Uncompelling Mysteries: Spousal Snooping Edition
I am supposed to be writing my dissertation, which is big and scary and thus encourages procrastination. Today I engaged in level 4 procrastination, the levels of procrastination being as follows:
Today I did look inside, mostly because I'm nosy and the office was formerly my husband's dumping ground for weird items from his past, but also a little bit because I enjoy storing small items in receptacles, much like a raven or squirrel, and thought this might be something I could commandeer for my own use. Would it be empty or would it be full of things? An uncompelling mystery, indeed!
Q: What does my husband keep in that little two-drawer storage unit in the office, anyway?
A: Top drawer, shoe maintenance supplies; bottom drawer, ostrich egg, bangle carved with elephants, and South African antacid.
To be honest, the shoe polish was more of a surprise than the ostrich egg.
- Level 1: Not even trying to do the thing that needs to be done, e.g. watching The X-Files on Netflix and knitting;
- Level 2: Doing something that is useful, but has nothing to do with the thing that needs to be done, e.g. cleaning or paying bills;
- Level 3: Doing something useless, but in physical proximity to the thing that needs to be done, e.g. using the computer to read DListed with the document dissertation.scriv open behind the browser;
- Level 4: Doing something that ostensibly will help you to get more work done in the future, but ensures you get nothing at all done now, e.g. rearranging furniture in the office.
