Man am I getting a lot done. Is it what I SHOULD be doing? No. Am I doing the hell out of it so that I don't have to work on what I should be doing? Absolutely.
I have been known to accomplish great feats, working tirelessly, to avoid doing work that was far more necessary. No one in the history of time has accomplished more in the pursuit of not doing anything that needed doing than your humble blog author.
This morning I managed to volunteer with the PNA Village for a little old widow lady who wanted some windows calked. (On an aside, I'm pretty sure this little old lady plans on trying to steal my dog, but that's another story.) She was of the impression that the reason she could feel a cold draft from her windows was because the seal around them was no good. Because it was what she requested I did fix the caulking and washed away the black mold thriving there. A lesser practitioner of procrastiduction would have called it a day and felt like a "big damn here, sir." - Zoe, Firefly I, on the other hand, couldn't help but ask what she was trying to accomplish with this task, because who knows how many hours of justifying not writing this gold mine of a widow-lady might pan out to be!? A few hours later and a trip to LOWES and Elana no longer has drafty windows next to the bed she sleeps in (the caulking of which served no actual functional purpose btw).
Those of you whom don't know me very well may mistakenly think I did this out of the kindness of my heart. Whereas those of you whom know me best are aware I'd gladly stab anyone in the throat over a 4th round draft pick 2 years from now in fantasy football and are suspicious of my actions. In addition to the procrastiduction, I'm also actively trying to bribe Karma into selling my home at or above asking price by dogooding. Do I literally think this is an effective use of my time and efforts? No, but I also don't think it's effective to be nice to women you want to date you, but I still do it in hopes it is. :p
On a very pleasant positive note the walk to/fro, and no small amount of harassing little old lady's cat, my co-author is exhausted and leaving Dad to write to his little heart's content:
If you're wondering how I'm going to tie this all together in a neat little bow, writing this blog is in no way the most important thing I should be working on at this moment! #procrastiduction!
