    Rookie mistake. The best way to procrastinate is to set everything up so you could work on it and then not do it. What’s the fun in procrastination when not actively defying work?

      I like having the work I’m procrastinating up on my second monitor so that if I happen to feel a 30 second burst of productivity it doesn’t go to waste.

        I unplugged my lan, thrown my mobile to the other side of the room, opened everything that I needed. And still ended up just walking up & down thinking about random stuff.

    Time to find out if someone else has access, and can make a copy and send it to you, and then you can play dumb about where/how you got your copy.

          Corporate gets involved

          There are now 18 (10 Old and 8 new but conflicting) sources of truth

          We reduced departmental inefficiency by 50% (20 to 10). Round of applause

    This hits way too close to home. Had something similar happen last week. I knew the task would be simple but didn’t realize I needed a different API key to test it locally. Lucky my boss is also a slacker like me.

    ‘so weird, my permissions were fine before and now they’re gone? Can you give me access again? Ah fuck, all my work didn’t save either… Gonna need another week.’
