I am a procrastinator. I don’t know why, I’ve just been that way for awhile now. I really hate this, but all I’ve been able to do all weekend is think about work and all of the stuff that I am backed up on and of the report that I need to finish by tomorrow so it can be presented on Tuesday.
I really should have gotten it done last week when my boss was out of town, but I was just really enjoying that time without the boss in the office and hardly got anything done actually. Yes, it is just my own fault, but heck, boss overworks us enough as it is. I just wanted to be able to relax a little.
Of course, now I am paying the price for it and trying to debate if I should just say “fuck it” and go to bed, or strive for 3 hours of sleep and finish the report.
I really need a new job and I need to learn to just do stuff instead of putting it off. I wish I wouldn’t do that. Fuck, the more I think about work, the more I want to put it off, even though I know I can’t. Dammit.
Interesting internet meme. I think something like this comes out every couple of years and they are always fascinating and thought provoking – to me anyways.
I’ve haven’t been able to decide what to write since the election. I still sometimes feel so overwhelmed with emotion that Obama has won.
His winning has made me have faith in the US again. I sometimes look back and re-read some of my old blog posts about the Bush administration and I still can’t believe so many people voted for him the last time around. I read today that President Bush currently has a 76% disapproval rating – an all time low for a President since these polls were started over 60 years ago. That’s amazing.
Bush has tried to turn this country into a quasi police state – all under the guise of protecting us from terrorists. I still remember the fear and apprehension I felt just writing my opinions of him – fear that I was going to somehow be put onto some kind of subversive list and have my communications monitored. Yea, I have a very large tin foil hat.
But those feelings are diminishing now. We are going to have a a fresh and hopefully liberal/progressive outlook in the White House soon and hopefully Obama will be able to rescind a lot of the crap Bush got away with while in office.
I love, love, love that Obama already has a website up regarding the transition at change.gov! It’s a great indicator to me that transparency is priority number 1 and that even if he doesn’t read all of the emails and feedback, there are people who will and hopefully compile and tackle a list of issues that people are concerned with.
Anyways, I am tired. I am so glad that Tuesday is a holiday and best of all, my boss is going on a business trip, so she’ll be gone for the rest of the week. That means that we will actually be able to get some work done! Hurray!
