    On days like this, how do you pretend to get any work done?

    Started very early this morning so I could be off by 1:00 p.m. Couldn't sleep, so might as well be productive.

    My work is conducted on site throughout the greater Bay Area. Today I'm out in a beautiful remote mostly agricultural town by the ocean called Bolinas where there is no public internet. I'll be back in the loop around 4pm or so, so no distractions are even possible

    Wherever I go, my pants will be falling down, especially if I’m holding something.

    If I remember correctly you are in the same field as Dr. Evil, so just point a laser at something close to a TV.

    I will see this thread and remember that there is probably something more important I should be doing.

    Then, I will ignore that and hit refresh.

    I have band practice tonight so I'll keep distracted as I work on new tunes we're adding.

    Well the good news is I'm going to make myself focus so I can get out of the office early and be in front of my TV and stress in peace.
