...so now that you've been shown around the Bakery, we thought you'd like to know how your ideas are seen through the eyes of your fellow Halfbakers: |
|
| |
Peter wants first-dibs, egnor wants links (jutta will provide them or mark the idea for deletion), Monkfish wants you to do your homework, StarChaser doesn't think you will, waugsqueke & PotatoStew believe in Him, centauri doesn't, UnaBubba thinks it's funny, susen will tell you how it relates to her farm, afroassault would like it to explode, dsm would like you to explode, supercat will handle all gun control issues... |
|
| |
Drat. I'm only noteworthy for not believing in God. |
|
| |
Goosepimple, I think your idea is worthy, but sometimes putting things off is a necessary part of life. |
|
| |
Amen to that, waugsqueke (oops... sorry...) |
|
| |
Re the idea: alternatively, you could just present the
procrastinator with some Nike sportswear emblazoned
with the "Just Do It" logo... |
|
| |
... but he would probably take a long time to decide whether to wear it or not. |
|
| |
The movie "Sneakers" had a great line to use against procrastinators: "You will give me the box, right now, or I will kill you, right now." |
|
| |
Walked right into that one, didn't I? |
|
| |
Procrastination is our finest and most important weapon against the sea of bureaucracy, unneccessary paperwork and futile tasks that threatens to overwhelm us at any moment. Did anyone die because I didn't fill out your survey form? No. It couldn't have been that important then. I see procrastination as more of a life choice rather than a lack of any inclination to get off of my backside and do something. |
|
| |
hear, hear, DrBob! Why worry about something trivial like the details of why we get paid when there are so many much more important things to do, like check up on HB, stocks, and your guild's message board, rummage through the weeks various news bits, or try desperately not to assemble a mental picture of PS. The paperwork was here when I got here, and it'll be here when I'm gone. Who am I, then, to try to change anything during the middle of this zero-sum game? I say let it be. |
|
| |
I'm having trouble imagining anything *less* fun than spreadsheets, UnaBubba. |
|
| |
Less fun than spreadsheets. Hmmm.... Tax's spring to mind...although I guess you might use a spreadsheet for those. How about some of those things your doctor seems to insist upon? |
|
| |
Yeah, I just love the reassuring "oh no, this'll just feel like a little tingle" when in actuality it feels like he's making an incision with a meat tenderizer instead of a scalpel. |
|
| |
Yes, I have. Different teacher, same shit. I've refrained from shooting myself during 3 different accounting courses. It's a miracle I'm alive. |
|
| |
<Off topic> And here I was thinking that I was interacting with some real people when all along it was just a bunch of bored accountants like me. How depressing! |
|
| |
A procrastinator's work is never done. |
|
| |
iuvare just summed up the entire halfbakery in a paragraph! |
|
| |
It (and Unabubba's explanation) should probably be added to the Help page, eh? |
|
| |
addendum to iuvare's annotation: ...and Rods Tiger will add an oblique link to a music site. |
|
| |
UNABUBBA; I have a book on overcoming procrastination I've been meaning to read... |
|
| |
I regret to inform you goosepimple but someone beat you to the draw. I have had in my possession for several years a circular coaster with the word tuit written on the front in bold letters. The explanation on the back bears striking similarities to the one found above, not that I am inferring plagerism more likely independent evolution but the fact remains.... |
|
| |
...that [fruit] has a tuit. |
