ProcrastinationOutlook 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?

Backup, backup, backupProbably the most important phrase for anybody who relies on a pc/mac for their livelihood.
A guy I deal with set up as a digital print business in partnership with my boss in Jan this year. Just found out that the G5 mac he uses for EVERYTHING, from design, to it being the rip for his A0 printer and his digital press, has not had any form of backup EVER.
I asked him why he didn't use 'Time Machine' (which comes as part of the mac operating system) and he boasted that he was too busy to open the box the 500GB wireless hard drive came in, never mind the 3 or 4 button clicks it would take to set it up to automatically backup everything every day.
He spends roughly 2 hours a day stood outside having a fag.
Am I a bad person for hoping he comes into his unit one day and sees either blue smoke coming from the mac, or better still a big gap on his desktop?

You can arrange that ...... to teach him a lesson.
He he!
Retreats to check that work backups really do work ;-)

I initially read that as"A big gay on his desktop."
That would also amuse me.

You know you use computers too much when...You see the words: "or better still a big gap on his desktop" and think, "What? he's going to delete/move some icons?"
I know, I know...I'm getting my coat now.
Well, right after I do the backup I WAS going to do on Friday...
