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?

Facebook, phones, showers, wardrobes
Started a Facebook thingy, put off updating it for a bit and now can't remember if I have to log on, my password or whatever.
Got an email account I have not looked at for weeks, it came with the ISP but it is clunky and bloody slow.
Got a new mobile phone in December last year, it is supposed to do everything but plan Moon missions, the telecom stuffed me round for nine weeks, I found I could live without it, have only made a few calls when away from a working landline and will read the manual sometime. Never take it with me, there's a phone at work, one at home. I have forgotten my PIN number for it anyway. When the contract is up I might ditch it altogether.
The shower is dripping. Cut new seats and replaced tap washers a few weeks ago and it made no bloody difference, the damn thing still drips and I can't be bothered to have another go.
There is a good quality antique wardrobe in the garage that needs stripping and refinishing. It's been there only 18 years.
Still I managed to mow the back yard, spray the apple tree for moth, the roses for aphids and do a bit of house cleaning so the week has not all gone up the spout.
Started a report at work with gusto several weeks ago, got so far and put it aside, went on with other work and now have forgotten how to work the necessary software. Started it again the day before yesterday, but wasted time composing idiot verses. Today, thanks to meetings and procrastinating client, have dome about 5 minutes work on it. Well there's always next week. Damn thing's late, but not overdue. Yet.
Length? 18 years.
