Saw “Sky High” the other night with KL and now she’s calling me hero support, in my capacity as her helper in the business. That’s okay. Though I always thought “hero support” was a reference to Superman’s jock.
Sometimes I subtlely remind her that I am in fact the chief financial backer of the company. But really, I enjoy my (honourary) title as president of R&D. (Honourary because I think at best I’m vice president).
We recently developed heart-shaped white chocolate bark with chopped up cinnamon hearts in it. I developed an innovative way to mold them into hearts. It’s a company secret, so I won’t tell, but I got a gold star from the teacher for my idea.
I am not at work today, at least not on campus. Instead, I am working from home, going over old files and reading about all the transgressions of beverage room operators in the Niagara region. I know, I know, far from the world of hero support for the pastry chef, but it’s a living. Research, that is.
Most of this blog is based on inside jokes and, really, allusions, so I suspect you won’tunderstand it, or find it in any way interesting. I won’t apologize. I write this blog more to give KL the occasional thrill of reading my blog and seeing that her old man boyfriend is actually blogging. How odd. I remember using the internet when Netscape was Mosaic and we searched on a system called “gopher.” Now Netscape is Firefox, and we use a system called the internet. But blogging, well, that’s a whole different thing entirely.
As if I really need another form of procrastination.
I read recently that studies show email is a primary form of procrastination. So I’ve begun to minimize my email checking, and in its place I’m blogging. It reminds me of when I selfrighteously woudl note how little time I spent watching TV, but then one day realized all that time was spent playing “Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds” on my computer. Letting one inane cathode ray tube replace another.
As the sign on my office door says: Hard work pays off in the long run, but procrastination pays off now.
