Before her the list stretched out, long and lean. Seemingly endless like a set of railroad tracks heading for the horizon. Lines eventually ran together as she studied it and, seeing nothing appealing, rewrote it and numbered it, masterfully delaying the progress.
Hearing the Sirens' Call from the other side of the desk she logs on for just a moment. It's early, 7 am, plenty of time. Besides there's email to check. Work to do. Who's online now? What's going on? Status Update. Quick tweet. Check email again. Wait, four o'clock already?
Status Update: "The list still endless for tomorrow."

ReplyDeleteThe amount of times I've tweeted "Wait, is that the time?!" has to be in the hundreds. I once spent an hour trying to find my first tweet.

Been there, done that! I have to keep lists of my lists.
