Back when I still worked in IT, I got asked by a new inexperienced support person to come to a different building (complete opposite side of campus) and help him out because he was having trouble repunching a data drop in somebody’s office. The guy was fairly new, and I wanted to procrastinate on the project I had at my desk, so I didn’t mind going to help him out.
I hop in the golf cart, drive several minutes, park, walk to the office where he was, and ask him to step aside so I can demonstrate while he watches. The data drop had a big desk in front of it that couldn’t be easily moved.
By the time I get into position to demonstrate, I look up and see he’s nowhere in sight. I go looking around, and he’s in an office a few doors down engaged in a bullshitting session with another employee.
I tell myself “fuck this i’m not his lackey” grab my stuff and leave without saying anything
Yeah, it would be, if you had any say on when the hyperfocus started and what was the subject of it.
