The Five Stages of Procrastination

Denial—There are eight MONTHS till my project is due. I can work on this, that, and the other first.

Anger—Where did my muse go? WHY won’t this go together the way I want?

Bargaining— If you will cook dinner and take care of the laundry for me for the next few days, I will be able to blow through this, no problem.

Depression—Oh, how am I going to be able to face everyone and say I failed. It looks awful, I could have done better!

Acceptance—Put on the coffee, turn up the music; it’s gonna be a LONG night.

“I love deadlines. Especially the whooshing sound they make as they pass by.” – Douglas Adams

The joy of giving….is the smile you receive—- whether on one of eight special nights, or any other time of year….

It is the season of GIVING….Happy Hanukkah to my friends and family celebrating the Festival of Lights.

(let it be pointed out here that the reaction is barely different for a Nook and for a tin of flavored lip gloss!)
