The minutes dwindle on...

Why is it that when we're at work, the time seems to creep sooooo slow??? I have exactly 3 hours and 13 minutes left in my day and each minute is dwindling on. Now, I'm sure you're thinking that I should be working and you're right, but also very wrong! My job is insanely stressful and the last three days I have been going at warp speed to do everything that was due yesterday. Today, I spent the first 4 hours of my day catching up on all the paperwork that got left behind and now, I'm taking a few minutes for myself to give you my topic of the day: Procrastination.

Obviously, I am a procrastinator, hence why I'm writing this during work when I have fifty million things I could be doing. So, my question of the day is "how would this world run if we had no procrastinators?" Now, I am all for procrastination...but can you imagine if no one ever procrastinated? What if we were all those crazy freaky people (no offense) who actually followed through with everything they started in a timely fashion and completed all projects? I can not imagine a world like that! I hate and again, I apologize, but hate people who actually do everything without taking a few breaks for self time (that's what I call my procrastination). I guess on the positive, all of our roads would be fixed and construction would get done sooner, no traffic for all the running late folks like me, maybe we'd have a space center where people could stay...I don't know, but my opinion is procrastinators like me help the world run better. My co-worker who is also a huge procrastinator helps make my day go by ten times faster. She periodically walks into my office and starts dancing or singing or making faces at me and that few minutes of break time gets me through the next 2 hours.

So, my ranting is done and 5 minutes of "self time" later, I'm going to start yet another tedious project that has a deadline of "yesterday". For all you procrastinators, keep enjoying your breaks and for those of you non-procrastinator, take a minute every once in a while to not make the rest of us look so bad! :)
