procrastination is not my friend

[sarea]

Had my yearly review today. Gawd how I hate those. It was pretty much what I expected, although that doesn't make it any less disappointing. It's not so much the money (I received a bonus but not a salary raise) as it is that I have no one to blame but myself. Well, okay, I could also blame my jackass of a boss, but if I'd reaaaalllly wanted to, I could have risen above the crap. Trouble is, the thing I do better than anything else is procrastination. I'm just not motivated. I don't care. All I want to do is read LJ, read/write fanfic, play triumvirate, watch movies, read books, and chat w/ Jade and Robbie. The problem is, I feel so guilty doing any of these things when I ought to want to be doing my work, that nothing gets done. Is that contrary or what?

You know how I've been needing to clean my place? Yes, procrastination strikes again. But now I've GOTTA do it. My cousin just wrote, reminding me that she and her husband are going to be here over Labor Day weekend. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek. Here's my problem: When I first got Talis, Jade came up here to help me housebreak him. The guest bedroom was the scene of many an unfortunate "accident" during that time. Usually with concentrated accidents, I just clean up and then use Nature's Miracle ... works like a charm. The problem is, I have practically doused that whole room in NM and it's still smelly. It drives me crazy. If I leave the door open, the smell goes away. But the second the door is closed for any significant period of time, it comes back. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? What can I do, short of buying a steam cleaner or hiring people to come clean the carpet???

I was reading some fanfic today, and I ran across a couple of passages that made me snort water up my nose. I won't name the fic or the author, but this was damn funnay.

Her knees were trembling as she went down hill and she had almost never been so scared in her life, she was afraid she'd crash and kill someone or herself. Suddenly, as if Draco knew she was coming, he stopped, took off his helmet and turned around. Just as Ginny came down and crashed into him, landing right on top of him and their lips met. Slowly Ginny came out of her shock and felt something inside of her. Her heart was beating so fast as she closed her eyes for a few seconds and opened them again to see Draco's eyes starring straight into her own.

My bold. Umm, damn that Draco is a fast worker. I shared it w/ Jade, who inserted her own line into the story at that point: "When he felt her coming towards him, he of course immediately dropped trou, praying that she would land properly. And oh, she did. Yes, she did."

And then later...

"What happened?" asked Harry with worry as he walked up to Ginny's bed with Hermione and Ron.

"She went snowboarding and sadly fell off a cliff," answered Professor Dumbledore.

V. sad indeed, Dumbledore. V. sad indeed.

Oh, thank you so much!! Looks like I really will have to get a steam cleaner. Yikes. How funny that this was also in her second bedroom. Our poor guests. :))
