A LifeBurp is defined as an essential event, one that if ignored, will spiral out of control into a calamity of misadventure, creating an infinite loop of LifeBurps.
Like in computer programming:
:BEGIN
Echo This is an endless loop!
GOTO BEGIN
It's why working at home is far more perilous than working on, say, an ice pond. Distractions abound, often of the essential kind.
A mail-order pharmacy delivered a package this morning, and the package was a bit lighter than it should have been. When I called them, they said that the missing drug wasn't on their formulary. Another call to another agency confirmed that it was on their formulary. The task, then, became mine: bring Party A and Party B together, and figure everything out.
In the end, it cost me an hour, and $80.
Not terribly bad, as I still haven't written an official word.
This may lead me to write in coffee shops.
