Have you ever sat down to do some serious work and end up fluthering your time away?
Have you ever had some time, maybe a couple of hours and you thought you’d do some comparative shopping, check some major retailers for a specific item, look up some facts on Wikipedia, etc, stop by Fluther and end up fluthering all your time away? You look up and the next thing you know, you are out of time.

Are you equating doing “some serious work” with comparative shopping, checking some major retailers or fact-checking on Wikipedia?
Sorry, we are all not brain surgeons, astrophysicist, bridge builders, etc. Trying to be a heads up shopper and such is not frivolous to everyone. Then again, if you answered the question instead of commenting on the question I might have had a heart attack~.
Yes! There are a lot of things I could be doing right now! My fluther activity seems to be somewhat of a gorge and purge relationship. I’ll beat it to death than vanish for 6 months. :)
Many, many times. For me, it is usually that I’m trying to do homework or research for work and get sucked into some Fluther questions instead. I just stay up later to get my other stuff done.
Don’t ruin my Fluthering by reminding me!
Well yeah, it’s happened to me. I don’t blame Fluther though. If it didn’t exist, instead of doing the work I had set out to do, I probably would have found something else to procrastinate with. I mean, when I really don’t want to do something that needs to be done, and figure it can hold off, there’s bunches of other shit I eventually gravitate to.
That’s pretty much how I spent my three-decade career in advertising (elephant wink).
All. The. Time. Of course, Fluther is serious work for me, but that’s not always what I mean to do when I sit down at the computer.
Oh yeah. All the time.
By the way, if you’re looking for facts, I’d steer clear of Wikipedia.
Yes, right now. I need to change the bed, and do a general tidy up. I was also going to do a bit of online shopping, but here I am. I’ve got myself a cup of tea, and settled on the sofa. I’ve been saying ‘ten more minutes’ for an hour so far.
Never let life interfere with flunking.
Drunk Fluthering, I believe. of which I know a thing or two about.
