I should be researching my bajillion page English paper on terrorism right now
Sleeping.
Certainly not talking to strange men in hotels.
Ooooh!

I should be folding my clean laundry and put it where it's supposed to be... and about five other things on my to do list. ::)

Another fine mess Sibling Chatty got me into ;) Never leave your first name and phone number with dodgy hotels ;)
Now? I should be watching TV ;D
Some reports for my office
The printer has emailed me that the newsletters are done and I should go and pick them up but feh- I'll do it tomorrow.
Should be looking for my AWOL wallet. And about a million other things. But no, talking to my cousin in labor.
I am also avoiding work for uni.
I should be doing laundry or cleaning the bath....
OK, REALLY?? I should be fabulously wealthy, and spending lots of money on my friends!! (And on a full time cleaning person...) :D
I should be doing some stored procedures (work, work...)
glares at textbook and notebook laying on desk beside workstation---
homework-- what homework-- I don't have any papers this term-- well except one
glares at textbook and notebook hoping they will just go away(as if these simple inanimate objects cause her procrastination)
Considering fixing a meal.
:barf:
Don't wanna. Dan can exist on :coffeemug: and I'll do water!
Wait, that doesn't work either... :doh!: :censored: :help: Maybe I just need a little :kickbutt:
Or some encouragement :stirpot:
Sleep. I should really be in bed soundly asleep...
Am I tired? No. ::)
Argh!
Calling someone, or going to bed. Taking a shower. Something. But no, reworking an old drawing.
(http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs15/i/2007/012/7/a/Beast_of_the_Fens_by_dorkanese.jpg)
Needs to be cleaned up better. I gave up on it some time ago, but am feeling like fixing this atrocity.
I should be sleeping. Instead I am up printing.
Maybe I should get a faster printer... or one with the ability to queue multiple jobs.
Scrubbing toilets....
Quote from: Agujjim on November 22, 2007, 06:24:09 AM
Scrubbing toilets....
Nobody should be scrubbing toilets. They should be better engineered to be mostly self-cleaning, so that a spray of Scrubbing Bubbles and a quick once over with a disposable 'brush' would leave them clean. The technology is available, but nobody wants to pay for it as long as there's cheap labor available.
=================
I should be cooking. It's cold in the kitchen, though, and I don't wanna go into that half of the house.
Hmmm, if I do a load of laundry, the dryer will heat up the kitchen!! Two birds with one stone!
filling in insurance forms but I'm too busy sizing up fake boobs
sleeping instead of raiding...the cooler that is...
Oh dear.
I really ought to be printing out my paper and reading the news. But I'm on here, and contemplating a burrito.
I ought to be doing my stretches or at least some basic yoga...my back and shoulders are killing me...the muscle tension has me at the threshold of a tension headache all blastid day @#$%^&* it!
But NOoooooooo I must revive some pyrate threads instead...
Reading the news, but no, floating around here.
Making sure the SMTP of a server works with the application. ...and more queries. :-[
Prepping a series of injections, but I don't want to be a pincushion right now. (I'm pretending the oral medication is working. Maybe it will.) :mrgreen:
Writing my case study, but I woke up too tired again. Even for the do half an hour break it down into chunks approach. <sigh>.
Opening the two week backlog of post, but I woke up too..... oh heck see previous post.
Erm... ahem... Oi should probably be serving up some drinks to a buncha lads in the Brand Spankin' New Thread up in 'Start here'.

Now I should be watching TV.
You know it is really bad when you can't even get the TV watched. ;)
I should be in class. Or actually transferring my notes. Sleeeeepy!
I should be getting some excercise. I'm starting to look like a larva.
I should most most definitely be asleep. It's 03:50 in the morning...
I should look for living accomodations in the town I may get an employment in soon. Above the high water mark, if possible.
Best of luck, Swato!
I should be reading the umpteen thousand pages of homework. Trying to get un-nauseous after reading an article about the Spanish Inquisition, instead. (:puke:)2
I have to brush my teeth and get some sleep .
G'nite !
Writing the tender for an Article VI Habitats Directive study.
I should be putting a stack of paperwork to bed .
I should be doing laundry.
I WILL be doing laundry soon, or else I will be finding out how many paper towels it takes to dry a person my size... :P
I should be not drinking wine.
I'd say everybody should drink wine unless the doctor forbade you to do so (or you are driving and already had a few glasses).
--
Some pending page from a demo.
I should be getting sleep and back to work while the job still lasts .
Taking a shower.
Reviewing for a history test tomorrow.
Sleeping. :P
I should be studying 80 pages on woody plants. My eyeballs are turning to rubber!
I should not be drinking wine. Again.
I should get myself some wine , perhaps a merlot .
I should be asleep. It's 4:30am and I have school in a nine.
To quote Pachy, "Sleep is for the weak!"
Talking to my hosting to update an SPF record
Having just put off fieldwork until tomorrow, trying to buy a boat. ;D
Eradicating virii.
I should be laying out our town newsletter. It's the end of the month all ready! :o

