It was a phone call. That’s literally it. I spent months procrastinating making a phone call that ended up being short and virtually painless.

    Fucking congrats fella!!!

    I’m trying to do at least twenty… Ten… At least ten minutes of work each hour.

    But I don’t dare make any of the phone calls or emails I’m supposed to be doing, that shits too daunting.

      I am very present on Teams helping wherever I can. But I have done almost none of the documentation or project analysis I should have

        The worst thing about having a massive workload is I’ll likely never get through all the tasks in time.

        The best is thing is when I’m in a constant sprint from one task to the next, it’s easier to lie to myself and say “I can’t do the documentation now, but I’ll get to it later when it’s quiet”

        But it never gets quiet anymore.

    My credit card has been auto-pay since I got it. I lost my phone and changed my number like a year ago. Most things I was forced to call up/fix the 2FA to point to my new number, but not that… until about 2 weeks ago when it said that the set payment was less than the minimum payment.

    I finally called them up about 2 days ago, assuming it would take at least a half hour. It was like 3 minutes dealing with the stupid phone menu, and then like 5 minutes talking to a really pleasant guy.

    After close to a year, I finally have access to my credit card account haha.

          There was a while there that I was getting my car inspected right on schedule EVERY 2 years.

          My state has annual inspections.

            In Virginia, there are only 3 colors for inspection stickers. I figure if you dodge cops for two full years expired you earned that free matching color year.

              California had a new color seemingly every year, my buddy took 7 years to get pulled over. He’s a rich fuck too, no idea why he didn’t pay his registration.

            I rarely ever say this but thanks Michigan, for making me forget car inspections are a thing

            Also red light cameras and speed cameras and other camera traffic enforcement, illegal here

            Don’t be too jealous though everything else inspired by the car companies’ influence is shite

                True! I’m so glad I discovered a dispo that has 1G live resin vape carts for $11 (!) before tax. And this is rec! Wish I still had my medcard so I wouldn’t have to pay the sin tax lol

    Congrats, OP. We all know the very real problem that is. I have several of those waiting to get done, some are even things I want to do! You’ve earned a cookie.

    I’m procrastinating a very easy task as well. I’ve been putting it off because I am sick. It’ll take like 5 mins and I just can’t get myself to do it.
