Have you ever experienced a time when you’ve had an exceedingly full plate and everything seemed to be working against your efforts to be productive? I can quite honestly say that’s how I feel right now. I know I probably spend too much time talking about being busy (there are lots of extremely busy individuals out there, afterall), but I it’s just something I feel I’ve got to get off my chest. Last night, I needed to sit down and get some serious work done so I ordered some food and started preparing to do work. What do I do? I go and fall asleep–before I even get the food that I ordered no less! When I wokek up, I looked at the clock and realized I’d slept a whole night away. While it’s true that most people sleep the night away, I just didn’t have time last night. Uggh! I probably got charged for the food I ordered and never received, too.
As it stands now, I’ll be working all day long just to get caught up, and after that, I’ll have to start working overtime just to get back where I need to be. There’s just no way around it; I need to get on top of things A.S.A.P. as I have a really busy upcoming week and getting even further behind would put me into a state of extreme panic/hysteria. If that were to happen, I just couldn’t be held responsible for my actions. I mean such crazed states of mind could lead to me doing such things as:
- Performing ballet in a tutu in the middle of a crowded area.
- Learning to knit naked in a public place.
- Creating mattress made completely of jello.
- Inventing imaginary people to talk to.
- Talking to imaginary people on a disconnected phone while wearing high heels.
- Thinking I’m the king of “Ooompapamaomao”!
- Extreme road rage causing me to shoot silly string at those who angered me.
Oh yes, I find these outrageous acts to be absolutely terrifying as well. If I plan on avoiding such actions, I’d better get all over this work I have like a fat kid on a cupcake. Hmmm, I should probably make that more politically correct if I want to avoid receiving letters from disgruntled readers battling with weight. Maybe something like, “I’d better start tackling that work like a gravitationally challenged individual would a mini-sized cake covered with artificial confections.” Yes, yes… that’s better. To probability homework and beyond!
I definitely need to join you “upstream” club. Where all we do is talk about how much work we have and never really get it done.
i would love to sign up for classes on knitting naked in a public place.
cool!
My bouts of insanity seem extreme compared to yours… Taking up the occupation of Axe Murder was one of them (that way you could kill two birds with one stone, or axe as it be). But I think your I’ll adopt more relatively healthy insanity. Less people tend to die with silly string.
Tanya: Feel free to hop on board. I can’t exactly say that it’s “the more the merrier”, but at least we can all endure the extreme stress together.
apryl: If I find any classes on naked public knitting, I’ll be sure to let you know. Until then, I imagine it’ll be trial and error during my bouts of insanity.
Michael: It’s not that I don’t feel like engaging in acts of extreme rage, but rather, I’m scared I might raise the Homeland Security Alert Level if I do anything too radical. That being the case, I also really like silly string, and any chance I have to use it, I’m gonna take it!