Learning how to decline second declension neuter Latin nouns?
(Wouldn't dare attempt to correct your Latin if I didn't know Swato was a hundred miles from his home computer, and on his best behaviour at work ;D ).
Romanes eunt domus.
Erradicating virinem?
I've probably forgotten more Latin than Hanibal ever knew !!!
Getting ready for sleepy-time...

I ought to be doing that, too.
Soon, as I HAVE to get up at least by 10 AM.
Being a bum does have SOME advantages... :mrgreen:
Preparing to go and do a survey in a spectacularly Republican (anti-Brit) section of town (the Falls Road, for anyone who knows about The Troubles), where I am under strict instuction not to say a word to anybody. Mark will do any taliking, and pretend I'm mute. I wish I was joking....
Pachy, don't get caught out like whatsisname in that film, great escape..........
mmmmm gordon jackson ~
Yeh! I know it's not really a jokey matter.
Moi? Doing? Ought ta? Printing a letter off on my printer.
Best of luck, Pachyderm. I know what it's like. Sort of... (I used to work in a part of Glasgow where you'd ask the taxi driver to drive up on the pavement to reduce your risk of being attacked between the taxi and the front door).
I should be compiling user data on Patient-Focused Public Involvement in the NHS (and not drinking wine, needless to say).

Jesus, even the badgers are militant Republicans?
I used to work in the Old Kent Road at Peckham, but it was in the days when only the drug dealers and not 12 year olds carried guns.
Jeez. Hope it goes smoothly and you are not attacked by angry Irish badgers.
I should be going laundry. And probably writing a resume...
I should be sleeping like a good girl.... :bed:
yeah right! :devil2:
Me too.
Nope. Not me. I'd like and prefer to be sleeping, given the dark sky and time of night, but good girls don't figure.
I lived!
We turned up to do the survey and Mark looked at me, and said "You realise this is the sort of place where people like us were brought to die?" He's from here, and had never set foot in that part of town before. i took the GB sticker off the back of the car, and kept quiet about my time in uniform.....
Nice enough houses, place was well kept, but I kept thinking "Robert Nairac" until we had finished.
No Republican badgers were sighted, scared away as they were by our over-powering aura of Protestantism,and lack of guilt.
Proletariat Badgers? How many types of Badger are there?
As many as we can think of ;D
BTW, I should be reading up for a site meeting later...
You are going to meet a site?
I should be eating breakfast. My schedule is awry.
Paying attention in class.
Right now, I should be doing laundry and trying to find clothes that fit. I've lost 55 pounds in 4 months, and everything's too big. >:(
:( :( Do NOT like the sound of that !
I should be asleep. This seems a common ailment.
I should be sleeping but certain freak pain isn't helping. >:(
Swapping my old cracked cell phone for the nice new freebie one I got. Not sure why I am resisting doing so.
Familiarity?
I have several things I should be doing:
A) studying
B) trying to figure out AT&T's job website so I can get the heck out of Starbucks.
I should be trying to find clothes to wear to a funeral tomorrow, and Googling the addresses and such that go with it.
Instead, I'm contemplating starting a movement championing the cause of wearing one's 'lounging apparel' at all time. ANYtime is Pajama Time!!l
A European Protected Species licence application is being procrastinated at the moment.
A paper that I weaseled my way out of doing two weeks ago, on account of exhaustion and purposefully incorrect formatting.
opening 3 days post with important looking letters
<sigh>
I should be going home. However, due to the vagaries of our printer, I am stuck until the evil bastard actually prints what it's been told to. GRRR!
Data flows for two different projects.
I should be eating a sensible meal.
I'm eating peanut butter on mixed grain bread and pretending it's a sensible meal.
Good protein in peanu butter.
......
Fixing the bug in my email. But I have so many bugs.......
I should be calling the doctor for sleep meds.
Not for me, for Denise, but she doesn't have medication coverage and I do.
Yup, I'ma cheat ol' AARP Insurance out of about $12.... ::)
Preparing to track the wily otter.
Drawing a UML Activity diagram. Got a really cool Altova UML editor program to do it with, but am having a senior moment remembering what all the symbols mean.
Sleep.
Not throwing up.
(So far, so good.)
Preparing my liver for my first St. Patrick's Day in Ireland.
Countdown to Death by Guinness, 9 hours and 50 minutes....
There are worse ways to die.
Writing a paper comparing the views of Achilles and Odysseus in The Iliad and The Aeneid. :P
Well one had an obedient wife that fought of suitors with all kinds of lies and games the other one had Dido... Queen in and founder of Cartago. ;D
Me I should be sleeping as usually.
I should be not throwing up. Which means that 30 minutes ago, I should have been not eating what tasted like softened rubber bands in mucilage with chunks of chewy stuff. (Purported to be Chicken Fettucini Alfredo)
Writing up another chapter from my travel diary.
Writing an email
Writing an article on New Realism and Fifth Generation warfare.
Making my bed.
Getting a coffee.
I should not be here.
I should be writing anyone of the three papers I have due soon, or talking to my father.
But I came by to visit! :hug:
As so often, I should be asleep.
I should be Eating Something.
Another almost 20 pounds in a month weight loss...I have until Wednesday to put some back on. :-\

