My working hours just changed. Same amount of hours per day, just starting at a different time. For some reason, every day of the first week I was ready 15-20 earlier than usual. (“Usual” = “barely in time to get to work on time”.) ((“On time” = “mostly not on time”)) It’s really stoking some anxiety, both for me wondering what I’ve forgotten and for my co-workers thinking they’re late….
You sound like me back when I used to punch a clock. (Now I just slap my Apple Watch.)
“I don’t want to *procrastinate*!! I don’t, I don’t!!”
…right. As though anyone would believe me!!
Gale, you can’t possibly be as good as me when it comes to procrastinating. Of course, I could be wrong.
Hmm. Perhaps we should have a procrastination competition sometime. Maybe next year. Or the year after. Check your calendar and get back to me–sometime in the next few years.
“My tits are too nice for my life to be like this,” she sobbed.
To quote a Grease song, “Tell me more, tell me more!” Better yet, “Show me more, show me more!”
Well, that certainly looks like a thrilling romance.
Yes, it was and you could read it and a bunch of other stories in that issue for only a dime. Talk about “thrilling!”
