Ever had one of those days when you do everything except what you're supposed to, and the more you remind yourself of what you should be doing, the more you end up doing everything else?
Well, today is definitely one of those days for me! 😅
I don’t really understand what your job is about …
Oh it’s a bit of everything. I code in the blue window, then take notes in the white one, watch the presentation on the small screen, then open the terminal to very serious server admin.
So I don’t go on LinkedIn a lot. But I happened to be on there recently and saw a thing in my inbox. My friend’s son, who’d done my website, had sent a request for a recommendation. I wrote something immediately. (I get things done!) Got this back.
Displacement activity: A fancy word for unwitting #procrastination, when you are in the middle of writing something terrific, you're in the flow, and all your senses are over stimulated (#actuallyautistic) and you simply must go do something else. Sweeping the floor, maybe? Writing a mastodon post? Check!
Why am I hanging around here? #Procrastination. I have to write a French promotional text for myself with trous de mites in meinem Gehirn.
The worst thing is that the topic only exists in English, but some visitors don't like foreign languages. 🙄 How do I tell them ... about my workshop for #VisibleMending! Je travaille sur la définition succincte en français. :clippy:
Back from the hospital and on the way to recovery. It'll be a couple of weeks until I'm back to full strength, and I intend to take full advantage of being a poor, sick little puppy (lazy bastard) to rest up as much as possible. Fortunately, writing doesn't take much physical effort. Thanks again for all your well-wishing and kind words.
Woke up early to be ready to make a call in European time zones. Failed to pick up the phone so far. It’s now 16:26 there and I can officially stay in the pool thinking about how I should have done it.
Today I had a ton of chores to do, so I dug my rocks out and took pictures of some of them. Now I guess I will do the chores, but when I sit down I will play with the photos and post the results in this thread. Will probably add to it every now and again for a while.
This piece makes the hippie part of my soul happy, what with looking like yin and yang on one side. About an inch and a half in diameter, smoky quartz.
I'm spending too much time organising my #dotfiles. This isn't even making config changes, this is one meta level of #procrastination higher; I'm just trying to organise them.
🧵 1/ A thread about the crazy project of planning an #exhibition stand in only 3 days!
Procrastinators have one strength: they really come into their own under time pressure! I stood in for an exhibitor at the Fibreart Festival at extremely short notice. I didn't have any #displays or material for the stand. I have to set it up on Thursday, and I still have umpteen appointments beforehand. What the hell can I do?
