I spent a great deal of today hiding out and trying to do a few items that were, once, part of the actual job I am theoretically supposed to do on a daily basis. Several of my coworkers had gotten themselves trapped on tasks on the other side of the building for our other project.

I’ve often thought that I don’t try to make myself very conspicuous unless I need to get something from someone else, but after lunch, one of my dear coworkers commented that “Jeff’s like a cat, he’ll come around when he’s ready for attention.” I’m not entirely sure that was a compliment, but I found it pretty apt.