I should be writing a personal statement for this job, instead of flirting on MSN.
Undertaking conspiracy against all the religions and governments of Europe, carried on in the secret meetings of Free Masons, Illuminati and reading societies
Apparently.
I wouldn't take Daily Mail horoscopes too seriously.
I'm pretty sure the Mail opposes horoscopes, because "gipsies" (who are totally NOT gypsies at all. Nuh-uh) do them and thus they are an icky, European, non-Christian thing which is probably leading to our moral decline as a nation.

I don't think we need any help with moral decline ;)
I should be carrying out an act of deforrestation on my wardrobe in order to benefit the charity shop and so that I can cram more clothes in rather than using the floor as a coat hanger. But I never allow the should word. It is an abomination and can ruin lives. Therefore I am avoiding carrying out this act of violence.

You have to make allowances for me. I only did O-level history. And it was the subject I got the lowest grade in... ::)
I actually thought you did get it.
Then, I have waaaaay too much time, and so can study merry little jaunts like conspiracy theory throughout the ages. This is 18th century Alex Jones!
What is it with tennis courts and history BTW? Henry V, tennis court oaths, first nuclear reactors...

My friend was once nearly blinded on a croquet lawn. I'm not sure he counts as a historical figure, but his last name is Wallace, so there are connections.
That Australian rules croquet can be a bloodbath.
This was in the UK :p
I should really be pulling weeds in my garden. They're totally out of control.
I should not be counting beyond 20 in order to work out how many sleeping pills will knock me senseless for long enough to ensure I wake up able to cope with life.
Reading one of my texts. I have to get through the whole thing before finals. Noooo, I dun wanna!
I should not be laughing right now!
No, no, no-- I should not be laughing at this entire situation.
Paramedics are insane-but they are funny. (bless them all-they see the blood and guts so are entitled to it IMHO)
Getting a new Life.
Lurking on campus so no one has any fun.
Working, I have a deadline coming up. :o

Probably opening my backlog (again) of post, but it's much too late now. I might fall asleep......
Painting the bloody washing and drying room. :taz:
Well, if it is a drying room, at least the paint will dry quickly ;D
I ought to be putting my tax returns together , the vtax people sent me a letter demanding i do it , I have five days left...I think .

Writing quotes for survey work, thus ensuring further salary...

THEY owe ME this year, so I doubt they will be too worried.
Writing up my morniing pulse and blood pressure readings - three times a day and it is driving me to a slow grave. The picture is clear already but I have to do it for a whole month. Maybe they want to relate it to the weather conditions or position of the planets.
Rewriting my CV.
Reading Twilight.
Taking notes down for another writing project.
Emptying my closet of redundant clothing.
Cleaning, cooking, eating, reading......
Opening backlog of post. A common "should" for me and one that grows.
A badger survey. But it's pissing down, so I'm not. ;)
Application forming.
Dealing with the now opened post; but I have to sleep instead.
Now that I've been given another month to file , I feel like doing some land scraping and pond designing *sigh* , that's what put me behind in the first place , but the weather is agreeable today and my lilac is blooming and a much green is reappearing out there .
I'm going out with my rake and shovel and a spirit level , the tax returns are almost ready to take in , all I have to do is add up all the numbers for the accountant and double check for anything missing .
LOOK OUT GARDEN , HERE I COME !
I should be drawing, and then plunge into the bookkeeping for my little businesses...
I am listening to a report from the ice hockey world championship, a game between Sweden and France 3-0 in less than 7 minutes of the first period...

