It’s deja-vu all over again
On this long weekend, instead of being outside, roaming from picnic table to cooler to the grill a la Yogi Bear, I sit at home, attempting to work on my marketing report project for class.
It’s like undergrad all over again!
Of course, when I say “work on” I really mean watching TV, randomly wandering around the internets [I need to distracting sites! One can only check Facebook so many times. Oh wait, I think one of my crops are ready for harvest!] and doing practically anything not directly related to my project, like cleaning my room, though I could easily argue that the mess was mentally distracting and now that it’s all cleaned up, my mind is open and free to think! Of course, I have managed to fit in some remotely related project activities, like weighing packages.
Weighing packages? Oh, I didn’t tell you? My marketing report is on my fudge. Yes, the crack fudge. Or as Pat likes to call it, “chococrack.” Since I revamped the recipe to make it a bit more me [though I am still working on some additional tweeks], I thought it would be a fantastic topic to do my report on, especially since I get a lot of questions about whether or not I should sell it. I figured, since I have to do a thorough research assignment on the possibility of actually going into business, this would be a great fit.
So that leads me to here. Needing to do a bit more research and the only problem is that this research is online, meaning it’s just so easy to wander away down the road to read the latest news update, or check up on some blogs, look at my TweetDeck or see if that crop is ready for a harvestin’.
Nope, not yet.
Sometimes I think I’d be more productive on a computer that doesn’t have internet connection; then I remember we had those. They were called typewriters. But then I realize that it doesn’t matter, I would find a way to not focus on the work and get myself distracted. Maybe that rug could go for a nice vacuuming. Or hey! look! SOLITAIRE!
And to think, I haven’t even had a nap today. I guess that happens when I sleep through the night and wake up at 8:30. Ahh, 8+ hours of sleep. And no ants!
Oh, the ants. They ruined my Friday morning. I was prepared to sleep in on my first day of my four day weekend except they had other plans for me. Other plans that included bothering my mom so much that she felt compelled to CLEAN the room she was sleeping in. And clean it so loudly that I woke up. AT 6:30 IN THE MORNING.
And when I emerged from my room, disheveled and confused, she looked at me and said, “Oh, you’re not going to work today? I’m glad you’re up. NOW I CAN VACUUM.”
And she did. Oy vey.
