Tuesday at the office

I once swore Tuesday is the most productive day of the work week.
Monday and Friday are out. Thursday gets close enough to Friday that by the afternoon things are dicey. Wednesday can be solid, too. But Tuesday--so long as it's not raining or a Full Moon or Election Day--Tuesday is the workhorse of the work week.

Now that I'm writing a dissertation, productivity is more elusive and less predictable.
I have identified a consistent mid-afternoon slump though.

During today's slump I got sucked down the rabbit hole that is Facebook.
I still haven't signed up, but I did look at someone's friends--and then someone else's friends--and then someone else's friends. Whoa.
Two themes emerged: most of my high school friends and acquaintances still live in Georgia & most of them put their smiling kids faces on Facebook.
I'm less inclined to go to a high school reunion than I before I saw that.

Facebook, whole days of my life could vanish in your portals.
Hours and hours that I could never get back.
You remain 'strictly off limits.'
