Low productivity days

I'm back at work. It has been raining and raining since early this morning. It's the kind of weather meant for snuggling under the blanket with a book and a hot cup of tea, not for hitching up the pants and wading through cold, dirty puddles of rain to catch a bus that will splash water at you as it zooms past.

But I'm dry as long as I remain in the office, and all I've done this morning could have been accomplished in about 5 minutes flat. I reserve the right to a low productivity morning the day after Christmas. I'm just not cranked up yet.

Typically, on a low productivity day -- all my colleagues are moving in slow mo too -- the servers also want to take a break. So just one hour ago, while I was sitting in the pantry having my scrounged together lunch (half a can of opened tuna, three slices of toasted frozen bread and a cup of minestrone soup), we stopped receiving emails.

The servers know what's good for them. I think I'll go cut up some Christmas log cake now.
