So...I am at work. BossMan and BossLady don't come in until several hours after everyone else's presence is required. I have called the person I was supposed to interview this morning, but they rescheduled for 1:30. I have twice e-mailed the other person I am supposed to interview but they have not e-mailed me back. I have also re-emailed the publicist I am supposed to speak to for another story, but no word there, either. I have revised the two short pieces I was able to write yesterday.

*twiddles thumbs* Okay, now what?

Seriously, what am I supposed to do? I want to be working. But if there's nothing to do, am I just supposed to stare at the wall? Grr.

What do you responsible, adult-type people do when work is slow? If the answer is "Screw around!" shiny examples would be appreciated!

Here's one for you guys: one of the articles I'm working on is about this art exhibit that Johnny Depp co-sponsored. Our angle is of course "OMG! Johnny Depp!" but I think the artist, a French guy named Gravleur who had never been on a plane before Johnny convinced him to come to America, is incredibly talented. You can see his work here. I especially love #38--it looks like my grandfather. Johnny has damn good taste.

I'm doing temp work at the moment to earn money for university next year (I'm taking a break year first) and there's never enough work to keep me busy all day. So I write, I read books (though as a receptionist I can get away with this), I go on the internet, I taught myself Spider Solitaire... basically, the guilt thing isn't worth it. Firstly, everyone else is goffing off most likely, and secondly it's up to them to find you enough work to do, really, so it's their fault if they don't. All you can do is show willing and enthusiasm for whatever is slung your way and hope things pick up.

Hope this helped!
