#interrupt

If I'm interrupted, it's just a minor inconvenience, but not a disaster, because it's easy to get back where I was: that is, the paint has not changed consistency; the light has not moved. ↗

Now ain't that just typical blokes, although it often works in our favour eh girls when they wanna get back in good books LOL! ↗
