Just spaced out for at least 5 min... no thoughts, no attention span... just total blank :) I actually feel kind of rested.

Whats funny is that I was spacing out on the corner of my desk... just started staring at it for no reason at all. I have a head cold, I think maybe its putting pressure on my brain :drool:

I was just having an office space moment thinking about the noises around me:

- the buzzing "exit" sign in the hallway whenever I walk down it. Reminds me of those artsy films where a person is in a room and all you hear is the hum of a neon sign or a fan.

- a car alarm in our parking lot. Reminds me of an old Doonesbury cartoon involving a car alarm and a gun.

Good thing your day is over. Go eat some soup.

I've actually been in an interview where one of the interviewers told me her job was to, and I quote, "take the requirements and give them to the engineers". I nearly fell over laughing.

My Office Space moment of the month:

I used my coworker's acco to make some holes and discovered it was made by Swingline. Wow, that was some smooth acco'ing; I almost wanted to take it for myself.

Along those same lines, when I started at my current employer I had a Bostitch stapler that couldn't staple 2 sheets of paper together. I traded for a Swingline and that thing will staple anything in it's path. I love my Swingline.
