The truth is, the above Olympics graphic has very little to do with what Bossy is about to say. She just thought she’d include it since it took her fifteen minutes to create, what with the colored circles, and then the white circles within the colored circles — and then Bossy realized the actual Olympic symbol has intertwining rings and, yeah, anyway.
Bossy was going to write about the Olympics, until she realized she didn’t have much to say beyond: Is Dick Button a name or a medical syndrome?
Perhaps Bossy is just tired of the sound of her own voice, where sound of her voice equals this constant clacking of her fingers against computer keyboard.
Or maybe Bossy is just tired, having stayed up too late for the past umpteen days watching men in rubberized lycra romp in snowdrifts.
Bossy can sum up her desire to write today in this way: What desire to write? Nope, Bossy can’t find it anywhere.
Bossy doesn’t want to write or talk, she just wants to listen. Which is what today’s Ten-Word Challenge is all about. In exactly ten words, can you please tell Bossy and her council what you’ve been up to lately?
And be sure to check back later today for the most brevity-filled updates on the web.
If you missed last week’s challenge, click here to find out exactly who and what Bossy’s council would surround themselves with if caught in a blizzard.
