    I think Wendy's right we should wait until we get to the new site so that we can take our time & get it right.
    Unless anyones in a hurry.

    I keep meaning to get back to this. But I've been um well, busy. That's it, I've been busy. Doing um, something important.
    So real soon I'll post something that matters, maybe, to someone, I think.

    I'm getting realy fed up, with all the delays in formatting a positive policy. nobody seems to have any ideas on how this thread should proceed, it seems to have lost direction all the threats of determining an accepted procedure, As new head mod, I will post something inspiring and positive, leading by example. watch this space for an example as to leadership etc. I am going away to dwell on this a t leisure-contemplate my navel and come back when I have decided about something to think about ..............................

    I think it is excellent news regarding the positive thinking for positive action but in effort to remain balanced and transparent we should also consider what negative thinking can bring to the discussion. Also, we shouldn’t dismiss the ground breaking advances that 50 monkeys with typewriters producing the entire works of Shakespeare are achieving. I know it’s very easy to accidently limit the bounds of one’s thoughts so as long as we remind ourselves of avoiding that pitfall we should be moving in the right direction, once that direction has been determined. I understand that finding a starting point has been added to the agenda but we will have to wait and see how that philosophy develops.

    A typical overly cautious response there, sometimes you have to make that leap & go for it

    Hi All,

    I think this thread has gotten off track. Some don't seem to know what it means to procrastinate. Let me enlighten you:


    pro·cras·ti·nate
       /proʊˈkræstəˌneɪt, prə-/ Show Spelled [proh-kras-tuh-neyt, pruh-] Show IPA verb, -nat·ed, -nat·ing.
    –verb (used without object)
    1.
    to defer action; delay: to procrastinate until

    oops, there goes the tea kettle. I'll finish this later...

    Best,
    Mellie

    Hi Matt,

    You, of all people, should know that the National Procrastination Association's August 2006 meeting has been postponed till 2012. Maybe you didn't get around to reading the minutes.

    Best,
    Mellie

    Typical bloody man, wants to run before he can walk, leaping without looking, blundering on blindly, lets take a few minutes and contemplate everything we have achieved so far and then have a discussion on how we can improve on future performance. , more haste less speed. better ere on the side of caution. make sure we get it right..

    I will definitely and positively think about it. Maybe.
  • January 20, 2011 5:04 AM GMT
    Why a week?
    Why not like somethin' like ......I don't know........like forever or somethin'........yeah that'd be good wouldn't it?
    Well let's think about it anyway.
    So shall we have another meeting sometime?

    A year today this thread started, I'm delighted to announce that nothing positive has happened and even the threatened AGM has been postponed indefinately.

    Is that not a paradox because tomorrow never comes?

    I am proud to announce a party to celebrate a whole year of wanton procrastination and decadence. Although details of when the party will take place are yet to be finalised it is thought that it will be around this time next year so, if I was you, I would double check closer to the time.

    It has come to my attention that the sub-committee on Seating Arrangment Safety and Fire Escape Access has issued their report. This is very, very serious business.


    The report was due to be presented to the membership at the December 2012 Steering Committee Meeting. That it is now ready, much less available, is an affront to this organization and it's basic principles.


    I move that the sub-committee be disbanded, members chastized and the report be declared invalid. We do not welcome this "eager beaver" approach. Perhaps a sub-sub-committee should be conviened to place this punishment before the membership so that this sort of thing doesn't happen again. But, of couse, I wouldn't want to rush to judgment.

    I'm bloody fuming, who elected this seating comitee anyway without the general consensus of every one, not even being given the opportunity to not rush through a vote smacks of incompetance..to say the erm......

    Cristine, I fear we will never know. The organization's Secretary has not updated the Official Minutes since 1996 and with her untimely passing in 2007 (what was her big hurry?) that information will not be available.

     

     

     

    Remember:

     

    "Never expidite when you can PROCRASTINATE!"

  • July 29, 2011 4:04 PM BST

    "What do we want?"


     


    "Less dithering        perhaps?"


     


    "When do we want it?"


     


    "Would next Tuesday evening be ok?"

    Once again, outside agitators are trying to back us into a corner and make us violate our principles and come to a hasty, ill-concidered action.

     

    "The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012.This date is regarded as the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae related to this date have been proposed."

     

    Clearly, we should not be rushed into anything. The end of the world can wait till we have come to consensus on on these serious matters.

     

    I propose, we take no action before January 1st, 2013. (Nobody can rush us!) 5,125 year cycle Pfftt!, we can do that standing on our heads, assuming we get around to learning to stand on our heads...

    Celebrating the National Procrastination Week of 1971....(a bit late)........ listening to the musical HAIR, slipping into comfortable Bell-Bottom jeans and a Halter top, to be followed by driving in a 1968 Mustang Covertable down the coast of California while listening to an 8-track of Iron Butterfly's only hit.


     


     


    BTW: AT this point Sonny & Cher had a little girl who has since grown up to be herself... as Chas......Cool
