How I did it
It made me
pleased 
How I did it: Duh. Go to swarmsketch. Read directions. Have fun. Okay, 43 Things is asking for more about how I did this. swarmsketch is a fun site where people add lines to create an image. The image looks like nothing when it begins, but it slowly builds to resemble something that loosely looks like whatever that particular image is supposed to be. You have to have an imagination and a willingness to be creative to participate. That's all, folks. Read how I did it…

Did anybody raise their hand? Is their anybody who is thrilled to go to work tomorrow? I need to talk to that person right away.
Every Sunday it’s the same thing…the dread, the apprehension, the sheer terror. Could I hide in the closet so they can’t make me go? Could I cower under the covers? Could I commit myself so that I don’t have to go anymore and not think about it.
I know, I know in this terrible economy I should just be happy I have a job…any job.
I hate going to job every day where there are over ninety-some people who hate you and don’t want to do what you want them to do.
I’m wondering if anyone out there is a waiter. Do you like your job? After you leave work, does the stress of the day leave? Is your free time, really free-time?
I really like to keep them on a good worming schedule. The horses are really furry. I have a feeling it’s going to be a long hard winter.
It amazes me to think that people used to live hundreds of years ago out in this weather with very little shelter…hunting their own food, etc. Heck, I go out to the barn to worm the horses, and my hands are frozen by the time I’m done. The people that settled this area hundreds of years ago were certainly tougher people than me. It always makes me feel like such a wimp.
