Wasting company time is just like stealing

In case you were feeling just too darn productive today, I thought I would share with you a fine time-wasting tradition guaranteed to wipe the glaze from your eyes during the 3:00 pm workaday doldrums. Me, I'm still "between gigs" (as we say in the legal profession), so although I force a regimen of normality upon myself to stay sane and optimistic (just because no one is expecting you at nine am doesn't mean you shouldn't bathe and shower and leave the house), I also keep myself in training by playing the odd puzzle game.

My preferred dealer of electro-smack is Popcap Games. You can play them for free on-line, download demos, and purchase for peanuts. Most of their games are available for the Mac and the PC platforms, and I highly recommend Bejeweled, Bookworm, and Zuma. Take it from me: Sudoko is just trendy math, so stop wasting your time there. Waste your time here instead. Once the coloured jewels and balls and letters start flowing on the screen, your brain's addiction-prone pleasure centres will light up like a pinball game.

And, hey, Stephen Notley, creator of "Bob the Angry Flower" works for Popcap, so in a way you're supporting his cartoon too. Bonus.

Good points on the time wasting. I assume since you haven't posted lately, you are now gainfully employed?
