Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock
So here am I at work, looking for things to entertain me between calls. In comes this article by Heidi. Her style of writing is borderline hokey, but I enjoy it, because it sounds clever. Way to go girl!
Hour and a half to go, and you're helping me push through!

And I mean no disrespect by calling the style hokey. What I meant was, it includes those quaint little word plays that I enjoy so much.
I'm easily entertained when I'm at work A good writing style is so easy to miss when all you're looking for is information. However, when a guy like me, who barely cares about Nancy Drew, is simply looking for a good read, these articles are pure joy. Thanks again.

I work in a Washington Mutual call center in Bothell, just couple'a minutes away from my house. (I don't really live in Seattle, in case you're wondering )

The next time I call WaMu for something I'll be like "hey, this isn't Mares from Adventuregamers.com is it?
