Be Late For Something Day

Sorry I am so late letting you know that today is "Be Late For Something Day". This would be a great day to be a procrastinator. If you are among the millions who never seem to be able to stay on schedule, then you will certainly enjoy today.
Being late for something as a common occurrence. It's caused by a whole host of reasons. Some are intentional, some are not. Fall behind schedule early in the day today and you will most likely be late for everything that follows. Doctors and lawyers are notoriously late for something....their appointment with you! My doctor must have thought yesterday was "Be Late For Somthing Day". One thing that really is very acceptable today is that it's always been perfectly proper to be "fashionably late" for parties, especially if you want to make a grand entrance.

So, although you may be reading this at the end of your day, you can still celebrate by being late to go to bed. Come on - live it up!


PROCRASTINATOR'S CREED

...I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
...I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
...I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
...I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
...I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
...I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
...I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is not exactly zero.
...If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
...I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
...I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
...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.
...I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.
...I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
...I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator's Society) if they ever get it organized
