It has taken me all of my fifty-two years, but I have finally done it! I have found the perfect and complete waste of time. It turns out a giraffe at a park in New York is about to give birth, and they have been live streaming it since about Thursday of last week. While I have not watched every moment, I have had some extended time of doing absolutely nothing but watching this event on various devices. Over the weekend while I was working on my bedroom-bathroom project I had it up on my TV, so I could walk by and get an update. While watching TV, I had it on my computer, while working on my computer I had it on my iPhone. I don’t know how long giraffes are in labor, but I can tell you it is longer than five days. I want to yell out, just push already! I have things I need to get done. I can’t be tied down to the internet, but yet here I am wasting lots of time. At least at work with large monitors, you can just keep it in a window off to the side while you work. The thing is 94,741 people are at this moment which means there is an awful lot of work not getting done. To the animal parks credit, they are making some money off the internet, but not too much else is going to happen for those who are watching. Perhaps today I can get back to getting things done and check in with the giraffe later. It isn’t like I can’t google it later and see a replay! Something about watching it live has got me hooked.
