The procrastination thread
....actually....I'm a little busy just now....I'll be back to start this thread properly in just a bit....
Good, I'll come back to it tomorrow......
I'd respond but I don't feel like it right now. Maybe later.
i'm here instead of working, so do you thi
Lemme mull it over for the weekend - I'll get back to ya next week, mmkay?
wait....just...a....minute
I will write something witty latter
UT, please change the title of this thread to
'the same joke told over and over thread'

You know, procrastination is actually pretty good. I'd estimate that about a third of the requests given to me don't actually need to be done. And if you procrastinate long enough and don't do it, there are no repercussions. Many problems I come across end up fixing themselves or simply going away. (But I deal with people, and not equipment like some of you. YMMV.)
the only thing i can think of right now that goes better with procrastination is eating. hunger pangs tend to last 15 minutes, and if i dont panic and eat at the first one, i do much better. of course, i just ate, so i'm able to see that.
Is there a non-procrastination thread?
i was going to make that one tomorrow.
I would reply to this if I wasn't busy setting up a database server that needs to be done by 1PM Monday.
Yeah I know.. I should wait till Sunday night.
Mañana,
mañana,
mañana is soon enough for me. :biggrinba
I know I said I would come back tomorrow, but I was sick and had to work through some deadlines...in fact I really need to go right now, lets call to confirm for next week?
;)
i was reminded that I hadn't done this yet.....I'll be getting to it soon though.
I'll have to remember to post here later....
When I get back I'll do it - k?
Gotta go, got things to do.
Well, just 10 more minutes, k?
Sposed to be colouring my hair.
Have been meaning to every day since last Saturday. A week and a day.
I promised myself I'd do it before Derren Brown on Weds.
As I half expected (given my seat) I was featured in the show and may be on tv/ the dvd - with grim rootage.
The next deadline is Friday night. I have to have it done before my brother-in-law's 40th on Saturday.
Anyone want to set up a sweepstake re whether I actually do it before Saturday morning?
I might agree to split the winnings and fix it just to give myself an extra incentive!
Okay, I've been meaning to post this since last December, and finally have all my ducks in a row so I can say it. Here's the punch line...
11:50 A 22-second fart which changes note 4 times and forces the dog to leave the room. Ha ha ha ha ha. Funny stuff, ain't it?[FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=1][COLOR=#ff6600][COLOR=#FF6600][FONT=Tahoma][B]
[/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B]
On that note, I come back later.
I was gonna do it when I got back, but I am so behind at work, it'll just have to wait a bit. Once I get caught up there.....
I'll post on Monday. I promise!
shit thats really funny!!!!
i thought this had been done!
dammit....I just don't have time right now....
I will glady do this for you next week.
I was going to do it yesterday but ran out of time. Can we reschedule it for Monday? Or is Tuesday better? Maybe I should call about doing first and let the proper committee take a vote. I'll be right on that tomorrow!
I think before the right committee takes a vote, the whole matter needs looking into in detail. I'd suggest we form a working group to set the initial parameters of the investigation and they can then also look into the most effective method for setting up a steering committee to guide the investigation and report its findings to the appropriate oversight committee...
Said oversight committee will then have responsibility for taking the steering committee's report out to consultation with the wider public. Given the varied routes for input I would suggest the consultation period be set at no less than 6 months.
The whole thing, including public consultation feedback can then be passed to an external agency to work up into a usable form which we can then vote on.
[eta]: no I'm not bitter and disillusioned about local government, no not me, not one jot.

