Parkinson's Law, or Scientific Proof I'm Not Lazy
The trouble with being unemployed is that, for all of your best intentions, doing ANYTHING seems to take forever, and effect otherwise known as Parkinson's Law. So its not that I'm lazy per se, its just a weird side-effect of human psychology that work expands to fill the time available to do it. Its nice to have an academic tell me I'm not being lazy, cos I sure feel that way... It's not even deliberate, I start each day with fine intentions but somehow before I even get out of bed (normally an hour or so later than I'd planned) its all gone awry... instead of a quick cup of tea I'll take my time, drink it slowly, surf the net a little, read my net comics. Then I'll probably have a quick half hour of gaming, then I'll stick News24 on and see what's goin on in the world... and before you know it, it's lunch time! I need more willpower, or fewer distractions, or maybe both.I was listening to mp3s on my phone when I wandered to the shops this afternoon, that was fun! And they were ALL soppy ones too, including a certain special song... I will say this though, having finally got a portable mp3 player, I wonder why I thought I needed one when it takes all of six minutes to walk to Tesco from here...
