Spring is here!

I know spring and general warm, sunny days have arrived when I roll down my windows only to be hit with a whirlwind of dust and dog hair. Then I have a sneezing fit. I used to always sneeze three times in a row no matter what. But lately, I am finding that the magical number is four.

Anyway, it is Sunday, and I am at work. I don’t usually have to work on Sundays, but I played hooky last Thursday (come on, everyone needs a break at some point) and am trying to make up time/work. Even though I am here, I am not being as productive as I could be because it is Sunday dammit. I am not typically a lazy person, but I do have my moments of taking mental vacations. For example, in lieu of making statistical calculations a while back, I tried to figure out how many words I could spell out on a calculator (when you hold it upside-down). Since 0=o, 1=I, 2=Z, 3=E, 4=H, 5=S, 6=G, 7=L, and 8=B, I was able to come up with 60 words in one sitting. Keep in mind that I am avoiding combinations of words like the reputable, “boobless,” and concentrating on words in their own right. I am sure this list will get bigger, and feel free to help me add some. I really can be a big dork.
