A Little Down Time At Work

I need art like I need my coffee. First thing in the morning and several cups to last me through the day.

Greetings all! I hope you're all having a great day! I am, although it has been and interesting day so far. The only reason I’m posting right now is because we had a couple of software related technical difficulties at work and I’ve currently got nothing to do. So, I figured I’d post. Of course, given the current circumstances, I don’t really have a lot to say, so I’ve decided to give you a little description of what it is that I do during the day.

Well, it’s really quite simple. I sit in front of a computer all day and enter client data into a program called CRM, which runs through Microsoft Outlook. That is the program that “blew up” (CRM, not Outlook). That is really all I do. So, I try and figure out ways to “spice up” my day. There are a couple of ways I have found to do this. The biggest and most effective way is my iPod. Really, I thank God for my iPod right now. Without it I’d be so bored I don’t know how I’d survive. The second way I have found is to take hourly breaks. Every hour I take a 5 – 10 minute break and browse around the internet (I try to keep it at 5, but every so often I lose track of time and it ends up being about 10). Mostly I just stay right here on TheOtaku and comment and stuff, but I also roam about DeviantArt, AnimePaper, and other art sites and enjoy what there is to enjoy. I’ve really found a lot of interesting stuff. I’ve seen more art in the past few weeks than I ever did in my own free time. It’s amazing what good can come out of boredom.

All right, we just got the word that the program has been fixed. So I have to get back to work. I was pretty much finished with this post anyway. I hope you all have a great day! See ya ‘round TheO!
