"So much so that, to those who know that Quasimodo once existed, Notre-Dame is now deserted, inanimate, dead. They feel that something has disappeared. That vast body is empty - it is a skeleton - the spirit has quitted it - they see its place and that is all. It is like a skull, which still has holes for eyes, but no longer sight".
—Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

Will replace with a witty title...when I get around to it
I feel that I should comment on the fact there is almost one month between my previous posts. Those who know me will not be surprised. They are well aware that I can be exceptionally lazy with some things (case in point: this blog). In fact, I hid the fact that I started this blog from a sister of mine (you know who you are) so that she wouldn’t pressure me to keep it up. In any case, this is simply a pledge to myself that from now on I will be a busy little bee and post often (often enough, anyway). From now on, I will be a better blogger - one of the countless things that I can be better at, so I’m told….
So, I’ll leave you with the creed of my people: the Procrastinator’s Creed. This is from a beloved poster that for years hung on the wall of my aforementioned sister’s room (ironic, no?)
Cheers :)
The Procrastinator’s Creed - Source Unknown
1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is not exactly zero.
8. If at first I don’t succeed, there is always next year.
9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/wait/plan.
13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
14. I will become a member of the Ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator’s Society) if they ever get it organized.
So, I’ll leave you with the creed of my people: the Procrastinator’s Creed. This is from a beloved poster that for years hung on the wall of my aforementioned sister’s room (ironic, no?)
