Okay now this is a often over looked skill I have figure out that this is one of those thing that I do twice a week, yet have never mastered. Since it is probable something that I will do twice a week for the rest of my life I though it was about time that I really sat down and studied the act.
It actuly is a very useful skill if you think about it. Some people are into marshal arts, they put aside 3 hours a week spend a fortune on old outfits and weapons. So that when the time come and they are forces to defend our universe in a immortal battel agasint four armed demon from another palent in a backward chinesse rip off reality, they will be ready. Good for them.
However that doesn’t happen to me very often, actuly the last time I was in a fight which lasted more than two punches was when I was 12, and they we’re really punches they were slaps, not the kind of stuff that would scare Death-Ra the Warrior king of Zarge (try a gun, they scare the shit out of him). However as I have mentioned I do run baths fairly often, and I must say I get it wrong and schold myself in the hot water more than half the time. I put my inability to run a bath down to one main reason.
I get bored very easily, now a bath take time to run, I don’t know about 5 minutes. Now in my world that is a lot of time, I have a incredible short interest span, advert breaks are like a enterinity if all the channels didn’t have adverts at rought the same time I would never finish a TV programme. Imagine all the things you can do in five minutes, now what are the chances I’m going to waste the time watching the bath fill, I could be doing anything, I could be checking my email, making some Tea, trying to get the cat out of the loft, all things that will retain my interest for slightly longer, not like watching a large container fill up with water.
Now to understand how much of a problem this is for me bear in mind I am only allowed to cook food using two implements in the kitchen the toaster and the microwave, because these things have timers. They use’t to let me use the oven, but the only way I knew my food was done was when the sound of the fire alarm would make my neightbour come around and stop me building a fort in the garden.
So since the bath does not have some kind of automatic five minute fill up, I’m mainly a shower man, but thier are some time where I really want to soke in a bath.
So in conclusion I can’t keep a train of though for more than five minutes.
