working at working

I've been having trouble working. (Note to Friends finishing theses: please do not punch me in the head.) I don't know why. Internet distractedness is part of of, lack of real deadlines is part of it, but laziness is also a big part of it. I worked so much last year that it still feels really good to do very little. Don't get me wrong; I am still ( Read more... )

Obviously she's just coming to see you. She hasn't even finished her paper yet ( ... )

This is what I need! "a few details that help me talk myself out of my overachieving abilit to avoid achieving anything obvious." Damn skippy.

My very favourite way to avoid achieving anything obvious is to dash from one half-finished thing to the next. It's great! I start, say, organzing books, and then remember to water plants, and then decide to repot a plant, and then import a CD into my computer and write some notes, and then think about doind dishes, and then remember a sweater I used to have and start digging through the closet for it, and then remember that I haven't yet cleaned up the mess from the plant re-potting...

I do indeed need to fill up the cabinet before I can spew. Thanks for the very good thoughts on my tabula - can't wait to see you next weekend.

what about if your cabinets are a complete mess but you STILL end up half-naked???

Then you know you've made it. I admire a girl that can't keep her pants on, but I hear that layering and modesty is in this year.

I think this means that if you get your sits STILL and can't see your way to the end, you might be out of fashion to reveal your END.

My sister says this still goes in Miami, but I imagine it doesn't, ahem, blow over so well in Boston. I'll check it out next week...

So you seriously want to know what to do when the cabinetry and nakedity still don't keep your ass covered. Okay, look in your chest of drawers. I can't quickly explain why this piece of furniture amuses me enough to wield it as a witty retort. It isn't witty, but you and I both know that everyone hides their good stuff in their drawers.

They don't always keep it under Locke and key....
okay, now I've gotta work.

Sounds like a good excuse to shop.
