Eating the darn elephant
Posted on | June 8, 2010 | 2 Comments
So she was supposed to be eating the elephant one bite at a time. What a horrible analogy. She shivered at the thought of eating such a majestic creature. (Just typing that line was another moment of procrastination.) She was pathetic.
She actually *did* take a bite or two, which, upon later inspection, didn’t amount to much for the time spent which meant that her estimated time of completion was going to be greater than the remaining time allotted in her brain for the task. Of course the time she had allotted and the time that was actually left varied greatly and she really needed to use more of the remaining time working and less time talking about it, thinking about it, whining about it etc… you get the idea.
She wasn’t sure she had come up with the best plan of attack, but she had spent hours “planning” and accomplishing nothing and was sure this was just another diversion from dealing with the reality of not wanting to deal with reality. Second guessing at this late stage of the game wasn’t really going to get her anywhere but more frantic than she was already preparing to be. She knew the drill. Procrastinate until the VERY last minute, run around like a chicken with head cut off.
But why? And why was she still talking about it? She thought about the elephant…and how it might taste with BBQ sauce. . .