I'm not bitter about about the local government either.
So let's get together next week to go over the proper format for bringing the question about doing it, to the proper members, and think on ways to increase the efficiency of doing it. There are contractors that have done it with us in the past that should probably be consulted before we really work out the format and framework of the question and how it is to be posed to the committee. I can send them an e-mail tomorrow and see if they can advise on an appropriate meeting time, and we can go over the initial question and nail down the finer points, as well as go over the previous rfp, and what they have been contracted to do with us in the past, and amend the agreement as needed. Now I know that they have been really busy over there and might not get back to my e-mail quickly so we might have to set this out for a couple of days. Oh, and please back up all communications about doing it with the appropriate time stamp as we need to go over the policies and procedures for this project, and it needs to be reviewed by all parties. The files should all be marked by date of correspondance and they need to be faxed to someone on the state level. If you have any questions about how to proceed, please leave it in my voicemail as I will be out of town and need to streamline all communications in that box for now.
Thank you for your continued action on these items, as we all know that this is time-sensitive. We can go over that with everyone later this week.
I'm on vacation later - How bout next week or better yet the one after. We should have most of the info by then and can look into moving forward with this at that point - ok?
The procrastination thread
Damn, you beat me to it.
I was gonna make one too, but...
I've almost finished it, I just had to put the last few things on hold to finish this other thing, then i'll get it right to you
Um, today's not a good day.
Tommorrow's not looking too good, either.
How about I call you when I get a chance?
Tell you what Crimson, leave it til after the weekend, give us a bell and we can work something out then?

Does the feasibility study come before or after that?
Scriveyn, you're right. We didn't set up a feasibility study. That was woefully remiss. I think we should launch an internal enquiry to ascertain lines of responsibility and find out exactly who dropped the ball.
But before that we need a meeting to establish who will head the internal enquiry - can you call me to discuss when would be good with you? (But not right now ...)
Perhaps we should consider hiring someone from outside the organization. We don't want the impression of bias and all.... Lets talk to HR soon and see if someone there can take care of that.
I just jumped into this thread, I still have to read through it...maybe later.
Slackers. I can do a week's worth of procrastination before lunchtime.
i cannot be arsed to read this muck.
Tell you what Crimson, leave it til after the weekend, give us a bell and we can work something out then?
Sounds good.
I googled procrastination. I should be getting the results via email any day now.
I was going to reply to Capn sooner, but I got sidetracked.....
Hey, I have a question for everybody.
(Needless to say, you should answer it when you get around to it.)
Does it count as procrastination, if you just damn well had no intention of ever doing it in the first place?
Sure, as long as you really don't do it.....i think. Maybe I'll have to get back to you on that.
Oh! I'd forgotten about this thread ...
I thought LJ finished this already.
He's getting around to it.
I was going to say something, but... ahh...
Fuck it, I'll do it later.
I don't have time for this.
I have nothing but time. But not right now.
I'm gonna have to get back to you on this.
Guess how much work I have to do tonight
Guess? You mean right now???
I'll let you know . . . maybe tomorrow.
I'd love to tell you how entertaining this thread is but I think I'll wait until tomorrow...maybe.
I'll post my comment later.
I swear I will go to sleep when ready.
Oh, I'd forgotten all about this thread!
Anyone want to whip up a lesson plan for me, about using Venn diagrams to plot the validity of syllogisms?
Class is at 8 am tomorrow. 11 &1/2 hours. Get on with it, ya slackers.
I'm trying to catch up, and I just realized that Emma girl was 15. WOW! Anyway, I guess i'm on my laptop in bed in my apartment waiting for the battery to die so I can sleep. Btw, my heater broke today, WTF it's cold!
I have my most important final at 1:30 PM tomorrow which is like 7.5 hours away or so. I've studied a lot, but I should really be getting more sleep!
Anyway happy 3 year anniversary Cellar! Hopefully by my fourth year I should have a full time job (cross your fingers!)
Damn my sleep schedule
Fresh, sleep. Eat a good breakfast. Try to get some moderate exercise before the exam. Eat a little just before the exam - your brain needs sugary carbs. Good luck.
I got that lesson plan done. I think.
On the other hand, I am still awake. From last nights post.
Good luck Fresh! Hope it went well :)
I still haven't done it, but I'm gonna start really soon....
Just as soon as I've finished this ...
Well I finished putting up the lights on the outside of my house, but I still haven't gone that thing. And as for the other thing, well it's not needed until Saturday and I'me sure it won't take that long :rolleyes:. Oh and then there's that....
I still have to to make the list of the people I need to make the list for.
arg. so much to do, so little time and yet I've pissed the whole day away.
again
Oh here it is. I've been wondering where it'd got to ...
yeh - that list .. .. .. been thinkin about it.
I could do it today but I am not. The weather is in the high 70's and we are going out on the bike.
March 1-7 was National Procrastination Week. I meant to post something about it, but I got busy.
I did loads of stuff last week and this weekend. And yet none of the things that really needed to be done. Im sure there's a word for that. I'll look it up when I get around to it.
I have to pay bills, fill out paperwork and clean my apartment. I've gotten off to a good start by logging on to the Cellar. :D Oh, and I STILL have to fill out my census form (sigh).
I'm s'posed to be brushing up on my CPR for re-cert, it has somehow become a requirement of my non-medical related job... I really have no interest in making a medical emergency worse by incompetent intervention.
I'm way behind on my thesis ... so what have I been doing this weekend?
Making Youtube videos:P
Gotta do laundry and clean the place. So far, I've eaten breakfast, got on here....and still here. :p:

