My cat doesn't bother sitting. She climbs right up on top of me and gets right in front of the camera. Everyone must be paying attention to her at all times.

Many of us have been there. A pile of work to do, deadlines looming. And all we can do is procrastinate. I sometimes do things I’d never normally do. Just so I don’t have to do the very thing I am supposed to do.
One time, when faced with a particularly boring but important task, I took out my phone and started scrolling through Pinterest instead. You might think that’s quite normal. But my procrastination didn’t end there. I happened upon some clever cleaning hacks and the next thing I knew, I was on my knees with an old toothbrush, cleaning grout between the kitchen tiles. At least I was productive. But at some point I still had to tackle the task I’d been avoiding all along.
It is a cat's sacred duty to protect the soft can-opener from bed-mice. If they eat you, who will open our cans?

“It’s ironic, but for two days now, I’ve been procrastinating writing a post on procrastination. I’ve done it all. I’ve distracted myself with other, less important work. I’ve taken ‘breaks’ that extended about three hours longer than they should have. I’ve done that thing where I sit on Facebook and then I close the window, open a new one, and instinctively type in Facebook again.”

You can probably bet the last memory space on your phone he’s not the only one turning to Facebook instead of facing his work book. Over a million people have joined the Facebook group "Funny Memes: Work and Life" since it started.
Their sole purpose is to share, or look at, funny memes about work and life in general. It seems like the perfect way to pass time and procrastinate while still appearing to be productive.
But... but you need energy to make more energy. And probably that energy is in my lazy a*s. En mi culo! Suck it BP censorship!
Load More Replies...They hold for a car. In my experience as a long time activist, I've seen how police use bikes as a secret weapon. 1 way is as a sort of human battering ram. They sometimes have bars on the front for this purpose. Even when they don't they are trained to use them in ways to knock people down, HARD. I've seen them come from several blocks away (no way to see anything illegal) and crash full speed into a crowd of (non violent) Protesters. Some get out of the way, and the unsuspecting person(s) flies a few feet and hits the ground. They broke my hand in 2 places this way and crushing it w a knee after google Miami FTAA protests "broken hand". A 2nd is to create temporary barricades. They line up and stop people from, walking through, usually without communicating what is happening. They use this to separate demonstrators so they can grab a smaller group. The "snatch and grab" is a tactic cops have always used- run into a crowd, grab one person and take off. This is easiest w bikes blocking

The Oxford Dictionary defines procrastination as “the act of delaying something that you should do, usually because you do not want to do it”. Research shows up to a quarter of people are chronic procrastinators. And that the average adult spends three and a half hours a day procrastinating. Hey, at least my kitchen tile grout is clean…

I only got drunk once in my whole 36-year-life so far - all the way back when I was 18 or so, at a classmate's party. Had zero prior experience with alcohol, tried a bit of this, a bit of that, didn't eat much beforehand... and then I participated in a game where, if you were caught lying (or something, I never got the rules straight), you had to drink a shot of tequila. My crush was playing too, which didn't help, and somehow, no matter what I did, I always ended up having to drink a shot. In the end, my Mom came to pick me up. To my credit, I never puked - but to this day, I have never touched tequila again (it almost triggers me when I even see a bottle) and actively avoid ever getting sh*t-faced again.
I had a similar experience many years ago. All it took was heavily spiked red punch. Passed out and ended up in the ER.
Load More Replies...Dr Richard Ferrari has done extensive studies on procrastination. Here’s what he told the American Psychological Association: “One of my favorite sayings is, ‘Everyone procrastinates, but not everyone is a procrastinator.’ We all put tasks off, but my research has found that 20 percent of U.S. men and women are chronic procrastinators. They delay at home, work, school and in relationships. These 20 percent make procrastination their way of life, so of course they procrastinate when filing their income taxes. We are a nation of 'doers' but we are also, like people from other industrialized nations, a people of ‘waiters’.”

Load More Replies...Just curious, but how common is it for a waiter/waitress to come to your table? Besides fancy restaurants it's very rare for a server to come to your table except to deliver the food/drinks and to take the empty dishes away. If we want a drink, we have to go to the bar and order one. Some places will deliver it to your table, other places just hand it to you there and then.
I'm in Canada and it's common here. Sometimes, they will come twice. They also come to fill up the water glasses.

If you devour memes to distract yourself from your daily to do list, don’t beat yourself up. You might actually be doing your company a favor… If you share the fun with your co-workers. A study conducted in 2014 found that humor can actually boost persistence. And what company doesn’t want employees who weather the storm?
Researchers got 124 students at an Australian university to complete tasks before and after they'd been exposed to something funny. They found that humor is not only entertaining but also replenishing. The researchers noted that "organizations that require their employees to persist may consider creating a playful culture that encourages the use of humor to increase employees’ persistence."

