Warm Fuzzies

I have my coffee and my breakfast bar.
I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy and its Friday.
I’m sitting here, staring at my computer screen, willing myself to get to work.  I actually have work to do, and it won’t take me too long to get it done, but I am still lingering in that “If I get it done now, what will I do later?” phase.  I realize it has to stop.  With a new job pending and a new group counting on me, I am positive I will have plenty to do.  I’ve just spent the last 9 months or so living out the motto “Why do today what I can do next week?” It’s been a nice motto.  Treated me very well.  Allowed me to go shopping on extra long lunches, or just take extra long lunches regardless of shopping.  It has allowed me to leave early several days in a row without feeling the slightest twinge of guilt.  After all, the work will still be here and I will get it done, later. 
When they handed me the present assignment I asked when they wanted it back.  I got an answer of “as soon as possible.” What does that mean?  I have to stop surfing the net for 4 hours a day and get this done instead?  I asked them to be a little more specific.  Still nothing.  So I said I would try to have it done today.  I have a sneaky feeling I could have had this done the same day they gave it to me, but I’ve been goofing off. 
Okay.
Time to get down to business.
