I shouldn't have stayed up till 1 AM playing D&D last night, but it was a good game.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

I think a person can still be bored without slacking somewhere. Because, frankly, washing the dishes ain't that exciting.
Ayup. Or the reverse - right now I'm slacking by talking with my invisible internet friends instead of doing the boring dishes! If productivity wasn't boring as shit sometimes, we wouldn't be gamifying everything.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
There's being bored and there's thinking "there's nothing to do". That second is incomprehensible. Then again, there's thinking "there's nothing I want to do available to me", which is different.
ETA: and I'm pretty convinced that truly honestly having nothing to do is desirable, maybe necessary.

I never want to DO my dishes. I like having DONE the dishes.

This morning I dropped off my son at school. Went to an appointment. Picked up a prescription at the pharmacy. Got gas. Did a bit of work. Then went for a coffee with a tech recruiter (not looking for job, just to network). I also got the new battery in the Nissan since I didn't want it tumbling in my trunk. Didn't have time to get tools and actually hook it up, but it is in the car now. Now I need to hunker down and examine code.

Actually, that sounds like a good choice.

In two months, I will have a dishwasher installed for the first time in my adult life and I cannot WAIT.

Not having stuff to do is a foreign concept. My wife just suggested I should take a few days off work to specially not be productive.

Bored is something that hasn't happened in memory. Boring tasks, sure. If I do have a moment to spare there is always a reading queue awaiting me.

Dishwashers are fucking awesome. I can't bring myself to trust a dishwasher to clean dirty dishes that I just stick in, but I can easily bring myself to do a quick, quarter-ass job cleaning dishes and let the dishwasher finish the job.
