Core Competence: Wasting Time

That is my job at work and I’m so good at it I do it at home. I have been hammering away at a 9-10 page paper for the past… entire day. And I just reached page five. The topic is my negotiation skills – why I am a bad negotiator, and what I need to do to fix it.
So far, I have learned:

  • Distracting yourself is a great way to resist temptation and boost your willpower.
  • It’s also a great way to waste time.
  • I want a marshmallow.
  • Everybody was in cahoots with the Bush administration to torture people.
  • Correction:  It’s not really torture.  They had doctors present.  Or maybe it was torture and those weren’t really doctors.
  • It’s shad season in Washington.
  • Princess and the Frog!  This year!
