I'm an idiot

You know, it's easy to view procrasination as an ever-growing, evolving monster. One minute you're putting off something that actually needs to get done and the next you're doing something that really doesn't need to get done which leads to you doing something that really doesn't fall anywhere near the scope of what you had originally set out to do. Today I told myself I'd go climbing when I woke up, get lunch, and pack some in the afternoon before I went to the firehouse. Well because of some fucked up half asleep/half awake dream I had, I woke up to look at my clock showing 2:45. Thinking that my whole day was ruined, I said to myself fuck it and went back to sleep only to wake up at "5:15" a little more awake and aware than I was when I originally woke up. Well, to my dismay, that 5:15 was actually flashing on my clock versus being steady which made me remember that the plug for the power strip the clock was plugged into is so heavy that it will fall partly out of the socket after a few days...enough to disrupt power to my clock. Anyways, I got out of bed to look at my phone only to see that it was only 10:00 in the morning. Still barely awake, naked, and confused, I sat on my bed and just thought about how much an idiot I was for being so clueless this morning which actually led me to think about feeling the same way in Antarctica while dealing with 24 hour sunlight and a 24 hour/24 hour off schedule. So with my morning being shot (I had planned on going climbing at 6 AM) I got up, made breakfast, finished off season 3 of Grey's Anatomy, opened a new bank account with Bank of America and attempted to finish packing my bag(s). Now after about 10 minutes of packing, I decided, for some reason, to finish my laundry and start a new load. Haha, even better than that was when I pulled all of my stuff out of the drier, it dawned on me that I had a lot of shit with "Ashburn Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department" on it. So what did I do? I went around and counted every single article of clothing with "AVFRD" on it. I came to this total:

8 - s/s T-Shirts
4 - Tower Ladder 6 s/s T-Shirts
1 - Engine 6 s/s/ T-Shirt
1 - 2005 Open House T-Shirt
3 - Sweaters
3 - Jobshirts
3 - Polo Shirts
1 - Flex Fit Hat
1 - Pair of Gym Shorts
1 - Pair of Sweatpants
3 - s/s Button Up Dress Shirts
2 - l/s Button Up Dress Shirts
2 - Full Class-A uniforms which includes dress shirt, dress pants, belt, tie, gloves, shoes, hat, and badge

As entertaining as that was I decided to catalog all of my fire and rescue clothing and I came to this total:

Yeah, so needless to say I just wasted an hour of my life looking at shit I've owned since 2002. Whoever said procrastination's fun is an idiot....just like me.
