An Afternoon Off

by admin - 23:18 on 04 March 2010

My work for the Chief Gnome was carried out so efficiently today that there was nothing left for me to do at Great Northern Media Empire HQ after lunch, so I got the afternoon off. It felt like getting out of school early.

The bad news, as a penurious freelance, is that I don’t get paid for the afternoon, and – with typical timing – the glorious blue skies we’ve enjoyed for the past two days disappeared at almost the moment I heard the door of GNoME’s grim portal slam behind me.

So I spent my unexpectedly free afternoon with a good book. Simple pleasures.

Band Update: Yesterday evening, Monkey Bones (minus Jim) fought through the snow drift created by the microclimate that makes Gordon’s studio such a challenging place to reach. Even his 4x4 was parked at the bottom of the drive. Progress is still slow, but we’re getting there.
