The Big "O"...

The Big "O"...
Ya ever have one of those days, you roll out of the sack feeling like your feng has shui'ed and ying has yang'ed? Well my dear readers, today was one of THOSE days. 

Now I'm one of those who is not real buddy-buddy with the Big "O". No, I'm not talking about the queen of daytime drama, I'm talking about the other "O". Quite frankly, my skills in the dot your "i's" and cross your "t's" department on a scale of 1 - 10 are a minus 5. Gawd knows when I saw my desk top that didn't have piles of those just gotta save, dog-eared scraps of crap scattered hither, thither and yon.


So instead of doing my morning post, I got out the circular filing cabinet, dust rag, and vacuum and set to work. Well, I'm no stager, and don't have that eye for yinging my yang, but hey, I do what I can do - you know the drill. After a full day of sorting and that "O" thingy word, all the stuff I just had to have is neatly O'ed in the Dimpsy Dumpster out back. Just think, I have a place to put those important things. I like it when a plan comes together...

Can you see me now?

Michael, A desk must have room for the feet. How else can a man think straight?

Michael - very funny post. Looks like time well spent and don't you feel so much better? Well obviously you do, you're sitting back with your feet up - that's a good sign - lol.

Nothing like having the feet up on the desk as it increases blood flow to the brain and allows us all to be more creative.

My house has recently been "O"vertaken by piles of paper.  No matter how many times I shred or file after a few days they return to take over every flat surface in the house.

I'm a bit "O"bsessive about the whole "O" thing.....So I am lovin' your after photo :0)  Looks nice, and doesn't it feel great to kick back and put your feet on a nice, clean work area?  Have a great evening!

Sounds to me like your car-ma ran over your dog-ma today, my friend! I was looking for your blog and when I didn't see one this morning, I thought you were working. 

Glad to see you got some "O"-ing done today!

I do have one question though. Why isn't my blog page on your computer screen!!!

O - I'm one of those O-thingy's. But if you put it in the dumpster what are you going to do when you need that very thing you disgarded?

Interesting you took a picture of the baby on the computer screen before it was born in the cyber world.  I've seen those in-utero shots before!

My home office so needs a clerk to come file and get me all situated. But since I am that clerk I am going to have to just make time. Hopefully that will happen soon as it appears like a paper bomb went off in there.
