I never wanted this job in the first place. I wanted to be... a lumberjack!
Oops, sorry, wrong job there...
*ahem*
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, put your hands together for the
one and only Whether Woman!
Thank you, thank you so much. I love you too.
Well, somehow I seem to be a little behind schedule. (Not like any
of you care, but hey...) So you'll have to exercise your imagination and
go back in time... back... back to last Thursday, May 27th. You are sitting
at your computer... when suddenly.. up pops an e-mail from the Whether
Woman. Yes! It's the one you've all been waiting for! It's the May Whether
Report!
Thank you.
Well, of course the theme for this month is Procrastination. Of course.
The first law of procrastination is that you must have something to
procrastinate. Check that one off here. Next, you must have an excuse.
'I had to feed the dog my homework' does not cut it. Your excuse must be
at least somewhat reasonable. If you must, lie. I happen to have a whole
litany. You see, first it was too early in the month to write a report.
Then in mid May I was incredibly busy all the time. I went to a concert
or a play every single weekend. Then in late May I had City College finals,
and I had to study for those. And I went camping twice. And I couldn't
think of anything to write.
Notice those 'ands.' Those are very important. You want to overwhelm
your listener until they don't care what you didn't do, they just want
to get it over with.
The third rule of procrastination is that you must dedicate yourself
to procrastination. It is unacceptable to procrastinate for a day a project
that is due in a week. You must procrastinate the whole week and do the
project the night before it's due. Or preferably the next morning.
I think I've set a record in that department. A month overdue isn't
bad.
And that concludes the Whether Report. Now go put something off!
