This is a question Procrastination

Outlook is a wonderful tool, but not when it keeps reminding you that it is now 96 weeks since you were supposed to finish a report you haven't even started yet.

Just how lazy are you? How long will you put off the essential or the inevitable? What do you fill the time with?

(We're too lazy to write something funny here. You do it.)

I put off going to the doctor
I can't remember how long for but I think it was about 10 years.
Ended up having to have an operation for something that could probably have been fixed with some tablets at the time.

The consultant at the hospital also seemed to procrastinate about seeing me and it was 4 months before I actually got to see anyone about it (GP told me it would be 6-8 weeks).

Then hospital kept cancelling the operation for another 3 months. It was like the surgeon couldn't be arsed. Worst was when I hadn't eaten for 24 hours (feeling quite ill for it), was all packed and ready and they phoned 5 minutes before we were about to leave.

After the op I had to go back for a check up. The first appointment got cancelled because the nurse decided to take the day off after making the appointment.

In my defence I did blag a day off school initially and tried to make an appointment at the doctors, but they didn't have any appointments so I didn't bother trying again - bloody NHS.

100% true story unfortunately!
