maybe later
Procrastination is a wonderful thing. It allows me to avoid things like work and other responsibilities I should be tending to in a timely basis. Keeping a tight schedule has never been my forte and being fashionably late has always been my trademark.
Granted, my dad's skin crawls at the very thought of being late for anything. In fact, being on time is considered late to him. Growing up, you always knew my dad was the carpooler when I was an hour early. "Your dad drop you off, Michelle?"..."Yup."..."Thought so." However, this was a task I never seemed to master. And now that I think of it, maybe it is due to a subconscious rebellion against the all-mighty watch...and against the memory of my dad waking me up at the butt-crack of dawn to be an hour early for school every morning.
Whatever the reason, I find that procrastination is a positive thing for me. Not only does it allow me to circumvent my otherwise obligations and respective duties, but it at also creates a 'work under pressure' atmosphere - an atmosphere I thrive most in. Down to the wire, burning the candle at both ends, at the eleventh hour, without a minute to spare...all phrases I am very familiar and comfortable with.
Come on in, Nick. You're just in time.
(Get it? Just in the 'Nick of Time'?? Come on, people...work with me here.)
