New syndrome

[XRogue]

This is an ailment many of us suffer from and may not as yet
have been diagnosed. However, now you may be able to
discuss it with your loved ones and try to explain what really
happened to you all those times you tried so hard to
accomplish something and didn't. It's called the "Butfirst
Syndrome."

It's like when I decide to do the laundry - I start down the
hall and notice the newspaper on the table. Okay, I'm going to
do the laundry -- Butfirst I'm going to read the newspaper.

After that, I notice the mail on the table. Okay, I'll just
put the newspaper in the recycle stack, Butfirst I'll look
through that pile of mail and see if there are any bills to be
paid. Now where's the checkbook?

Oops! There's the empty glass from yesterday on the coffee
table. I'm going to look for that checkbook, Butfirst I need
to put the glass in the sink.

I head for the kitchen, look out the window, notice my poor
flowers need a drink of water. I put the glass in the sink,
and darn it, there's the remote for the TV on the kitchen
counter. What's it doing here? I'll just put it away, Butfirst
I need to water those plants.

Head for door and Ack! I almost stepped on the dog. The dog
needs to be fed. Okay, I'll put that remote away and water
the plants. Butfirst I need to feed the dog.

At the end of day Laundry is not done, Newspapers are still on
the floor, Glass is still in the sink, Bills are unpaid,
Checkbook is still missing, The dog ate the remote control.

AND, when I try to figure out how come nothing got done all
day, I'm baffled, because I KNOW I was BUSY ALL DAY!

I realize this condition is serious....and I should get help,
Butfirst I think I'll read my email....
