Sister, can you spare a prompt?

Over lunch, my co-worker mentioned writing to prompts. Prompts! thought I. (ever try thinking an exclamation point?)

So I asked Lee for a prompt, and she said to look around and find something work related.

I like communicating. And I've been thinking lately about how we write (or talk or present) for our audience. Which brings me back to this blog. Blogging has always been challenging to me because I can never decide which audience I'm writing to or for. I think my problem was that I secretly was hoping The Entire Universe would become enraptured with my every word.

But that's exausting, and I really don't care about the rest of the universe. Sorry Uni. You had your chance, and you blew it.

Getting back to work, I really don't like havng to create test data. I don't understand it half the time and it takes forever! Really. Anything over 15 minutes = forever. It's how I get to be immortal.

Why can't I just be paid for being an upright citizen? Or a cuteness consultant. Or an office supply therapist?

  2. You three are too sweet!! I didn't think this was very funny at all. :)

    And I just made a surprise for you and Lee. You can have it on Friday. (bare in mind that I -made- it, so it's nothing as spectacular as laptops or uggs)
