Sometimes, while cleaning, I can hear George Costanza saying, “We’re making incredible time!” Patting myself on the back, I begin to think about all of the things we can get done with a few extra minutes before lunch all the snacks I could eat from the snack cupboard while taking a leisurely break.

Chimps playing! I’ll just film a minute or two for the blog.
Forty minutes later, I return to my half-cleaned enclosure, snackless, and running behind on lunch prep once again.