Load More Replies...Since you came here to beat boredom, let me share this fun fact with you... The word meme has been around long before the world wide web and social media even existed. It was first used in 1976 by evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins. He described memes as "units of culture". Think tunes, ideas, catch‐phrases, fast fashion.
Tap the button to make ‘em stop showing up; it’s right there in your face. You’ll never get the recommendation again. (I’d tell you what the button says, but I haven’t been on FB in years. The way I remember it, there is only one button, so clic that one.)

Or, on the other hand, Facebook suggests a person, I'm like, will yes, I DO know them, *hits add friend* Facebook: it appears you don't know this person. I'm like dude, you suggested it!!!!!
To my dying day, I’ll never forget when FB suggested a pretty girl to me, and until that moment, I always knew zactly why they were recommended. I had NO clue why she was suggested, so I looked at her profile. While reading it, I saw she said she was the developer who wrote [a very popular-at-the-time] app. I thought, “She did NOT! Guy I went on a couple dates with did!” Kept reading; her employment record was the same as his, too. Grrr! Who is this faker?! It was later that evening when the penny dropped: The guy I’d gone on a couple dates with was now a (beautiful) lady. Thinking on it, I’ll bet that happens to more and more people. STILL curious, though, how FB had made the connection. We hadn’t been connected prior to her reassignment, so how did FB figure it out? 🤔 Tech can still surprise me, someone who’s worked in tech for nearly 40 years; it seems like magic sometimes.
You would be disgusted to know how many 13 year old girls have be SA'ed sometime in their short life.
Thank you for saying this. Even if they haven't, I feel like this is really shîtting on teenage girls, who are people and who have feelings about things. Not to mention the teenage hormones thrown into the mix - it doesn't make for the most emotionally stable of periods in someone's life. They may have been upset for any number of reasons, whether large or small. This just feels like mocking them for having an emotional response to something that upset them.
Load More Replies...i'm glad op (seemingly) had a good time when they were 13, but i don't see how it's unreasonable for 13 year olds to say that. that's around the same time (though a little later) my self harm addiction got worse, i hated my body, unwanted comments grew worse and more.. the fact they have so much internet access now is honestly sad, sure it can help, but it hurts more a lot of the time.
Anyone making OP’s comments is suspicious as heck
Load More Replies...You can be young and have gone through a lot. You don’t know their family situation, you don’t know how boys or men start to look at girls this age. Also consider than teenage years can also be the time you develop mental illnesses. Yeah I know it’s a meme but it’s still touchy
Last year a 4 and a 5 year old boy sexually assaulted a 4 year old girl badly enough that she had to be taken to a hospital. Just now I heard on the news about four 5 year olds being expelled from a kindergarten for sexually assaulting, threatening and beating several 5 to 7 year old girls. So, yeah, not that surprising a lot of young teens (of all genders) have more to forget about than the multiplication tables really, sadly.
Ok this isn’t funny do you know how many girls have been traumatised by SA and other s**t?
Does OP think people live under a rock until 18? They know what's happening in the world. They know they're gonna have to grow up in this crappy place.
Good lord, the amount of $hit I had been through by that age is insane plus I had been unknowingly (and still am) suffering from severe depression
I have never in my adult life experienced the level of drama I did between the ages of 11 and 16. Okay, my last job did come close. But being a teenager was still worse

Load More Replies...This one is actually relatable & I work 2nd shift. I come in when the boss leaves, the hot part of the day is waning, it's getting dark & I get to work alone. I have the most customers but *I* get to design and implement my own customer service style. I've found that I'm far better at my job than when managers, aka: "policy police" are hovering. I'm more relaxed, happier & much more effective. Some thrive better on our own. At a hotel it's a huge benefit because guests want genuine hospitality along side knowing what in general to expect. I get the best online reviews of any staff & have gotten the most raises. Yet with every other job I have had, I was constantly in trouble because I can't help but be out of my seat a lot, engage in authentic conversation, & do some things my own way. Since childhood I have been punished by people feeling powerful- cuz I could hardly follow (unnecessary) & narrow directions for every little thing. Now I'm valued for results & get to enjoy my work!
Relatable. As I sit here on my first breakb 4pm, everybody's gone and when I leave at 10pm it'll take me 20 mins to complete my 45 min. drive home stay up till midnight and tomorrow go grocery shopping, doctor or whatever I want with out crowds, lines, or wasting my vacation time
ughhh I hate it when this happens! also when it goes down but gets stuck in your throat...
As a small child I was given a tiny penicillin pill. It stuck to the roof of my mouth and started to dissolve. What a nasty bitter taste that was.

The truth to this statement is that if you're unhappy about life itself, money will not cure that. It will make you very comfortably unhappy but you can still be sad. Having said that most people's life issues are related to a lack of money and can be instantly fixed with a duffel bag of 100s
