Basic factors that when mixed together produce an unavoidable result:
Take a late morning wakeup plus a publisher’s request that I come to work early
Subtract time devoted to morning Internet crawl
Divide attention among vital morning chores (dressing, bathing, realizing I messed up the order and dressing again)
Take a glance at the state of the kitchen; decide to review previous work before progressing
Zone out for an indeterminate time, like I typically do during long math problems
Estimate that time is nearly up
Compound the situation by nearly being out of clean dishes
And add the fact I received two large bags of chocolate chip cookies and a fresh gallon of milk this weekend.
This leads to the only logical solution of having milk and cookies for lunch.
Class dismissed.