The videos are great! I love your poetry readings, very beautifully read. :)
@ Zipp: ... well, maybe not quite everything...yet :P
@ Tulip: thankyou! I really enjoyed doing them. I'm going to add others over time.
You should post a sign on the front door, "Caution, youtube in progress". :haha:
... something over which I had been procrastinating to the point where it had major disaster potential...
Oh Gawd! That reminds me :eek: ...
I really don't feel like working today. really.
Then go home before the rain starts.
I was going to replicate myself, so one of me could do my homework, but that can wait until tomorrow. :)

I Did It!!!
I finally got round to doing the thing I've been putting off becuase I've been afraid that I'm so late starting it that it's too late so I keep putting it off thing.
[SIZE="1"][COLOR="Silver"](It may, of course, be too late :3_eyes:.)[/COLOR][/SIZE]
But
I finally DID IT!!!!!!
Bravo limey. I need some of your gumption...rfn!
I brought the computer to hockey to do work that needed doing, and I'm sitting here wasting the battery farting sbout in the cellar.
I moved a huge wood pile today. Something I have been putting off, mostly because I would hope my son would come home and move it. About 2000 pounds of wood we cut for next year. It is half done. Maybe he will come home from college next weekend and move the rest.
Don't hold your breath. He'll be drinkin beer and playin Frisbee watchin the girls in skimpy clothes.
You got no shot - plan accordingly.
How come you didn't put it in the right place the first time?

. . . yes dear.
Haggis!
How come you didn't put it in the right place the first time?
I cut it into bits that were between 6 and 8 feet long. He came home and spend a full day cutting it again down to bits that were about 2.5 feet long. Most of it about 36 inches and less in diameter. Some bits were huge. It was all he could do to cut it and throw it in a big pile before he headed back to school. Now if I want it done, as classic has pointed out, I will have to move it myself. Oh well.
get over to the home depot at about 6:30 am..... you should be able to find some inexpensive labor.
It's making my back hurt thinking about it.

I am the mother of all you weakass procrastinators today. Immovable IRS deadline two hours ahead and what the fuck am I doing? Have I even started yet? fuckit
I tried anticrastinating once but found it was way too negative.
I am procrastinating.

I have a paper due tomorrow night. I'm on the cellar. To be fair, I have started to write it then realized that I have 500 words already and the maximum is supposed to be 2000. I don't even have half of one part (out of 5 parts) written. I'm afraid I'm going a tad overboard. I guess it shows my passion for this subject, which happens to be sexual fetishes.
MIL ETA: 1 hour. State of house: upfucked. State of monster: inactive.
this is becoming a tradition!
indeed. i think I'm trying to surpass myprevious record each time. Stairs and landing now vacced and clear of obstacles. Now to make the car presentable, then if time clear a path to the lovely clean sofa
gah, she's landed. game over.
oh hai. I have an hour in which to do something useful. Like the paperwork that's long overdue. Perhaps I'll create a treasure hunt poll
Oh dear, I discovered a new Britcom availabale on Youtube. It's not hilarious, but it's enough....
damn I've found this thread again ...
I've sat on my ass doing nothing all day. and I had so many plans...... :mad:
Things to do before I leave the house tomorrow.
Should do them now. It will make the morning more pleasing and I will get to school earlier.
Am I gonna?
Neh.
Not even getting any pleasure from hanging around on the internet tonight, just killing time. I mean the Cellar is lovely, but tonight it's not majorly compelling.
I just can't be arsed to get up and get going for the benefit of tomorrow-me.
You know that procrarsetinating I tought I'd stoped? Well, I started again ... :(
I'll post something later.

