Just because you're not doing work right now doesn't mean there's no work to be done. I'll bet you're just about to get started on that work right after you read this. Well… you do have to return that phone call first, but then you'll do work. Oh wait… but isn't it someone's birthday today? You'll just check Facebook and make sure you're not being so incredibly rude by not wishing your friend (read: that acquaintance that you very rarely talk to) a happy birthday. It'll only take three minutes and then, you swear, you'll take care of work.
