I am really having a hard time focusing today. Does anyone else have that problem?
Oh yes... work seems twice as long today, it's going to be a long week until Friday at noon.
Most definitely.
In fact, I have given up. I am intending to do as close to nothing as possible until January 2d.
I'll answer the phone and respond to emails, but other than that I am coasting in neutral.
Pretty day here in MA. Light snow.. I think I'll make some hot chocolate
I'm not writing, but I am working - washing clothes, washing floors, wrapping gifts.....need I say more?
It's hard to enjoy the holidays when you are stuck at work. Think happy thoughts.
It's actually kind of weird for me, because I am not working at all right now. However, I worked every Christmas eve for 15 years, noon until 8 p.m. And, then had to be back at work at 4 a.m. the morning after Christmas for the big day after Christmas sales.
This Christmas holiday is actually the first I have not worked in 20 years, because I worked through the 2009 Christmas rush, and lost my job just a month later. (Typical of the company I worked for) So, I am very glad that I won't have to do it this year.
But, there isn't really that much that I plan to do anyways, other than eat a lot, and watch television. I might go out for New Years Eve. I haven't done that in a while.

I recently read some reviews on Consumer Affairs, which were absolutely devasting and have got me a little worried. I was wondering if anyone else wrote at similar sites prior to HubPages and why they made the switch, and if they had thought about going back.

Does anyone know Bob Ross' (painter) ethnicity?I have looked all over the net and other places for his ethnicity. No one seems to know what it is. He sported the cool Afro during his show on PBS. It is rumored that he was either part African American or Jewish. My wife brought that question up...

Is there a way to add a Google +1 Button to Hubs? Does anyone do this?I've noticed that my 'scorecard' under google adsense suggests that my score would be better if I added this button. Is there a way to add it? Does anyone else do this? Could it possibly be added to hubs where the other social...
