My time is, ahem, too valuable for that

OK, not only am I cranky and cynical, I think I'm a little bit depressed. Or maybe on the way to becoming depressed if I don't take preventive measures immediately.

What decidedly does NOT qualify as a preventive measure is doing online sudoku puzzles. And if I ever find myself thinking that sudoku is a way to get my creative writerly juices flowing, this little note on the LA Times Sudoku page should convince me otherwise: Click "Again" if you want to print out this puzzle for a friend or solve it again yourself!

I may not have the wording exactly right because I can't access the message without completing the puzzle, which I've already done and clicked away from, and like hell am I doing the exact same puzzle AGAIN. Because, you know, I want each sudoku experience to be unique and original.
