Zach's Tatt

Don't tell Mama Kay!

Procrastination Queen

Why?  Why do I wait to get things done? Why do I KILL MYSELF in writing and formatting and creating AT THE FLAT LAST MINUTE?!

I've had since ... oh say ... February (maybe January) to get my assigned "lecture" done for tomorrow's Big Dilly... and I just got off the computer 2 minutes ago (10:30ish) finishing it.

I've had since .... oh say ... last fall to get my other assigned "lecture" done for Friday's Big Dilly . . . and I'm still finishing up the 10 pg. handout, notes, Power Point.

And it's mere days before taxes are due, and I still have not gathered all my stuff together for my H & R visit.

Why do I DO THIS PROCRASTINATION???!!!

I'm 56 years old and I still have to work on self-discipline and organization and orderliness.  It's like I'm getting worse with age instead of better.

I'm supposed to be organized by this age.

I'm supposed to be planned, poised, and prioritized by this age.

I'm supposed to be calm by this age.

I'm supposed to be wise and smart and collected by this age.


sigh.......

At least the computer didn't crash, the printer didn't jam, and the assignment is done.

Off to bed for this immature procrastinator. 

Come to think of it, I think I've been this way all my life.

See, I'm even running late for bed.....

Gnawing

I have nearly chewed all my nails off.

When I write, I chew.

When I have things due that are breathing down my neck, I chew.

I've worked and worked on two presentations which are due next week.

I am STRESSED about them. Why? That's not like me.

And so now there's little acrylic nail pieces in the living room and at the desk where I type.

I'm in "nail hell." I need help. I should be in a Nail Biter's Support Group.

Instead I will go to Wonder Nails tomorrow after work and get all new acrylic nails laid on top of my psycho-looking nails.

Two weeks from now I will be calmer and my acrylic nails will stay on longer.

Sigh.

For now I will paint over what I have left and then go to bed to start another new day.

Amen.
