procrastination

[raven]

Work still resembles a French farce. I got in this morning in a sleepy haze and started hunting around the counter for the small bunch of keys that unlock the cupboard beneath the till. Some digging around, behind, below and inside the till did not lead me to them. As you do, I asked Vicky, "Where's the cupboard keys?"

She regarded me thoughtfully. "We've lost them. And my handbag's in there. But there's a spare key in the safe."

"Where's the safe keys?" I asked.

"In that cupboard."

"Ah," I said, and realising that this wasn't actually humanly possible, went on, "But there must be a spare..."

"Tony's got it. He popped out for a second...

"Yeah?"

"...two hours ago."

"Ah."

All in all, a good day, although for obvious reasons none of us had any lunch. Tony did appear momentarily, shouting something about book tokens and picking up his father-in-law's trousers - no, I have no idea - and a woman came in demanding to know why we had sold her a copy of something called "Hwyad Afu A'i Ben Yn Ei Blu", because, as she said, it was in Welsh. With a title like that, one would have thought she would have noticed. But apparently not.

Anyway. I am procrastinating by writing and this and reading far too much fic in the other windows. Time to actually do some work.

Procrastination is my best friend, or possibly my worst enemy ... we have a bit of a love/hate relationship. Yes, the reason I am leaving babbling comments is that I, also, am procrastinating. Gah, work...

Work is awful. I sometimes wish you could remove the procratinating bit of your brain for the duration and put it back in afterwards.

On a completely unrelated note, there's a new forum for LoM here (http://domeofstars.com/forum/index.php), thought you might fancy joining.

One of your fics has been recced already (and quite rightly so!) ;-)

Come join us?

Ah, I've been meaning to check that out. Thanks for the reminder. :)

That post just totally amused me because I seem to feel that way, and have random impossible things like that, happen everyday.


Procrastination is almost impossible to cease once you've successfully procrastinated something and still finished it on time. I'm absolutely horrible at procrastinating (especially with homework, etc), and it always bites me in the butt in the end. So what did I do? I made a motivational homepage!

...sometimes it works, sometimes not... but it never fails to make me laugh.

*howls* Oh, I love it. During my GCSEs I had a post-it on my computer screen with "YOU GOT C'S IN YOUR MOCKS! REVISE!" on it, but nothing as cool as that!

Feel free to use it, I know a lot of people who do right now in preparation for finals at ASU! It worked in midterms. Any no one knows, but that's my arm... I drew it in Illustrator. So really, it's me telling everyone to get to work! bwahahaha!

Hay,
I found a Dr Who piece in the G2 part of the Guardian about the possibility of a female doctor, which made me laugh, and I thought you might enjoy it. I dropped it into Prichards on Sunday. I gave it to a young guy who looked at me in a very scared fashion as if I'd just asked him to hold a bomb. Sound familiar?
I don't know if you will ever retrieve it- maybe it's in the locked cupboard!

You're kidding. That was YOU? I loved it! Only, I thought it was one of my co-workers (also called Alison)! Scared young man sounds like Mike, who later admitted to photocopying it for himself and severak other people. Thank you so much!
