The Procrastinator's Club of America...

[lspencer534]

Our motto is "Carpe Manana". We put out a monthly newsletter called, "Last Month's Newsletter", which announces upcoming events that have already passed...although I don't recall getting one this year.

Dues are $20 a year, and you application takes over four months to review your application. Don't send you application by air mail! They may disqualify you.

The Club was founded in 1956 and has 6,000 members internationally. Some of the group's activities include celebrating Christmas in June, Fourth of July in January and National Procrastination Week (the first week in March) late.

To request information on the club and a membership form, write to: Procrastinators' Club of America, Box 712, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009. Don't put it off!

Our creed:

1.I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

2.I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.

3.I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4.I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.

5.I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.

6.I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.

7.I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is not exactly zero.

8.If at first I don’t succeed, there is always next year.

9.I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.

10.I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.

11.I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.

12.I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.

13.I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.

Obama must be the club president. :D

[DAB]

I'll reply to this in due course.

About a year from now.

If I remember.

[MrPeabody]

I'm going to join...later.

[lspencer534]

I can see that you will make good members!

Members ?

I don't want to join any club that would have me as a member.

By the time they review your application, it won't matter anyway....

[DAB]

By the time they review your application, it won't matter anyway....

I have to fill out an application???

This is sounding like work, and a bigger commitment than I'm comfy with.

All it asks is your name. Do you think we like spending time creating applications?

Can I just mark an X on an index card?

I could do that.

I'll leave it on the front porch.

The wind might blow it in the right direction.

Don't know if I'd go to that much trouble....

I'm an over achiever at under achieving. :DAB:

Darn...I hate losing you as a potential member. You seem like such a...natural.

I put in a full days effort to doing nothing somedays.

I guess that's where we're different. I love hard work. I could spend hours watching it. Sirus. It's exhausting, though.

[Bill]

This is probably a great thread. Meh. I'll read it tomorrow.

[DAB]

I'd find this far more funny if I didn't actually work with people who would fit into this group...:lol:

You've met Wally?!

Second Tuesday in the first week of the month?

[DAB]

Second Tuesday in the first week of the month?

Oooh, I'm really trying to avoid getting pinned down.

[Budman]

I've been told I'm indecisive, but I'm not sure about that.

My long time mantra is sort of like that. I use “Do not put off till tomorrow what you can put off till next month”!:D

[CertInsaneC5]

I have no idea what yawl are talking about. I will read this thread tomorrow, maybe.

[Chris Fowler]

I was going to respond yesterday...I've got some very good thoughts about this post.

Maybe tomorrow...

[Aerovette]

Bookmarked the this thread to read later.

I'll reply then.

[VITE1]

I need more time to plan my response.

[8Up]

I've been meaning to join for a while now.

[Z06David]

I drive my wife crazy with my procrastination :lol:

When she wants me to get something done, I tell her "I'll get it done, you don't have to remind me every 6 months about it!!"

[Barn Babe]

:withstupid: Too much reading for me.

[Rob]

i've been meaning to lock this thread....maybe next week

:island14:

[DropTheTop]

Subscribed, so I can read later.

[Aerovette]

I don't understand the OP's big rush to start this thread. It could have waited. I am sure the same question could have been asked in a month or two or even next year.

Like I tell my wife.. "I'll DO IT, you don't have to keep asking me every 6 months"

[Czarvette]

Saw this the other day, just wanted to let you know I'll post up something in a few.

[Kerrmudgeon]

I'll read this thread tomorrow....:sleep:

[DropTheTop]

Subscribed, so I can read later.

So I started reading about the Club sooner than I expected, since I was trying to put off the task I should have finished last week. Then I realized by doing so, I may have canceled out the one procrastination by no longer procrastinating reading about the club! Then I realized the procrastination had already started earlier, so it was too late . . . or is it not too late?

. . . Only time will tell.

:waiting:

That's the right attitude! :seasix:

I've been meaning to check this thread out. I'll get back to you maybe tomorrow. (Tomorrow is only a day away ;) )

Carpe Manana, my friend. I may do the same.

Gee...I don't know. Sarcastic people usually need immediate feedback...so unless you're prepared to wait seconds...or even minutes or days ...for a reply, I'd consider the Procrastinators Club.

[DAB]

Could we make this a sticky? :leaving:

I'll think about it...
