***100 words (Hour Four)***

Ack! I’m running late. Why did it have to get busy at work today?

Work’s the second most common reason many people can’t write. (The first, of course, is writer’s block.) We’re all expected to be putting 100% of our attention, time, mental and physical energies strictly to our assigned tasks at hand.

Hmmm. How much mental and physical effort is there to waiting for the copy machine to make a single copy or set.

I read somewhere that people—at most—devote the maximum of six hours to their jobs during a regular eight-hour day. The rest of the time is spent socializing with one’s co-workers. (Where the real wheeling, dealing, and decision-making is really done.--Joel) Now obviously this is a generalization. Ask my spouse about a typical physician’s workload and you’ll get the answer, “Socialize with co-workers? Break? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

Ah, hmmm. Moving on.

Well, today every one suddenly decided to pile work on poor me. Thus this late post. But I did it!
