Someone make me stop procrastinating...
I have to finish a short paper for tomorrow. A really short paper. Only two pages. But I'm in full-on slacker mode right now. Someone get me into productive mode, stat!

2. I forced myself to port a C program from MySQL to MySQL-or-ODBC
I had to stay at the job until 10 pm. I ordered myself to NOT LEAVE UNTIL I FINISH THE FUCKING THING -- and yet I had to fight every code line of the way not to Alt-Tab into some non-work-related window (ahem :blush:).

But I did it. I did what I was supposed to do. Now I'm going home.

6. See, my essay is nowhere near that bad...
It's only a two-page reply to an article. I just lack the motivation to do it right now.

My application to them has been sitting here for several years now.

I am hoping for the Directors position.

BTW...you DO have something mindless and insignificant to do in order to take your mind off of this need for initiative, don't you?

13. I'm an idiot...

I thought the assignment was due October 14...turns out it's due November 14. Every time I read the outline, I read November as October.

So procrastination wasn't really an issue after all.

14. Do what I did in college.
Take a couple bong hits, pass out, and dream you did the paper.
