Procrastination...
« on: April 21, 2013, 08:15:43 PM »
I was supposed to do the following things this weekend:

- Put together a presentation
- Send out a high dollar value requisition and contract
- Send in the remaining paperwork for my MBA
- Send in my resume for a job I'm being recruited for (and it turns out I don't have a copy of my resume anywhere so I'd have to start from scratch) that needs to be in by the end of the day today
- Shop for a new vacuum cleaner and shower curtain

What I actually did this weekend:

- Downloaded a bunch of porn
- Played Soul Hackers on 3DS
- Watched Netflix a bunch since they added some Adult Swim shows I liked

It's now Sunday 7:15 PM CST.

I guess I have these options:

1) Burn the midnight oil and get some fucking shit done since this will take several hours.  I'll be dead tomorrow but since it's mostly meetings, who gives a fuck anyway.
2) Create and send in the resume, which may end up being half assed and do the rest tomorrow
3) Fuck it all and keep watching Netflix and playing Soul Hackers, risk getting chewed out by bosses, and not get a job that pays better and would be less of a headache

So far, I've studied for 26 hours on Sat and Sunday. But, before that, I procrastinated for three months!

There is no limit to the things I won't do. As such, I'd rather not compile a list, because I might just have to /wrists over it.

One highlight: I wrote my bachelor's thesis in three days and handed it in a day before the deadline even though I had several months to do it.

Fortunately I found a copy of an old resume by digging deep into my gmail account.  Spent some time updating it and sent it out.  Going to do the rest tomorrow during the teleconferences.

Depends on the porn. Who was in it

I downloaded a couple of IR pornos among others.  One with Janet Mason and one with Isabella Ice.

I needed to finish a rough draft of my business plan for school tonight.  It's about 2/3 done and I'm to the point where I don't want to work on it any more.  Also, the excel spreadsheet I'm using for the financial section is fucked up and I'll need my instructor's help to fix it tomorrow. 

Fortunately, I don't give a shit.  I've decided that if I get a B in the class (I currently have a high A) I'll just drink some wine and eat a pint of expensive ice cream like the woman I am or whatever.

SOMEBODY CALLED?!

I love it when I overplan and underdeliver. I don't know why I always assume I operate in 100% efficiency, forgetting to account for sleep, attention spans, and distractions.

This is basically where I'm at at this point.

I'm going to end up making a C in my senior graphic design class because I can't be bothered cranking out 5 brand new design projects within 2 weeks. 15 is enough...

I should have just picked some dumb, easy retail store.  Would have been easy to shit out a business plan for that, especially because I would have been able to use all the resources available for local businesses. 

Noooooo.  I had to pick a weed store in Seattle, which doesn't even exist so there's nothing to base my plan off of other than medical dispensaries.  Because I'm stupid.  Always remember that.  Stupid.  And drunk on cheap wine, too.

I'm actually having the easiest term of my academic life. Just 12 units ( minimum to be a full time student) and all my classes are on Tuesday and Thursday giving me 4 day weekends. I'm just so bored now.

I actually brushed up on random shit on Sunday for an interview I had this morning. Now that that's out of the way, I have a bit of time to slack off before I need to brush up on ASP.NET for an interview Thursday. And now my project at my current job is coming to an end, so no more OT, no more working off Fridays... this weekend is gonna be awesome! :rock

Well,

Yesterday morning I went into work early (I hate doing that) and tried to get the contract out the door before the people who needed it came in.  I didn't succeed but I sent it in around 9 AM or so and didn't hear any bitching.  Then I worked on the presentation.  Around 10:30 I got a call asking where it was at.  I replied that I was putting the finishing touches on it and was deluged with calls.  So shortly after, I sent it out and they seemed impressed enough (Power Point 2010 has a lot of great features to manipulate images to stylize them without being tacky).

I guess procrasturbation wins again.

I was hoping to get some cleaning done around the house this weekend but ended up watching too much Fringe :'( The past couple of months it feels like I've barely had the attention span to do anything. 2013 is a shitty year so far :gloomy

This is a big problem for me as well.  Just the lack of motivation/drive to get anything done.

We have to file a form with our company's ethics department saying if we have any financial/family interest in other companies we do business with. We have until tomorrow to do it and I've been getting emails about it several times a month since January 1st.

Finally filled it out today :whew
It took 3 minutes. If I wasn't such a lazy ass I would have done it months ago

Failed to procrastinate yesterday, got up early and went to the gym. It was CLOSED for a holiday. Today, too. What kind of motherfucking gym closes on a holiday? Went and worked out at a park instead.

Failed to procrastinate again today, been writing for the last 90 minutes. WOOT.

Does anybody procrastinate drinking? Like you just sit there with the bottle next to  you but don't drink from it for like half an hour.

Yeah, I find I do that often. Usually  it's because I've got something I'm thinking about, and drinking will mess up my thought process.

Procrastinated a lot today. Failed to do almost everything except go to the gym. I did a quick translation clean up for my wife's company, but that's about it.

I need to get the hell away from those stupid "city builder" games which want to be babied every few hours. I can't believe I waste time on them, not just when there's stuff I could be writing or drawing or learning, but I could even just play real games with an ending, a win-condition, and don't fucking cajole me about needing attention every few hours. GAH!

Just finished 12 pages (started yesterday afternoon) with two hours to spare. Now I have to write another 15 before 8am tomorrow. I wonder what it's like to actually write a research paper over the course of a semester and not the day before it's due? I wonder if I can even write like that? Seems like I'd lose focus.

I tried that once, it didn't work.  My best papers have always been written when it was down to the wire.
