I'm awol from work, anyone else?

In the spirit of not one dime, I'm asking to be coded awol, not vacation, so I don't have to pay any payroll tax today.

3. No, but I have C-Span 2 on, am wearing black, brought my lunch and...

turned my back on Bush as he drove by live!! Swung my chair around and away from my computer. Also, flipped off the motorcade.

12. Its been a real eye opener too.

I never realized how much money I squander in small amounts every day. I've almost run to the store about 6 times today, picked up the phone to order a pizza, etc.

11. I'm dawdling too.

It's almost 1:00 and I haven't even had my shower yet. I can't seem to get motivated today, though I did decide to bake some cookies for the kiddos.

14. Good old chocolate chip.

I substituted white chips for chocolate, though. They are happily enjoying them right now. I'm going up to take that shower. Really. :)

15. You really should

do the shower thing so you can get back in that kitchen and put some semi-sweet chips in your next batch. C'mon, do it for Gadget - puleeze? :crazy:

Edit: my fingers don't work!

9. No money to spend! but my website and blog are protesting....

Since "Not One Dime" describes just about every day in the life of a rock band-film student, we just went with protesting online:
