|  |  | | | Fri, Nov 5, 2004. Procrastination is like masturbation. In the end you are only fucking yourself. |  | awake |
| My job makes me feel as if I'm still a college student. It's 2am, I'm in the office, writing a report that should have been done this morning. This morning I was busy procrasting away in my pajamas (see my blog on procrastination), drinking tea, smoking cigarettes, and reading the news. I was hated in unison by disgruntled 9-5ers everywhere. Here's the rub though: when I talk to you on IM or on NoDream, you are likely to be at your job. You're smart. You make time go by faster by chatting with me, because you know that at 5 or 6, your workday is but a bad dream. So, at 5pm, you bid your farewell and say "Okay, outta here, going home!" Which is when I realize that I've been chatting with you this whole time on my own free time, and now my workday is just beginning! And that rush hour traffic, that last barrier between you and your cozy couch? I'll be enduring it with thoughts of a full workday ahead of me!
So, anyway, back to feeling like a college student. I just had two cups of coffee to keep me going through the night. As per my boss, this report HAS to be in first thing in the morning. And then I have to be back here some time in the afternoon to deal with municipal court detainers (booooring). Plus, I should really go knock on some criminals' doors tonight, being as I'm probably not in compliance with the home visits. No choice but to pull an all nighter. My thirty-five year old co-worker, Terry, is right here with me. Forsaking her husband and two infants, she's turning in last minute reports.
There are two major differences between this and a college all nighter. One is that I get paid for this with other than the beautiful gift of knowledge. And the other one is that someone's life is being decided by a 23-year old procrastinator pulling an all nighter. Rosa Castro, the woman whose assessment report I'm currently (well, not CURRENTLY) typing, is at the Edna Mahan Women's prison waiting for my approval/denial of her application based on the evidence I have gathered. And yes, the final word will belong to the judges on the day of her hearing. But if I "nay" this report from the start, she's not even gonna enter the courtroom. Writing about the significance of apocalypticism or psychoanalytic theory seems far more innocuous in comparison.
Moral of the story? If I ever go to jail, I really hope that at no point in time will my fate be in the hands of a coffee-wired kid, taking breaks to write a blog at two in the morning. |
