Clearing the Browser Tabs – Unproductive Monday Edition

And so we begin the least-productive two weeks of the year. I, actually, will work most of the week, but I don’t know that I’ll get much actual work done. You know how that works. The mooks show up but the bosses have leave to burn and meetings to attend. Well, I, the faithful mook, will be there but my boss (who by the way is the best boss I’ve ever had) has to take some time off and will be tied up with other things. I hope your week won’t be quite as slow as mine. But hey, I’ll get some decent blogging out of the down-time, so that’s something!

He knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good or he’ll strafe your house!
