Procrastination

This morning I have to give a presentation at work to the entire staff. I always get butterflies when talking in front of people, but I actually pull off whatever I am doing and don't look TOO nervous doing it.

So one would think that having just finished three years of law school and then taking the bar that I would prepare for this presentation in advance. Well, technically I should have been preparing for this presentation at work, but I haven't had enough time because I have been trying to finish up things for the old division so that I could start with the new division yesterday. So I took the information home this past weekend and told myself that I would work on the presentation.

Friday night? I completely forgot about it. Saturday? I watched a pie making class at William Sonoma and went shopping for Thanksgiving with CP. Sunday? Totally forgot about it because I was busy bringing wood into the garage, doing four loads of laundry, baking banana bread, cleaning the house, etc. Forgot about it until at 8:30pm when I was exhausted from all of the household tasks and the gym workout. I TRIED to make myself read the reports but I just couldn't.

So, I then crammed during lunch yesterday and after work last night. This wasn't a required project and my boss even said that I could put it off until next month's staff meeting but I wanted to make a good impression and show her why I deserve the raise in a few months. Hopefully I will do a good enough job in about an hour!!
