The Official I Hate School Thread

28

This is me right now.
And while I'm on the subject of total avoidance, does anyone know if Thundershirts really work? My dog is completely neurotic. We've been having rain for like 3 weeks straight here in Denver, and now he won't even go outside. He's been peeing/pooping in the garage. At this moment, he's trying to climb into my lap, quivering like a leaf.

Feel free to post your own diversionary questions, comments or observations.In the past two hours, I've researched contract law, Thundershirts, dremels, and summery vodka drinks. All in the interest of complete avoidance. It's worked, too! I haven't even opened my paper yet and I'm ostensibly supposed to be "writing" or at least that's what I told my husband.Oh, and I wrapped my dog in an Ace bandage, but it didn't work.

I've used one but eventually had to drug up the dog...it was me or him lol

We got one for our cat when his brother died and he was having anxiety issues being the only cat in the house. It really did work, although we only needed it for about 6 months until we got a new cat to join the family. It was sort of funny watching him right after we put it on, he don't know what to do with himself or how to move around. Then within a few minutes he was really calm, we would leave it on for an hour or two, and the calm would last for about another day.

You had me at summery vodka drinks.

klone!!! LOL! I am laughing so hard right now thinking of you sitting down to crank out that paper...but you just keep posting!My thing is usually "Okay, I'm going to do this paper RIGHT NOW, here I goooo....hey, those blinds are *really* dusty, maybe I should wipe them down for 4 hours, THEN I'll do the paper..."

I'm supposed to be doing a powerpoint on my SMART goals for the future.. but all I keep thinking is uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.. Just nothing coming to me. :P I'll pass on the vodka but I'll take chocolate!!

I actually cleaned out the refrigerator this morning rather than work on a paper.

I got ya beat, I cleaned litterboxes. :P I am waiting for a paper to sail back to me from taskstream (I am positive it will but not sure why just yet) so what to do? Work on powerpoint or clean litterboxes.. tough choice.

At least y'all are doing something productive. It would be an okay trade-off if instead of writing a paper, I cleaned the house or folded the iceberg-sized pile of clean laundry on our bedroom floor. But instead I'm doing such productive things as reading about all the films Steve Buscemi has been in or reading about the Red Paperclip Project (if you don't know what that is, you should definitely google it - it was fascinating and hilarious, and now there is another hour from my life that I will never get back).
