Barman - I believe this orange juice is bottled.

*knock knock knock*

erm... hello? Anyone about? Can I come in for a drink?

you see I was just about to start that thing thats really important for uni, but i got flustered. So tidied my room, washed my clothes, darned a hole in my towel, drank some hot beverages and smoked some fags... and now i'm stuck for things to do.

This seemed like a good place to relax and continue to unjangle my guilt ridden procrastinators mind...

Ah! More students!

*wakes up. looks around. glances at watch and smiles*

Ah... another deadline succssfully slept through! Did anyone hear the woosh?!

Yes... it makes such a lovely sound as it goes by.

I thought in this place the deadlines were ordered to silently tiptoe past

Sneaky, they are

Oops!

Sorry, I didn't realise...

I'll tell my tutor that i'll only be accepting deadlines of th non-wooshing variety from now on!

But could I ask what the reason behind the wooshing ban is? I suppose it could be to prevent the overwhelming collective wooshing noise that would surely abound if the ban weren't in place(?)

I was going to check the thread backlog for an explaination, but... well, you know!

A whooshing deadline is too much a reminder of what should have been done right now.

But when you realise a deadline has silently passed a week ago, there is obviously time enough for another first.

I am so busy. Should be busy. Ah well deadlines are there to be avoided.

Oh and anyone who knows the origin of the above creed please tell me. Well when you get round to it.

Have you this read this article about what could happen when we reach the year 2000 -

when was it written? if it's since 01/01/2000 i'm worried.

unless it was by an official procrastinator.

I've been meaning to post here for a couple of months, but, you know...

I just asked to join, and I want to read all of the 4,000 some-odd postings in this conversation, but I'll get around to it later.

good stuff!

I'll take your word for it

Finished yet ?

I just discovered this website: http://www.venganza.org/index.htm and have been procrasting at it all day. Some one should really do a guide entry on this new religion.