Just need to clean my teeth, then I'm off.
Still shouldn't be mincing about on here though...
This thread is the last thing standing between me and FORM D.
Want to hear something disgusting?
Okay then.
Since Monday I have had the house to myself every morning.
Although I get up at the same time, I have the whole house to myself. I can loll about watching TV, or on the internet or anything I fancy without any comment.
So yes, I shower and brush my teeth every morning.
But I usually find I am running late if I want to wash and dry my hair.
So I don't!
I've used Dry Shampoo for 3 days now.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Lazy bitch.
My mother used dry shampoo for several years. She had long hair and it became a trial and then impossible for her to manage washing it on her own. I don't know how many years (three, four?) but I swear, you'd never have known.
Dry shampoo itself is not disgusting.
What is, is the fact I'm using it rather than washing my short hair, in order to have an extra 15 minutes (max) faffing about.
Yes - 15 minutes tops. I have short, fine hair and it is hardly a trauma or a chore to wash and dry it.
My disgust at myself is a moral thing, rather than a hygeine thing.
if you do it right, you can faphph about in the shower, no?
I do my faphphing about the night before.
Not every night.
But it relaxes me and helps me sleep.
I think your error is in making the effort to dry it. It will do that on its own, you know. Washing it should only be 2 extra minutes in the shower, tops.
if you do it right, you can faphph about in the shower, no?
I wish I could remember that that is the correct way to spell faphph!
try fingerspelling it. you'll never forget it again.
what a strange use for the anon login....
I haven't used shampoo for years. Really.
I shower daily and scrub through my hair with my fingers, and I brush it thoroughly. My hair is healthy and clean. This probably only works because I keep it fairly short.
beest hadn't used shampoo for 20ish years, but just restarted. On the way back from Yellowstone we swam in a sulphur spring and he used some to get the smell out of his hair. The extra fluffieness is very sexy. but it drives him nuts. it's in his face all the time. but teh sexy wins ;)
I don't use shampoo. Except after I bleach -which is about twice a year.
My hair is really oily. I have to wash it every day.
Who doesn't wash their hair every day? (apart from Europeans)
That's one of the things that made me feel like I belonged here: Daily showers over weekly bath -and enough bathrooms and boiler power to make that practical
;)
what a strange use for the anon login....
My mother was very self-conscious about it. It's not my secret, but hers, so I'm preserving her anonymity.
fair enough, I guess. It wasn't clear to me that it was a secret, but makes sense if it was.
Who doesn't wash their hair every day? (apart from Europeans)
yabbut it also has to be really strong shampoo to get all the oil off.
Who doesn't wash their hair every day? (apart from Europeans)
Everyone I know
showers every day*, but for many hair types it's not appropriate to wash your hair every day.
Before this backsliding dry shampoo week, I washed mine every other day, or every three days. I have short, fine hair. And I worked with a woman who washed hers once a week. It was thick and heavy and took hours to dry. She always looked and smelled glorious.
* I lie - I lived in more than one house that had no shower.
But then I bathed every day. This is more and more unusual now.
I'll post something later.
Maybe tomorrow.
I finally made it to the land fill today with 3 charcoal grills that have been sitting in my yard for a few years, and a part of a metal wheelbarrow that has been sitting in the yard for about 8 years. I don't like to rush these things.

