Procrastination

I have been procrastinating diligently
Avoiding an unpleasant task
It’s something that has little inherent value
About it no-one will ever ask.
It’s inherently long and complicated
Taking many days
I have found many other things to do
Wasting time in many ways.
Until today I have some motivation
I’ve cleared my frigging desk
There’s no intrusive tasks around me
I’ve got rid of every pest.
So, I fire up the Excel template
Ready to go berserk
And it seems there’s a password needed
To get the thing to work.
The designer’s away on leave this week
My frustration in vile and great
The document’s due on Friday
I guess mine will be late.
Procrastination has come back to bite me
And my frivolous use of time
If I’d just got in and done it
Then everything would have been fine.

Drawn for real experience, I had been putting off doing the school's budget. Then, as the deadline approached, I couldn't access the necessary documents. Grrrr!
