how i spend a LOT of my time these days, or so it would seem



Calls to mind No Doubt's "Waiting Room" even though the essence of the song is about something quite different. Sigh.
Yup. That's what my time looks like alright. Oh wait - I've got to go. There's my boarding call!
Uh... sorry - that was just the TV. I think I'm having flashbacks.
