Friday Mutterings

So Mel keeps answering the phone before me taking away the small hope that a random phone call will break me out of my desk funk. Oh Todd from the US Studies centre just invited me to hear Harriett Fulbright (widow of Senator Fulbright - of Fulbright Scholarship fame) speak this excites me. Also today I'm in the process of orgainising flowers for the men folk at Dee's wedding. I should be cleaning my desk and working on some budget papers but all I really want to do is have a nap on the couch. Can anyone break this funk.

Good Luck Matt S
