break time

back when i worked at an ad agency, i almost always took afternoon breaks, even tho the pace was "accelerated" most days. i think most creative people do this, the trick is just not to flaunt it in front of the account staff.

anyway, my breaks usually consisted of standing on the outside of the building facing the parking lot, while a "fellow" coworker smoked. sometimes, there were multiple smokers. and me. even though i am not nor have i ever been a smoker, i was there for the complaining. because that is what we did. smoked and complained. how relaxing. or not.

nowadays, my breaks are different. for the first few years i did not really TAKE one, because i was not that busy, so all day long kind of seemed breakish. then, when it started to seem like i worked more 8 to 5ish, i brought back the "break." i like them better now, mostly because i am not smoking probably :)) he.

today on break i assembled one of my new trellises (i got two) in the living room. they are for the beans and beans and beans that i am planning on growing. i assembled one because i wanted to get a sense for how large it would be. it's not TOO big, but neither is my garden. two of these should be JUST right.

ahhh. one step closer to spring now. my neighbor and i actually stood out in the alley and chit chatted for a bit today. have not seen him since october, so it was nice. i told him that my beans were going to kick his beans' butts!!!
