I have a problem with procrastinating. A big problem. To explain this succinctly, I recently checked two books out, one about the internet (never finished it and I had it for about a month, not a good/easy read) and the other was about procrastination. I posted on FB "Checked out a book about procrastination, think I'll finish it tomorrow". Ha ha it was pretty funny, even though it was the honest truth. I was heading to Princeton the next day and thought I might read it on the way or while we were there. Anyways - I never did crack it open and returned it.
Looking on the library's catalogue list I see that Phil Plait's (@BadAstronomer) book "Death from the skies! : these are the ways the world will end" has 6 copies available and one at the branch just down the road. I've been meaning to pick it up and it is only 5 minutes away, and I was reading a John Grisham novel so I wasn't in that big of a hurry. Well that novel is almost done and it's fireworks night tomorrow so I figured I could pick up the book tomorrow. Seeing as I have procrastinated this entire week...
Pretty sure you can tell where this is going. The book is checked out. I procrastinated and now its gone until August 27th according to the website. I tweeted "Dammit!Procrastinated getting a book from the library & it's checked out. Maybe I should check out the "Stop Procrastinating" book instead." And I mean it. This is most likely going to get worse before it gets better.
Alas said procrastination book is also checked out. FML.
