what real work isn't

real work is not staring at the computer screen waiting for a new email to come in
real work is not wondering why the water tastes so bad here then googling to find out
real work is not planning to tidy the house then getting distracted by the next question so going back to computer to google it
real work is not taking a bath or shower
real work is not trying to figure out how long it takes to drive to Wanganui/Wellington/Auckland from here by looking at the excedingly long driving times given on the AA travel times website
real work is not staring at the wall thinking about doing real work
real work is not writing about all the things I am doing in order to not do real work and publishing those things on my blog

sorry, was i not responding quickly enough to your emails. some of us had work to do.

interestingly, i well remember my first visit to np as a wee thing. i got ill because of the water. at least that's what mum blamed. just my wee stomach not being able to cope with all their nasty additives.

wanganui is about an hour and a half going round the coast. patea is exact half way.

wanganui to wellington is about two and a half hours. but you need to gallery visit in wanganui and go out of your way to stop in palmie, so that all adds time.

i can day trip to wangavegaspalmie. but its 3 days to np with gallery stops.

any other questions need answering?!

Ah, avoidance technique's. Know them all intimately.

and to add to them, real work is not replying to someones blog about avoiding real work then going to make a cup of tea, do the dishes and tidy up.

ah yes, comments from the two others who also know well the ins and outs of wasting time on other things but what we should be doing. Not that I am doing that now... no... not at all... mmm tea sounds good
