...I'm someone's child and I'm still at work. I think we've finally come almost to the end but I'm still here waiting it out. We were almost done and I was about to leave to meet Sarah for coffee and then possibly see Coraline with her and the guys but.... then we discovered that we were missing something. An entire stack of client originals still needed to be scanned and turned into graphics. A few hours worth of work, proofing included. Denise, Joel, and I all stared at each other in horror. You could feel the curse words lingering in the air but no one had uttered them...yet.
I've been following Denise around, almost like a puppy, because I do not enjoy hanging around in my office at night when almost no one else is here. I crave company after a while. I've been sitting in here all day getting work done with my only contact with the outside world talking to other people in the company about whatever problem I'm helping them with. But now I'm back in here, sitting alone and waiting, listening to as many versions of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah I can find on YouTube. I mean, sometimes you need comfort music the way you need comfort food or a good hug. If you're bored, go google "Mieka Pauley Hallelujah" and take a listen. Beautiful. Even better in person....
It's time to shut off my computer and head home. Hallelujah! =)

That's one of my favorite songs. I like the Rufus Wainright version a lot.
It's VERY odd being at work when nobody else is there. It makes the shuffle of papers sound so loud!
Enjoy Coraline and let us know if it's any good!
It's weird that some days you are so bored at work that you can practice playing Connect Four, while others keep you at work til 11pm. I may complain about work sometimes, but I have to say that having regular(ish) hours is definitely a plus.
Well Sparky, the Connect-Four thing is an official company thing with very nice prizes. It "connects" with a company theme that I can't remember at the moment. It's really to build morale. We actually had a hard time fitting in our connect 4 matches last week because we all had too much work to do =P
