The definition of distractable
-
We had record rainfall yesterday (125mm in 1 hr) and so there's a bit of cleanup happening around our building. I'm staring, captivated, unable to turn away, as a small digger meticulously, painfully, and disturbingly without any entertainment value at all, works its way across the sodden grass by laying down a piece of marine ply, rolling onto it, turning around and picking up the piece it just rolled off, and picking that piece up and laying it in front of its path. Piece by piece. Turn by turn. Nudge by nudge to ensure they are aligned. I'm hyptnotised. This isn't normal, is it?

Would be if it was me. I used to spend hours just watching cars sliding around in the car park outside the office window in one job. Just tell us the hamsters got out to safety! :laugh:

It doesn't matter what the number is, whenever I see millimeters following it I automatically think "small". It appears I got distracted from your post about distraction.

I am getting hyptnotised when it snows, that really distracts me. But today I am melting (like yesterday). 30°C and humid... There was a huge storm in the area but not at my place (I saw nice flash lights and there was a beautiful double rainbow this morning) Need urgently a beer..
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

Most people drink to get distracted. As we know from MM that you don't really drink, you need to get your distractions elsewhere.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

I'd post a cutting and witty comeback but the digger is on the move again.

Almost every day when we go to Csopak, our favourite beach, I'll be mid-conversation when one, or even better two or three, delight to the eyes totters by. In a [just about] bikini. I don't just forget the conversation but in some cases my name as well. It's hell I tell you, hell.

For Canadian entertainment? I'd say yes, decidedly yes, in fact.

Because 0.000125 km of rain wouldn't make sense.
But it looks bigger.
