Wow. You're unstoppable. Is there any mountain you can't climb?

I just think I've just become too old for "tasks". But then again, just getting up out of bed in the morning is now somewhat of a task. Thankfully my life is arranged in such a way as to minimize tasks.

A fairly good list of synonyms for task: assignment, chore, duty, job, and stint. They can imply a course of action imposed by someone else. I just don't do well being told what to do.

It's funny as a small child my mother would be cooking and ask me to get a can of something or other from the pantry in the cellar. Inevitably, by the time I got to the pantry I had forgotten what it was she had asked for. I think it was the tone of her voice. Ordering me. I couldn't complete the task. I wasn't asked... I was ordered. Subconsciously I had put a block and couldn't hear.
