Tree Stump Wednesday!
Originally uploaded by Tavie

It's been mostly slow at work lately. It sort of drives me crazy. One day last month, for lack of anything to do, I sat there and spent a lot of time drawing this tree stump. I left it sitting on my desk as a demonstration to the world of how having no work makes me feel.

My co-worker and team-mate, whose Incognito Blog Name shall be Dog Faced Boy (henceforth DFB; not because he's dog-faced, but because that's who he would play in a freak show), saw the tree stump and said, "What is this, Tree Stump Friday?"

Since then, every time we've been slow, he's asked the question: "What is this, Tree Stump ___day?" It's become something of a catch phrase. We even xeroxed the tree stump a couple times so that J-Rock and DFB could display their own talismans of boredom. The tree stump is something of a mascot now.

I sincerely hope tomorrow is not Tree Stump Monday. We are not supposed to use the internet for non-work-related purposes, so I will only say that I have run out of "work-related" things to do with my computer and will soon have to start jamming mechanical pencils into my arm to stay awake.
