Welcome to the world...

So this is my first blog...ever!  The name of my site is making me chuckle right now.  I am creating this blog because I am procrastinating from doing other things.  My goal of the blog is to write about my life.  My life includes my career, my boyfriend, my friends, family, travel, daily activities and cynicism.  My reason behind starting this blog is to do something productive while I am constantly procrastinating.  Blog, you will be my new distraction, but rather than waste time I will write and share my life on the internet.  What else is there to do, really?

I have been wracking my brain for months trying to think of a clever name for a blog.  I had a few ridiculous names thrown around.  Maybe if you're lucky I'll tell you what they were.  Regardless, I came up with this name after a conversation with my fellow cynical friend, Amy.  We went to University together and whipped out papers and projects the night before they were due.  Both graduated University with decent grades, worked throughout school and have been rewarded for last minute work our entire lives.  We had a phone call this morning and joked about how doing things last minute hasn't had any form of negative effects of our lives, aside from creating a little anxiety every now and then.  There is no harm in that really!  I have a presentation in 2 weeks and my work wants the presentation tomorrow.  I laughed when I saw the deadline.  Why would they want it a week early?  I will clearly forget what I put in that presentation.  I will complete it by Friday, which is 4 days before the presentation.  I will dodge phone calls and e-mails all week to make sure I can stay up late on Thursday to pull the information out of my ass for the presentation.  It will be an excellent presentation though.  I will feel the pressure, the stress, all of the good shit that gets your heart beating.  Why would I complete this 2 weeks early?  No, serious?!  I have yet to see a reward in completing something weeks in advance.  I am nikki and I am a procrastinator. 

I am not going to write every week about how I wait to complete tasks.  I am going to talk about my work and all of the fun shenanigans that come with sales.  My relationship and all of the fun shenanigans that come with relationships and other daily doings and issues that I am passionate about.  I live with a cat and am not a cat person, that sounds like a few fun times as well.  I think writing will help soothe my anxiety and relax me.  My therapist certainly thinks that..jk!
