I'm a perpetual researcher Jul 29, 2015

The Web is such a source of information and entertainment that sometimes I get lost and waste a lot of time.

It's amazing how easy it is to put off work when there are blueberries that need picking and watermelons to watch.

No procrastinator Jul 30, 2015

Unfortunately, I am no procrastinator, in fact, the opposite. It gives me sleepless and restless nights (and days) if there is anything pending, and I can't rest till my slate is absolutely clean.