But I amuse my self by drawing a portrait of a friend and posting here... ;D
Oooh, this is the thread for me! Procrastination central. I should be either taking photos, running, or looking at recent sales on eBay to see if I can discern a trend. Instead I'm dicking around on a new-to-me forum and trying to find where the gardening threads might be. :)
Cleaning up my office - boring!
I should be taking pictures or shipping. But I just ate something disgusting, and now I'm excessively full.

And you just reminded me, I need to think about dinner. I know the youngest offspring wants spaghetti and meatballs again, but that might not go over so well with the rest of the house.
I should be tying up month-end financials, but screw it. Ima do it tomorrow.
As ever, sleeping. I had to sleep this afternoon/early evening as I was just totally utterly unable to keep awake, so now of course I can't when I should. Despair.
Preparing for a job interview.
I've don the practical bit but I need to do the mental bit too.
Wish me luck! :)
Working.
And good luck, Darli

After reading Jayna's yester-post, I'll announce that we had spaghetti last night. It's The Opsalett's (my daughter's) favorite, too!
Kiln, huh? Cool!
I'm sure there's something I should be doing, but I am successfully forgetting what it is, now. I think it involves getting up off my ...computer chair.

Haven't posted any pics yet... they're almost all watermarked with my real name and I'm not quite that familiar with y'all yet. :) Also, my most recent pieces are nudes...
OMG! I have to close a store in the website due to maintenance!

Whez! I almost forgot...
Gah I should probably be doing almost anything besides goofing around on the internet!
Should......? I think I have been should-be'ing. Worked Saturday, drove 4.5 hours back to town, cleaned carpets at the new place until 11:30 pm, got up at 8 am on Sunday, moved furniture all day (and drove a really big truck!), cleaned more carpets, hung curtains and paintings, fueled up said really big truck & dropped it off @ 11 pm, then got on the road and headed north again. Only made it 150 km Sunday night, so I got up at 5:30 am, drove another 250 km, drilled holes in the ground all day and found some nasty contamination (i.e. free oil sitting on top of the water table, 40 or 50 m from where it originated) and finished work at 7:30 pm. I should be packing samples into jars, but I'm eating (which I REALLY need to do, because I didn't have much time for it today). :)
Gotta get up at 6 am tomorrow and get back to the site, so I should go to sleep in an hour or so, considering I only slept 4 hours last night. ::)
I should also bathe, I smell like curry. :mrgreen:
Filling in my tax return now I have finally got all relevant information.
Oh, and, a bit like Aggie, or a tired housewife, washing my hair.
Should be doing my shipping... but I already missed my mail carrier, so I'm no longer in a hurry.
I should be writing a resume, a cover letter, and emailing my old debate coach to ask her if I can use her as a reference. I want to get on at Equality California and she could be very, very useful in doing so.
I should be studying Mendelssohn, my first rehearsal is this Saturday.
Should be studying MSc material. I am finding it almost impossible to force myself to do so.
Reading a Government consultation paper about microregeneration and wind turbines....
Or watching Mythbusters...
Grabbing a quick (rinse-only) shower and going to bed. Just got out of the sauna...
Oh, I wish I had a sauna here!
I should be baking a spinach souffle. I have a pot luck dinner to go to in a few hours.
Finding the wily badger. Or the cunning otter. Or writing up one of half a dozen other reports I have to finish...

writing my ethics essay
I phoned a friend and said I needed advice on ethics, he said essex? I said no ethics. he said I dont understand. what about essex? etc it went on until it became quite embarassing.
I think Plato already did one (Ethics not Essex). Even better it's pre-internet so no-one will realize you borrowed it.
I don't know about Plato as I haven't searched, but pretty well the whole of Aristotle is on the internet.
I was being facetious...
(and yes, it is hard to spot my jokes from my attempts at seriousness).
I knew you were being facetious.................... I was being informative. ;D
