Work.

I never post much about work.
I have a job that I putter away at, it's sometimes aggravating, sometimes okay.
Not being a very ambitious person (and what I mean by that is I have no desire to make it to the 'top' only to be stressed out and anxiety ridden while standing there) so I do what I need to do, and go home at the same time everyday.

I know that it doesn't sound glamorous, and it's not.
But, I'll never fool myself into believing that I'm only as important as my job title.
It's a pity that that belief is so rampant.
What I DO like about my job is that I know it so well I can do it with my eyes closed, and have plenty of time to entertain myself during the rest of the day.
I love to read, so http://www.gutenberg.org/ is a wonderful site.
I read "Alice in Wonderland" one afternoon, and "Vanity Fair" over a few days...not to mention, "Far From the Madding Crowd."
All the classics, right there at my finger tips for my reading pleasure.

And obviously I like to write, so I have lots of time to sit and contemplate posts and stories and anything worthy of being transcribed into reading material.

Yeah, I know.

Maybe it's a bit dodgy to not actually WORK at work.
But on the other hand, I am improving my mind while I'm here...I'm not surfing porn or checking out the latest gossip that surrounds Ms. Hilton like so much airy pink cotton candy around a (very thin) stick.
I'm actively engaged in making myself a better, more interesting person.
Ain't that great?

Now, just how am I going to explain that to my employer when they finally catch on?
I really doubt my intellectual advancements would interest them one little bit.
Pity.