That doesn't get you certified.
You could have taken one today, one tomorrow (maybe) and....
True dat... but I felt like I had saved up enough points for the years they have been there and the wife telling me to take them to the dump, every month. :elkgrin:
Wives can be a highly motivating force, even for the certified.
Before this backsliding dry shampoo week, I washed mine every other day, or every three days.
When you don't wash it, do you use a cap to keep it from getting wet at all? If my hair gets wet it becomes an immediate rats' nest unless I am using conditioner on it (which always follows shampoo, which I use every day, though I acknowledge it might not be necessary--but the conditioner would be, no question.)
No, we have a quintessentially English shower. It has no pressure whatsoever. Large as I am, I could probably dance underneath it and still avoid getting hit by the spray.
So my barnet is in no danger of getting wet.
When I used the shower block on holiday I had to wash my hair when I showered. It was gorgeously powerful and the water hit every part of the large cubicle. It did hasten the demise of my bright pink hair, but it was worth it.
Currently sitting here with a new colourant developing. Mango, apparently. Mad ginger I reckon. We'll see. Even more reason to use dry shampoo instead of water!

hmmmm. there was supposed to be one of these: :bolt: on this post, 'cause I was totally :stickpokeing

Eh, not today, it's Sunday. Monday, perhaps.
My hair is really oily beacuse Iwash it every day.
FTF Theory.
Shampoo strips oil from your hair. Your scalp goes nuts replacing it. If you could wean yourself off shampoo by using sorbelene* for about six weeks, your scalp would probably chill out on the OPEC imitation. Maybe.
*or just living like a dirty hippy.
I don't know what kinds of shampoos are available down under, but we are no longer dependent on the likes of Prell or Breck of some kind of lye-based acidic green globby stuff.
I've never noticed my hair being more or less oily depending on how often I shampoo. Well, I'm not an oily person to begin with, but that's another subject.
It sounds like the theory about how if you pull out a gray hair two more would take its place. Ch'yeah, right, if that were true there would be NO BALD PEOPLE. Just start ripping individual hairs out and they'll be replaced by two hairs which will be replaced by two hairs and so on, and so on, and so on.
Just ask Heather Locklear:
[YOUTUBE]mcskckuosxQ[/YOUTUBE]
As Ben Franklin said, "Oily to bed, and oily to rise... (something something)"
Zeng is right. If you stop using shampoo and just wash with water, your hair gets kinda greasy for a while because your scalp is still set up to replace the oil you stripped off, but after a few weeks, it settles down to looking just fine.
We never started our kids using shampoo, and their hair was never nasty. Untill they started swimming so much, then they had to start using chlorine-stripping shampoo.
I'm not doubting your experience, but it still seems fishy to me.
If I stopped washing my skin with soap (Dove, only Dove) would my skin stop producing oils and sweat?
If I ever take a week off and go nowhere, I might see what happens. But honestly, my hair feels entirely different if I use shampoo or if I just run water through it. It feels, clean? Smells good. Floats instead of mats, bounces instead of drips.
Google provided nothing. Apparently no one on the interwebz knows you can free yourself from shampoo.
I'm with Monster.
Worked with hippy artist types who hadn't washed their hair in years.
It worked just fine for them. I think it takes longer than a week though. Six weeks? A guess.
My friend and I talked about doing it in the summer holidays one year, but we were teens and our Mums threatened to disown us if we tried.
No. Way.
Three non-americans tell me to not wash my hair for six weeks and it will be lovely?
Not falling for it. ;)
Seriously though, I'm dubious to the science behind this.
And I'll never try it. I kind of like my hair. And the hippies I've known are all dreddy and stuff and NO you don't use shampoo on it because oil is hidden under the mats and is needed and must be allowed to seep slowly into the outer tangles.
The older hippies I've known just have, plain and simple, greasy hair. Not all hippies. Many hippies wash. Just not the dirty ones.
I loves you guys, but I'm not believing this particular chain of words-of-mouth.
In any event, when the apocalypse comes, I trust you will all send me your shampoo. I'll send you food, you send me lilac-scented loveliness.
Over on Boing Boing they were talking about this several months ago. Several people were saying that they had tried it or that they knew people who tried it. ("it" meaning giving up all products and just washing with water.) What I gathered was that after a few months, some people with some types of hair were just fine without the shampoo, but that when you skipped the soap and deodorant on your body, you would stink within a few hours of your shower.
I can think of few things better than the smell of freshly shampooed hair. If I could curl my face up into my own neck with my hair all over my face, I would.
If my hair is still slightly damp and I put it up, then take it down later, it will still be damp and the BEST smell comes pouring out of it.
So I don't get the whole purpose of living without shampoo. Saving 67 bucks a year?
As Ben Franklin said, "Oily to bed, and oily to rise... (something something)"
Makes a man stupid and weak in the eyes.

