a philosophical question:
is it really procrastination if you dont really have anything to put off until later? I seriously have nothing to do, but I am at work, so is that procrastination? or laziness? or luck?

You do need some meaningful goals in life to strive for, helps pass the time and makes you feel good.
Man With Hat suggested we get the Mariah Carey thread to 1,000 pages by 16th Oct this year. Totally worthwhile goal and valid use of all our time.

Going to start a sweepstake when you'll get round to making this call. Ever the optimist i'm going to say one day this week.
I've got a presentation I need to give in 12 minutes, i'm not ready yet and I am still in this thread sending useless messages..
|
I didn't make the call yet....
truthfully, it was because I got sidetracked by doing 50 other things and by the time I got round to it, it was 5pm my time, well after close of business in Madrid.
I might call tomorrow.
Actually, at this very moment I'm meant to be working on something which I said I would definitely, absolutely, positively file on Thursday.. Oh sh*t!
