“You should really get these papers sorted out immediately,” my mom said over the phone.
“Oh yeah, sure, absolutely,” I said.
Then after the call I took a nap. Then after the nap I watched halfway through a 38 hour video essay on YouTube. Then I actually went to sleep. I woke up to find the video essay was removed for violating YouTube terms of service.
I switched to my work machine and got ready for a remote meeting.
“Task #573 can probably be delayed for the next four months,” my boss said.
After the meeting, I finished developing task #573 in about two hours, and took a break for lunch.
When the workday was finally over I visited a friend and we went indoor skydiving.
The next day was a day off during which I got sixth place in the municipal hotdog eating contest.
A couple days passed and when the weekend rolled aorund, my mom called.
“So did you get those papers sorted out?” she asked.