Not sure I could stand it. I like having my hair squeaky clean.
I'm a soap dodger. I don't use soap either, except in extreme circumstances -it plays havoc with my skin/eczema. I do use deodorant and I don't stink. Except after exercise.
That should probably be in the cellar secrets thread, shouldn't it? :lol:
But I'm pretty sure infi, zip and the fobster will confirm I'm not reeking and I met them all after long hot car journeys.
I can attest to this. She totally doesn't reek! ;)
Individual results may vary....
Am supposed to be tidying my room.
Was supposed to over half term.
Have had various (not really valid) excuses since then.
It's way past acceptable, even by my standards.
Once the floor is covered, everything else goes on the floor too.
Instead, I am sitting here in an evening dress. I bought it for the funeral but it turned out far longer and grander than expected - certainly given the price! So I'm going to go with the other one, which was also longer than expected in that it is knee length. The shorter dress was supposed to be the reserve - I thought I could wear it with leggings if this one was the wrong size or fit. Both are sleeveless, so I bought a shrug.
Less than £10 the lot and now I have a decent dress for the funeral and beyond, AND an unexpected evening dress. Although Lord alone knows what I will wear that too. Maybe I'll wear it to the panto, with a sequinned mask :) I didn't sign up to the staff Christmas meal as it was over £30. Instead I'm going to the pub with the Dinner Ladies!
So anyway, I tried this on and didn't take it off because I am wasting time here, knowing that when Mum comes home I have to scurry in and start making organised noises. I will pretend I was taking a break. Which will hopefully segue into real tidying up, as pointlessly making noise is hardly engaging.
Bend over right now and pick ONE thing up and put it where it's meant to be.
Nope, am in the spare bedroom not in my room.
But yes, that's how I'll start.
You just want to check out my arse in my new dress.
Pics.
I will.
Maybe tomorrow ;)
Ah, no!
I will take some though:
- One in my Sunday work uniform (Christmas job on tills for large retailer).
- One in my funeral garb. This will not be taken on the day of course, but there will be a point this weekend where I put it all on together to check.
Am supposed to clean the kitchen and pack my purse to join my nephew's class to the zoo tomorrow. What's there to pack? Hmm...sweater, water bottle, etc. Cool and sunny tomorrow. I'm a bit of a "better safe than sorry, be over-prepared than under-prepared" kind of a person. :p:
sidearm for the area not covered by your tshirt.
Have fun at the zoo! Take a picture of a cock for me?
Lola Bunny has a huge purse.
Lucy Locket had a pocket
Kitty Fisher found it
Not a penny in it
But a pretty ribbon round it
I refuse to comment on the size of Lola's purse.
Realise I've forgotten to take pictures.
It gets dark too early now!
Will do so this weekend.
I have tax returns to do by midday. So I'm actually doing the laundry and dishwasher and fucking about on the computer. Limey, I am sorry about ur near victory :D
I need to buy a computer.
My son moved out and took 'mine' - so. Only can get here via someone else's puter and it feels weird at home not having one.
Am slightly irritated.
tax return
paperwork regarding my late father
It'll be interesting to see which of these I'm avoiding the least :neutral:
So far, in the interests of avoiding the above, I have got an old tuba out of the attic and played it enough to discover that it is in Bb ...
Two procrastinators with deadlines playing an online word game together.......
:eek:
Looking kind of smug there, limey -did you finish your task? I was about to start mine and then rememebered Tuesday was swim day. just got back from that...
OK I failed. The meeting I'm supposed to prepare these figures in plenty of time for, is in a few hours. And now it's time to rent a tardis for this evenings mom-taxi schedule
A small translation job and some proofreading just queue-jumped, s'all :)

Tonight, I need to peel and chop 2 dozen pears and 1 dozen zucchini, and then start a batch of sauerkraut, and make a batch of cookies.
If I put any of it off until tomorrow, it's just going to get in the way of making 3 pounds of meatballs and 8 cups of veggie puree. And yet, it's looking very likely that I will put all of it off until tomorrow.
It's probably a good idea to put the cookies off anyway, because if I make them tonight I'll just eat half of them tonight as well.

