14. When I get nervous
I get snarky. On a scale of one to ten, my snarkometer is at '37'.

7. Work #1 was, itself, useless.
I represented two dead guys and a no-show in paternity court.

That was all. I came home, made lunch, and will go to Work #2 and be useless there for awhile.

9. Useless this morning.
I should be somewhat busy this afternoon. Maybe it will help take my mind off of things, since we're not going to get any useful info until about 8:00 EST, anyway.

18. I've worked hard.
I cleaned my kitchen, did some packing, and vacuumed and shampooed the carpets in five rooms. I've eaten about five or six meals and yet it's only barely noon! How can that be?

24. In reference to my distraction, William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day would be:
"I am gone, though I am here."

Much Ado About Nothing, Act IV, I don't have the rest right now...

I can't pay attention in class. I anticipate every break so I can catch up on what's going on...
