Yellow Stick-It Note
It's ten after midnight.
I'm still at my desk, at the office.
I've just finished working on a project that has a deadline of tomorrow, noon.
I had ample time, really, but I procrastinated. Like fourteen weeks of ample time. I hear that gasp and I raise you a sharp intake of breath.
This will not do.
I'm hungry and tired. And my eyes are red from staring at the screen.
I'm posting this stick-it note here to remind myself how I feel right now.
And to remind myself also, how faint I felt when I tried to convert the final document into a PDF half an hour ago and Word said it couldn't open it. Twice.
And how all this needn't have happened this way. Really. Really, really.
I know better. I'm annoyed with myself mostly. And disappointed.
Get my act together already.

I hear you!!! Procrastination is my style but then I end up pulling all nighters and kicking myself. You'd think I'd learn but bado. Best of luck and I hope you finished in time to meet the deadline.
LOL...funny thing is, it's probably not the first time this has happened and won't be the last. I'm doing the exact same thing with a presentation right now. I had 3 months, and with less than a week to go, I'm still telling myself that I have a lot of time. Pure lies!
You read me. Like a book. Not the first time. But imagine I've never been more determined to improve. No seriously. Hard to believe, I know, but... Seriously. I'll let you know how I do next time.
Now on to your presentation, Sis. And all the best.
At least yours opened finally. I was part of a group project in school a few months ago, and was doing the final document for the group. Was working on Windows Vista, saved changes and continued typing. Then suddenly...wait for it...the document disappears. Off the screen, off the computer! Completely.Couldn't find it anywhere. Was like an episode of X-files. I can't work on Vista now. Traumatized for life.
Thornyeye, that just makes me go UUUUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIII! I cannot imagine it. Trauma or trauma.
Group project in college suffered the same fate. We had been working on the lab project for two hours, saving our work religiously. On going to the next stage, we found the work we thought we had been saving was actually not doing so. 15 minutes to the end of the lab period. Trauma!
I found myself setting up an album for a client one night overnight, as she needed it the following day. I said it wouldn't happen again. Hoping it doesn't!
