First, I want to say squee that you're using one of my icons. If I made more, would you use them (I'm feeling the itch to play in Photoshop).

Augh for the no work to do. That would drive me nuts. And office sharing? How are you supposed to adjust your panties and other things of that nature when you have to share an office? But it rocks that you'll get time to work on your book! Yea, FM!

The writing will make it all worth while. Especially when Dorcester calls you back. *crossing fingers and toes*

Hey, I'm with the consensus that says you should take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself. Yes, being at work with nothing to do can be more than a little frustrating. However, it's not as if you can't find *other* things to keep you occupied. And if they're willing to pay you for "playing" then who are we to say it's wrong?

Hooray! A job that doesn't give a shit what you do. Here's to more writing time and gettting paid for it!
