Just exactly when is this procrastination week going to start?
Do you think I've got nothing better to do?
I could be looking in shop windows at dresses.
"Mmmmmm, maybe. Mmmmmm, definitely not! Mmmmmm, look at the price of that!
Mmmmmm, Oh I love that blue! Mmmmmmmm.........welllllllllll..........maybe.

People....People
How dare you let this thread become forgotten, you have to get back to some serious procrastinating.....

Hi Matt,

ooh...er, I think we have...

but plan to post more Real Soon Now

Best,

Oh dear. I messed around & forgot all about this. Well I'll get right on it.

I'm ever so sorry but I have been working really hard! This packet of boubons is taking more cups of tea than I expected.

I will attempt to put this on my schedule as soon as I can find it.

Jeri

err, been very, very busy lately - is it too late to post here?

Best,
Melody

I did momentarily think about it during my temporary enforced idleness (not that I am complaining), but decided to put it on the back burner for another day.

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGHHH!!! Sleepy!!! Go away!!!! I'll do it later!!!! *whine* (Throws pillow) I'LL DO IT LATER!!!!!

Now thats better, inane guffage being posted

I wonder if there is an opportunity to become a quango. Maybe we should start a new committee to highlight the benefits that we would provide the government, or more to the point, how we can spend all that lovely taxpayers money, spent wisely of course and without a penny wasted. I just hope we have enough bourbons.

I walked down to the end of the street, saw the fork in the road (that's fork btw!) and thought to myself "Should I turn left or should I turn right?"..........Or, (and this is where it gets really interesting) "Should I turn right or should I turn left?"
I stood for a while, then it got dark and it started to rain so I went home.

The committee to decide whether or not a committee or sub-committee is necessary to further progress this scenario at this moment in time has, as such, not yet convened but is expected to do so within the foreseeable future...............assuming a venue and date convenient to all........................................

This sounds very much like David (call me Dave) Cameron's "Big Society"

not quite sure what that word means i'll look it up later xoxo

In order to get this right I think we need to start working on next years agenda. Maybe we should go back to the beginning & start over. Lets give it some thought. I'll have to look it up again I don't remember when it is, but we need to try to be ready on time.

whenever

I'm finally getting around to posting to the initial thread comment for why do today what you can put off until tomorrow???

I'd do one in French, but it would be pointless, given the culture....lol

Best,
Melody

Today is yesterday's tomorrow! Ponderous...

Eh........no.

Latest report concerning "the paint".

It's still wet.

I'll keep watching!

Karen,
Explain more about this agenda you speak of.......
Would that not require electing or voting people to perform specific tasks and we are not the most organised bunch as it is....

Okay, that's it. I'm mad and I'm not going to take it anymore. It's time we all band together and take action...now!

oh,

er,

sorry,

wrong thread...

Best,
Melody

Matt
How can you say we,re not organized?
Look at all we've got planned so far.
You want an agenda? OK! I'll post one. umm soon, realy, I mean it, I will, soon.

Definitely organised.

We definitely decided that we would have a biscuit (or a cake, or sandwiches or something edible anyway - details to be finalised) with our tea (or coffee or wine or whatever - details also to be finalised) at the meeting to sort out the agenda for the meeting.

As soon as we can figure out whether the meeting is to be for 2010 or 2011 because it's more than halfway through the year we'll get right on it.

I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, I do believe we're making progress(I think).
Well, at least we're communicating.
hugs
Gracie

Yes we are deffinetly making progress. We are going to have something to eat, with something to drink, at sometime,at somewhere. I'm realy glad that's settled. I was starting to get worried.

Considering this is is only a preliminary meeting, does the team think that the second-best china will be adequate?
And can the minutes be taken down in pencil?

Hi Sue,

Since no one got around to bringing any sort of plates, I think we need to appoint a focus group to to discuss the merits of forming a commission to examine the possibility of deputizing a group of trusted nominees to go to the market next door for paper plates. I suggest opening the position of nominee to the entire membership for consideration in due time.

er, who remembered to bring a pencil....

Best,
Melody

Well done Karen, its always a good sign if we can clearly quantify progress. Sue, it makes me nervous talking about target dates for such a meeting when there is so much more detail that needs to be clarified. Attempting to decide whether it should be this year or next makes me very nervous, maybe we should limit our guesstimations to a target decade this century? or do you think that is too optimistic?

Very valid point Penny.

Perhaps we need to restart the whole process, and get another focus group together to discuss if we need a comittee to consider when the meeting is to take place before we get down to details such as food and crockery. (Maybe paper plates will not still be available?).
I suspect this decade is no longer viable, but if we really get our act together we might manage the next.
No rush though, lets give it proper thought and consideration. Take the Ents as our example?

I no longer have a pencil.

Well maybe we should use paper plates & paper cups for the refreshments because they are both recycleable and we should be seen tobe doing our bit for the environment too, while we decide on the focus group to organise when we should have the meeting to set out our agenda.

Hi Matt,

I'm afraid you are flying headlong into the paper plates and cups issue without appropriate consideration.

Shouldn't we have a consensus on whether we, as a group, prefer plain paper, plastic coated paper or foam?

A research team should be formed to do a full analysis of the issue, the environmental impact of the various choices and, of course, the international monetary effects of our choice.

Let's give this issue the due deliberate investigation it requires. After all, what's the hurry?

We don't want to rush into anything...
Melody

Great responce ! I like it ! ! !

I've got this idea.
Stay with me on this!
Quiet at the back!
We could, with a lot of time, and a lot of love, turn this whole thing into a "National procrastination fortnight!"
Yeeeeehaaw!

That’s a great idea Janis! I really think that that is something that should be on the agenda. Once we have perfected the operational model for procrastination week I believe we could then extend the same model to a fortnight. However, before we make such a daring move we need to seriously consider any repercussions.

Regarding the plate issue, I prefer the option of clay-fired plates as a more environmentally viable option. They require less energy to manufacture, are reusable and at the end of their desired ownership they can either be sold on or ground up and returned to the natural environment. Everyone’s contributions of ideas are valid and ultimately I believe should remain in the fate of democracy.

Great!
Just time for a quick bath.

Wheeeeeee!

Is it something to do about this new "wheel" thing?

Hi All,

Damn, I've done it again. I've missed the Steering Committee Meeting - must be for the fourth time running.

I really do have to get it together soon. It's just that I've been so enthralled by the "Herbals" and "Winge moan & groan." threads here that it just got by me. The posts have been so varied and interesting lately...

Belatedly,
Melody

Take it easy............I think the Steering Committee are all still sound asleep at the wheel................either that or they're waiting for the tea trolley......................................

Lynn H.

Hi Lynn,

But the Steering Committee are the most dedicated, committed, responsible, dependable and active members of this organization.....oh, err, I see your point...

Melody

Hi All,

 

A bit of artwork,
