Uh, the definition for procrastination is that it's out of laziness.

I don't feel like looking up the definition of procrastination but I know this isn't true.

I know they often go hand in hand but they are not mutually exclusive.

Was lazy and didn't feel like looking up this definition.

I procrastinated taking a shower because I was watching football.

Friends who no longer have time for you because they "have so many things going on." Just man up and tell me you don't wanna hang out and stop skirting my invitations to do things.

I'm 34 years old, and don't need that HS drama crap.

Procrastinating done and I'm doing what I said I was gonna do today(finally lol).

Rubric sucks though. Based on what the rubric says...meeting the requirements of the assignment only gets you 50%. Doing above average gets you a 60%......

Opinion papers really suck. Getting graded on your opinions..how does that help people at all? Especially when the mark just depends on the person grading it. I've seen peoples marks vary by like 20% when having multiple teachers grade the same assignment. I could understand like 5% or something, but 20%...That's too big of a difference to be considered fair. 20% for people could be the difference between getting a huge scholarship and not getting it.

I ended a 10 year friendship this past September for exactly this reason. 3 years straight of hearing the same BS over and over again. Finally said enough is enough. Not worth keeping a friendship going when only one person cares about doing so.

When the boss of the office I'm in (he's not my boss, my boss is in our Atlanta office) tries to micromanage me.

Grinds my gears and the worst part is he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Waiting for all the crap you ordered over the weekend to get here. Knowing I am on the end of the route and the past few weeks already they have been getting here after 6.

Being on the end of a route regardless of what it is, sucks. Especially service people. Cause they just want to go there and get out as soon as possible so they can end their work day.

Getting people near the beginning of their shift is the best.

They must have extra trucks out or something because it came about 10 minutes after I posted that
