Simple Puzzleheadedness
(which is a googlewhack, when using the content filter)
So there is nothing going on at work. Monstrous, flaming pies of nothing. It's lunch, and I've spent circa 10 minutes working. (I typed a label! Go me!) So instead, I'm scanning through my puzzling options. I whacked Google for a bit, then moved on to my crosswords. New York Times and LA Times Syndicate went down in thirty-two and eighteen minutes, respectively. Not bad. I then went over to the National Puzzlers' League. I'm a member of this group, which publishes a small magazine for members containing a goodly amount of tricky word puzzles (in verse, even). There's been a delay in printing, so the February issue became available only today, and the March installment will follow early next week. Further, I've only a few days left to finish up my work on the January issue; solutions are due this week. The delays have distracted me from that work, and I've fallen far behind. Further still, I still don't have a puzzle to bring to the Local NPL Chapter "Puzzling Party," this Saturday. Maybe it's good that there's no work today.

Four minutes for each of NYT and LAT. That's pretty much my wall.
