Plan vs. Reality
Author: Jayne10 Oct
Plan: Take a shower before getting online.
Reality: It was too cold this morning to want to get naked before noon so I just bundled up in a robe instead.
Plan: Ignore stats, IMs, and email until I’d actually done some, you know, werk.
Reality: It was too cold this morning to want to work before noon, and I had some really tasty email, and my best friend IMed me with a “situation”, and I needed to look at my stats anyway so I could write my About Blogging article, so I might as well do it first thing. Not only that I was bundled up in a huge robe so it made it difficult to get the range of arm motion I need to type in a werkerly manner.
Plan: Look at placing google adverts in posting section of a forum I run.
Reality: After two hours of reading and browsing said forum, I forgot why I was there.
Plan: Look at ways to better monetise some of my non-goofy blogs. (i.e. not this one… haha)
Reality: Ooh, look! Shiny sparkly things on the internet! I wonder where this link goes!
Plan: Look for relevant Amazon products to add to other websites in affiliate sections.
Reality: Remembered that article I wrote about Amazon And Your Ass , and got distracted in the Sexual Wellness section of Amazon again and began to idly wonder what the flower is for on the Hitachi Magic Wand Massager .
My conclusion from all this self-analysis?
I’m well grounded in reality! Score!

hilarious…I’m with ya sistah
your blog is awesome. I really enjoyed reading it. I will definatley be back foe more.
At least you had a plan - of sorts.
the best laid plans, eh? too true too true!
Sounds about right to me. That pretty much sums up my time online. About 50% success rate with actually doing what I think I’m going to do when I first turn on the computer.
Though I have to say that I am really good at going to the gym. I go M,W,F and I run on T,TH. This is because I must have a 7-11 coffee roll to start my day. I am well aware that the coffee roll is the worst thing ever for the human body. But it’s good for me overall, because after I’ve already eaten it, I think “Wow, that was bad for me. I’d better exercise.” So the cycle gets repeated each day. If I stopped eating the coffee roll and kept exercising, I’d probably lose 30 pounds the first week, but if I did stop eating the coffee roll, I might lose my exercise guilt and not do it. A real catch-22.
frogster,
in the spirit of bitter banter, there are far more worse things for the human body than 7-11 coffee rolls, and exercise isn’t required. bullets and brain eating ameobas are two that come to mind almost immediately. and then maybe the rolls.
Well, as long as you’re well grounded, that’s all that matters.
Excellent - I am not the only person in the world to have such wonderful, best-laid plans. The description of your day seems to happen to me every weekend. I only get changed out of my robe if I run out of cigs and have to run to the shops for more - otherwise, I could quite easily die in it and get buried for ever anon…bliss!
you and I and agnes share the very same reality! Which probably makes it a cult, but…..it is what it is.
to reply ont he things above.
I love shiny sparkly things to!! *blink* *blink*
This is so me! Unfortunately, I\’d have to add - son comes charging in the room, wondering why the heck I spend so much time blogging, then leaves. Returns a short time later to warn me that he will start a blog about me and my wayward ways and leaves. This plus reading and browsing around keep me from following my plan. All these interruptions promote constant bouts of amnesia, but you\’re right, it feels good to be grounded in reality!
Sounds like a pretty normal day to me!