Are you kiddos up to the task of peeling zucchini with a vegetable peeler? Maybe one with a bunny handle or something?
Yes, yes, I know at the inauguration of such a program the effort is INCREASED but in the long run there could be less work for you, not to mention the benefits of giving the kids something to live up to, etc. etc.
As for the cookies, I'll help. Eat them that is, I could totally finish off the other half for you. Ah, no thanks required, I'm happy to help.
I'm so glad this thread has come up again! It's just what I need!!

In theory, Minifob might be up to it. It would only be possible on weekends though, since weekday evenings are 100% packed before they start getting ready for bed at 6:45, and bulk cooking is an everyday task around here. The 8 cups of veggie puree, for example, is for no one but Minifob, and it lasts him 2 days at most. A day and a half when he's hungry.
O am supposed to be cooking cornbread.
I only came up to do the temperature conversion for the oven.
It is not a chore - I'm cheating with a packet of Aunt Jemima's as it's too hot to really bake.
And yet I find myself pinned to the keyboard by the Cellar.
No. Must go. Will encroach on Mum and Dad's dinnertime otherwise, and will be poorly thought of.
One more thread.... Just one....
I got a new cap! Procrastination It keeps me busy
"Past research generally defines procrastination in negative terms, often considering it self-regulatory failure. In sharp contrast to most literature on procrastination, Chu and Choi (2005) found that some procrastinators, referred to as active procrastinators, are able to use procrastination productively. Modeled in part after Chu and Choi’s (2005) research, this study focused on how active and passive procrastinators vary in self-efficacy for learning and memory ability. Results showed that non-procrastinators had significantly higher self-efficacy than procrastinators, both overall and on all subscales. Active procrastinators had significantly higher self-efficacy for studying than those low on active procrastination. Additionally, results suggested that active procrastinators may score higher on memory performance than those low on active procrastination (these results approached significance). Therefore, this study supports the existence of active procrastinators as a distinct subgroup, and future research could consider examining other traits that may be unique to active procrastinators."
http://www.ufjps.com/spring2011/procrastination-in-relation-to-immediate-and-delayed-recall/Are they saying that "active procrastination" is another way to say "good time management skills?"
Additionally, results suggested that active procrastinators may score higher
on memory performance than those low on active procrastination
If you can't remember to do it later, it's not procrastination.
Can't find where I posted this and I'm way too busy to look now, so here is is again. Yes, this is a screenshot of my real library account.

OMG. You are an Olympic class procrastinator.
Last time you posted about this, the book was due on September 11. That'd be a year ago, or maybe two. :lol:
This is an old image. I did return it not too long after I posted about it. The garfield book is up to about 70 renews now......
Procrastinating the past two days ... I should've been working on my big project. Instead I've done everything but - cleaned my apartment, done ALL the laundry, cooked real food, done an hour on the bike trainer each day, read WAY too much in 'A Feast for Crows' - but no project work. I'm home with the government shutdown but supposed to do something or other to fulfill requirements for this rotation, so the project is the thing.
Sighhhhh ... promised myself this post and then TO WORK! [COLOR="Wheat"]grumble grumble grumble[/COLOR]
I've been meaning to put something in this thread for a while. Thanks for reminding me Ortho!
I'll do it in a minute ...
I'll get down to work any minute now ...
Procrastination is the assassin of opportunity.
A quote I read today.
All right, that's enough to light a fire ...
Can't assassinate my opportunities; they're just too hard to come by.
Procrastination. It keeps me busy. One of my caps.
Why, yes, there are tax returns and such like due tomorrow, thanks for asking...
Every Dwellar should have one.
Ah. Yes. Haven't had time to add to this recently ....
Stop pressuring me! Can't you see how much I have on my plate?
I really really need to get a Round Tuit.
For now, I'm delaying the required test session (that will show me how badly I'll do on my Board exams in October), project edit, and scheduled 100 pages of reading that must all be done before bed tonight. Need to get a Round Tuit.
So how'd it go Ortho?
Guess why I'm here, folks ... :blush:
