OT: Friday Open Posbang (?) Thread: Whatcha Working On?

In case you've already read Brian's comprehensive front pager about receivers individual stats in recent years and are looking for some good, clean fun, here's an off-topic question for those "hard" at work this warm, sunny Friday afternoon:

Watcha working on there in the office (or wherever you are)?

Me, I'm sitting on what is possibly boringest** of boring conference calls about the policies and procedures of escheating unclaimed funds to the state.

(I should be honest:  I'm actually reading the blog and watching Battlefield 3 videos on YouTube as the speaker drones on in the background.)

(**new word)

 

Disgruntled former moderator.  I got a lot of problems with you people!
