jasmine tea

ive been here at work since 6:30 and in the time since, I have cleaned my keyboard, made tea, answered emails, and wrote some students on myspace. all in all, not so productive so far. I am also working on a metric system powerpoint. So we will see how THAT goes. Its hard for me to teach the metric system online. sometimes hearing it is just so much easier.... but I guess I will do what I have to do!


In the meantime though, I thought I would tell you a few office personality quirks of mine, which you may or may not know already. Or maybe you knew, but you just didnt realize it.

1. I love post-its, especially the star shaped ones
2. I adore sharpies. So much so that I have a hard time actually using them because I want to "save" them. Practically the stupidest thing EVER.
3. I do one of two things when I am listening to a presentation: I bend paperclips, or I doodle. In particular, I doodle geometric shapes.
4. I dont wear my shoes when im at my desk
5. I am utterly anal retentive about the state of my computer desktop. It has to be as minimalistic as possible and if I can make the icons symmetrical on either side of the desktop, that is perfect.
6. college ruled paper rules
7. I cant sit on my chair in a normal way. I usually either have my knees up to my chest or im sitting on one leg or slouching at an incredible angle.
8. I dont like shopping at the mall, but I have no problem going to staples "just to look"
9. I am slightly obsessive over my desktop picture... it has to be fairly plain so that the icons are clearly visible, but interesting at the same time. I could never do a picture of someone, its just too detailed.
10. I like everything to be at neat angles. Its pathetic.



So do you think you would want to be my co-worker? I am not anal retentive about other peoples desks and stuff... I dont know what my real problem is. I do know, however, that I really am wasting time... so I guess I will get back to work now.
