And on the third day

she went to school to use the internet and the printer. And to sit in a little room that makes her feel like she has to be productive because it is her office (one of her offices) and she is expected (by someone she calls "boss") to stay on task when she is in this office.

Okay. Enough referring to myself in the third person. But it's true. Now that I have this administrative job (it's only ten hours a week, but it still counts), I feel so much more productive. Especially when I'm in the office. I share it with 3 others, but we're never in it at the same time, so it feels like mine. It's not like the 1/2 of a cubicle I have downstairs, or the bullpen I worked in last year. It's a real room with a door and windows and a computer and a desk and a printer and I'm here to be productive. I've crossed everything off my list for today except: 1) write two poems and 2) write a reading response. I should do the reading response before I get tired and hungry and decide to go home. But I want to write the two poems so I can email this week's Poem-a-Day results to Gary. I have to write two poems today because yesterday I forgot. I wasn't too busy, I just forgot. I wasn't in a poem-y space.

But before I finish my to do list, there's something I've been wanting to blog about. Well, that makes it sound serious and important. It's just, I seem to come here so often when I'm stressed, but I also go to those blogs listed to your right when I'm stressed, and they make me feel better. So, here's a list of blogs that are almost as good as chocolate for making my day a little bit better:

Blogs that make me want to write poems:
Radish King
21 km up the valley
Chicks Dig Poetry
independent study

Blogs that make me happy:
Intagliod Up in Blue
Lorcaloca
Pugnacious Pinoy
budajest
corn shake

Blogs that make me want to take better care of myself:
The Brother Swimming Beneath Me
Book of Kells

So, thanks bloggers, for making me a little less cranky and a little less crazed.
