This post is not very long

I have a lot of important things to do. I do. And I know that most of you readers are actually real people in my life. And moreover, most of you are real people in my life who are waiting for me to do something for you.

In fact, that's why I'm writing this really short post. I am writing to let you know that, yes, I am right in the middle of doing that thing for you, and I will be completely done with it really soon.

One thing about blogging is that when you post, everyone knows what you've just been doing. You've just been writing a blog post. Which means you weren't actually finishing that paper draft or calling that retirement specialist or cleaning the toilet.

Unless, of course, you wrote that blog post a long time ago and scheduled it to appear later....

That's exactly what is going on here. It looks like I'm writing this blog post when I'm supposed to be doing that thing for you. However, in fact I totally have my act together and I wrote this post a long time ago for the purpose of entertaining you while you wait for me to finish your task -- that task that right now at this instant I am doing. In fact, I am on the phone with the retirement specialist while scrubbing the bathroom and editing the paper draft. Depending on who is asking.

Anyway, I thought I would post this short note just so you know that in fact, I'm on it.
