Thrown to paper and wasted: I can’t even concentrate on this, it’s overthought, anticipated

Hanging out at the art store, originally uploaded by yaznotjaz.

It’s never a good idea to blog about work, but I would just like to say: It’s not a part of my job description to waste time answering idiotic questions like, “What should I label this box? ‘Scratch paper’? Or ‘Scrap paper’?”

I am a very important person and I have much more valuable things to do with my time - like eating doughnuts for lunch.

no! you can totally blog about work as long as you don’t mention names or places.

Nothing must come between a rockstar and the donuts that fuel her stardom!

Ramadan mubarik :)

Anjum,
I guess some people just don’t KNOW such things, and must be TOLD. they don’t know anything, especially the fact that i am above such trivialities (is that a word?).

yaser,
oooh, thanks for the heads-up. so THAT’S how it’s done (also, you know i lowve blogging about work. just gotta be careful). also, i saw your note on my above photo, and, since i’m not sure how often you log into flickr, i’ll reply here: i totally thought that was arabic calligraphy when i first saw it, too! seeing this photo again, months (years?) later, i did a double-take all over again. good eyes on ya. =)

baraka,
you have been missed, and it makes me smile to see you back in blogistan. clearly, YOU understand the rockstarishness! we must hang out soon, and i’ll wear my ‘elvis pants’ again, for old times’ sake.

Ramadhan Mubarak Yaz!
I was just reading through some of your older posts. Would it be possible for you to send me the Burda via email? Address there above. Jazakallah :)

“scrappy paper”

I was thinking of you when I read this line
in my “The Writers Bones”…

“We think of details as daily and mundane. Even miracles are mundane happenings that
an awakened mind can see
in a fantastic way.”

I love that photo - I am quite addicted to
paper shopping - I use it in my journals quite a bit:)

Ramadan Mubarak girly!

Scrap or scratch? Yep, this is what you went to college for.

And btw, what exactly do you DO? I never thought to ask.

Ramadan Mubarak to you and your family :)

DONUTS!!! mmmmmm

Ya Haqq!

oh yes and nothing - NOTHING is more
important than doughnuts:)

Why, scrap, of course. Set ‘em straight with your rockstar knowledge. Even the mundane must be run past a true authority on life!

How about ‘open the box and check yourself’… Ramadan Mubarak dude :)
