I can't even think of a good title.

I despise Friday afternoons. Everyone else seems to have gone home, except all the effers around me. No one's on IM, no emails coming, zip. I hate it. I have 2 more hours to go.

I'm all about my bed lately--bought a new duvet cover last week. Was looking for plain white, but they are nowhere to be found. So I got a white one with ruched layers on it--it actually looks really classy, like a grown-up bed. So the cartoony butterfly sheets had to go. Bought a set of crisp solid khakis yesterday, washed them last night, put them in the dryer this AM. So they should be ready tonight. My Friday night: putting new sheets on the bed. Actually, I will probably shoot a couple of games of pool with Ali apres work. TWO HOURS. Anyway, back to duvet covers: for some inexplicable reason, they cost easily 2 to 4 times the cost of a duvet. !!! How does that possibly make sense, surely duvets are more costly to make, what with the feathers/stuffing/etc. But no, the POCKET that houses them is where the money is at. It's a complete conspiracy by the bedding industry. Hey kid, try this line of duvet for free. Like that, don't ya? What, you want a cover now? Hmm, that's going to cost you . . . come over here, let's talk.

I have one hour and 45 minutes left. Pathetic. I feel like this.

I've had 2 mobile calls in the last 2 minutes--I've jumped both times at the ring. So I'm feeling popular, but twitchy.
