As I finished up that last post, it occurred to me that sometime in the past…oh I don’t know how long…I had acquired the habit of saying I am busy. I’ve said that a lot in life and when things are not so busy I say, “oh things are pretty good…not much going on you know…”, but lately - always busy. I was curious as to how much I riddle this site with mentions of being busy so I searched “busy” and excel-ed the results:

Now, I don’t think I could take this to court or anything - there are too few sample points. But it still speaks something to me. I am also guessing that if I were to include my “busy” utterances over phone conversations and text chats, my data set would escalate into something very much statistically significant.

Please note that the Aug 2006 mention is not this post.
