Enjoy the Silence

He has a great many things to do, but he dillies and dallies and dithers and delays. In his mind: An incessant background noise that just will not fade out. The run was good but not helpful. He managed to cover 3 miles in 25 minutes, but the annoying sound kept up.

He puts on his Sennheiser headphones and turns up the volume, hoping to overpower the hiss. He starts surfing randomly - the model PageRank navigator. The sound is getting louder.

Poor girl, Pandora, is drowning.

Fed up, he shuts the notebook and picks up his notes/books. Almost immediately a smile breaks out on his face.

It was the sound of procrastination.
