun being busy. When I get busy with my regular work, it doesn’t feel as good.
Work sucks for me too. Where’s the honeymoon? I’m assuming a tropical beach locale based on the pic.
diane – I AM THE SAME WAY!!! (Again with the “separated at birth” concept.) When I am so bored and don’t have much to do, it takes me forever to get anything done. I like to work fast 🙂
ajooja – hopefully you will have more fun projects!
Lisa – Is this just a busy time of year? (well, I guess not for Diane! 😉 ) We are taking our honeymoon in Aruba! 🙂
Is that a ponytail or a mullet on the chaining victim? Is there something you should tell us?
