Get any work done?

Well, this is my first blog entry, and I'm starting it in much the way I suppose most new bloggers have. Not a whole lot on my mind this time except the disorganized state of affairs on my desk, the painfully low-calorie dinner I'll be eating in an hour while others knock back beer and nachos, and the wish for this to be the start of the day rather than the last minutes. I expended great energy today, but did I accomplish any work? Whenever I contemplate energy and work, I am reminded of my 5th grade science lesson where Mr. Hunter tricked everyone into distinguishing the difference between the two. I can push against a stone all day long, sweating and running out of breath but never have accomplished any work. Energy spent, yes. Work done, no. I believe I worked today.
