Cheap Thrills

So here I am sitting in a client's office, logged on to the internet and sneaking in a quick blog post. Been very busy at work of late, and at the client's den, I don't normally have internet access. This sucks Donkey's Balls...because it means I actually have to work. Gaaaahhh!!

But today is different. Today all the work is done, and the aforementioned donkey and its testicles have taken the day off. Today I'm all alone, in a meeting room somewhere, where I can dial in, and connect to the glorious www. YES! Today is the day of cheap thrills!

Now there's a certain cheap thrill of sitting in the office and doing stuff not related to work, knowing all the while that I'm getting paid for it. In my case, these activities range from listening to music (I usually do some work-related stuff simultaneously...multi-tasking, I think, is the scientific term), personal emails, blogging and blog reading, and surfing the net. Though I know people who do much worse (or better, depending on your point of view).

Anyhoo, this certain cheap thrill is only intensified when I conduct one or many of the aforementioned activities at the client's office. Because not only am I getting paid to do something totally unrelated to work, but I'm doing it at the client's office, and the client pays my company for it. Since my company can't feel anything...ohnevermind. Right now, I'm all warm inside with this thrilling feeling, in all its glorious cheapness.

I don't do this very often, just in case you're wondering. Which explains the long breaks in between posts. But once in a while, I let go. And I wallow in these cheap thrills.

I'm wallowing now. If you put your ear to the screen, you might be able to hear me wallowing.

Can you hear it?? Huh, huh, can you? Huh?

PS - On a totally unrelated note, I still have no clue how to put up pictures on my blog. This post would have been so much better with a picture of the donkey...
