I get distracted easily.
No, not at work. Not when I’m busy.. but like this. When my mind is idle and I am staring at my screen wondering how I am going to put my thoughts into words. Then a book on my shelf catches my eye and I walk over to pick it up and the next thing I know, 30 minutes have passed and I’m up to chapter two and I remember my blog. I discover an old Sex and The City link, and manage to kill a good 20 minutes on it reading all the quotes from seasons 1-6 and forget my blog again. Then my work email blinks and I have to wonder who on earth is still in the office at this hour, but it turns out to be spam. However that’s enough to get me started on replying emails for a good hour. And throughout the whole time, I’m still composing an entry at the back of my mind.
While talking to Alex. While talking to Sharon. While talking to Steve. While eating dinner. While replying SMSes while talking to Steve on my mobile. While selecting new songs for the iPod. While chatting on MSN. Oh, and get this: WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TAKE DOWN NEFARIAN FOUR TIMES. (Blizzard skipped maintenance today for some reason)
And for some reason I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything at all.

that’s what being idle is all about, isn’t it? drifting from half-task to half-task…
