"I'll be over in a half hour, I just need to make
breakfast"
You realize you dont have any
food for
breakfast so you need to go to the grocery store.
You can't find your wallet, you remember you left it at your other friends place lastnight.
You get in your
car and realize your
low on
gas so you need to make a
stop at the gas station.
You drive to your friends place and pick up your wallet. But they're the type of friend that you kinda have to stick around and
chat with for a bit or they get salty.
You drive to the gas station and while paying at the pump, you receive an NSF message. You transfer enough money for your
gas and required groceries then fill up your tank.
You arrive at the grocery store and spot your supervisor. Trying desperately to avoid her, she spots you. You're obligated to make small talk.
You head home and put your groceries away and realize you forgot to start the dishwasher.
You pull out a few dishes, start the dishwasher and turn to your sink to start the dishes. You realize you are out of dish soap.
You go back to the grocery store.
You do the dishes by hand.
You
cook your breakfast, brew some coffee and sit down to finally relax and eat.
You now have to poop. So you do.
It's been 4 hours trying to accomplish the
single task you originally set out to do. Your friend calls and asks what's up? You explain that you had a factorio morning and thought you could complete what you needed to in a half hour but that's not how factorio works.
