You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when
you've made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for
the rest of the day.


longest I've made it into a Friday in a while... I once sent that at 830

HA, it's so true...usually happens for me right around the time when the hardcore caffeine buzz starts to fade. They let us wear Pats gear again today so this whole day was a struggle.

Forgetting about casual day is the absolute worst...you always look like the one guy who thinks he's better than everyone else.  People are definitely giving you the "what a dick" look behind your back today.

Yep...This is my work life

Has Ray Lewis Killed Billy Cundiff Yet?

MEDFORD (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - The printing presses are working overtime to keep up with demand for AFC championship merchandise. The hats and T-shirts were already on store shelves Sunday night at Modells. The sporting goods store opened extra early Monday to accommodate eager fans. FOX 25's Tyisha Fernandes has more.

Look, I was excited as anyone when Mr. Evans dropped that pass, I nearly shat myself. When Billy Cundiff shanked that kid, I actually did shit myself. Was just hopping up and down yelling he missed, and sharted a little out of excitement. Whatever, it's not a big deal, you want to know what's more embarrasing than that? Rushing out to Modells to buy Patriots AFC Championship Gear.

What are you guys, a bunch of never-been-here-before losers? If you're over the age of 12 and are rocking AFC Champs gear today, then I think it's safe to assume you're currently on hold with WEEI, trying to call in and see what the hosts think about maybe starting Brian Hoyer in the Superbowl over Tom Brady because of Tom's poor play yesterday.  I mean what's the upside here? You wear that hat or shirt as many times as you can in the next 13 days? Then what? One way or the other after Super Bowl Sunday you're never wearing that again. If they lose, you're burning that gear, if they win, you've just replaced it with actual championship gear. You gotta think people.

Now back to the actual game, I'll be re-living this sequence the entire day in my cube. There is 0% chance I get anything done today.

PS: Side note, Jim Nantz waxing poetic about Ray Rice soaking up all the tales of the Ravens 2000 Superbowl team from Ray Lewis every day in the locker room was the height of comedy.  I'm pissed I can't find an audio clip of it, because, if you're Phil Simms, how do you not ask Nantz; "Do you think he ever mentions killing that one guy the night before the super bowl?" It would have been the greatest moment in tv history.

My Favorite Part of Winter: Cars Sliding Down Icy Streets

The guy didn't even laugh once...not a tee-hee, not a HA, not even a "lulz." Just honest to goodness documentation. I know I'm a bit more of an asshole than most, but how does one not crack up watching that Chevy do a perfect 360 and then go on about his way?

PS: At the first site of a some guy up the street standing in his yard video taping cars, I'm probably searching for an alternate route. If there's a guy willing to freeze his nuts off in the middle of a snowstorm just to capture footage of cars driving around, you know nothing good is going to come of traveling down that street...also, the car sliding sideways for 3 blocks in front of you is a pretty good indicator too.
