There is a very good reason why I work great by myself. I can go at my own pace. I don't have other people constantly watching over me, criticizing and the like. Most importantly, I can set my own deadlines. I have a very selective method of procrastinating; if something is really important, I'll do it eventually, before timing is desperate. When it's not important to do immediatly, I'll think of it some day and be all relaxed and "hey, I think I'll get this done between laundry cycles" type of thing. But it's the things of middling importance that get me, because I fight with myself... I'll sit down to do it and think, nah, its not that necessary, I can do it later and do something more urgent now. And I go from there.
Unfortunatly I screw myself over alot. Take judging the Playwriting Workshops for instance. She gave me the scripts and the scoring sheets the day before, so, no problem, I can finish them the day of. Eh, I'll just give them numbers now and I'll fill in the comments later. Actually, why don't I take these home to type them up so they're legible? Oh, so you need the scripts back soon so you can discuss them at a meeting with the playwrites? Darn, I brought them in and have been carrying them around with me for a week, but I keep forgetting to put them in your mailbox.

A month later I'm a very unreliable person. Because now, while I have the scripts, I have lost the scoring sheets. Only one of which, I actually scored. And It's getting pretty bad, being a unreliable judge and all.

However, I'm getting really good at avoiding Ms. Antil in the halls.
