Losing Battle

6 November 2021

Prompt: You work alone from home, logged on to your work PC. One day you log on, and start your routine. You look at the clock on your desktop and eight hours have passed, but you have no memory of getting any tasks done. Tell us what might have happened to you during those eight hours.

"Aww hell! I must've done it again," I thought to myself. "When am I going to learn not to open additional tabs when I'm supposed to be working?"

Other Me: "Work is boring though. What's wrong with a little bit of time on WDC every now and then throughout the day?"

Responsible Me again: "I don't get paid to go on WDC, or to play that farming game either. I need to get my priorities straight, work when it's time to work. There's plenty enough time to write and play after that."

Other Me: "Whatever. Already know I'm gonna do the same thing again tomorrow. At least I was logged in to the work computer...that's what they go by. Not how much work I get done"

Responsible Me: "This really is a losing battle. Work can't compete with WDC!"
