I suppose this would be more fun if it were on a week day and you could be late for work. But, it is a holiday week-end and you must have somewhere to go that you can show up fashionably late. You can find actual instructions on being fashionably late on eHow.com. Imagine that, some people might need help to be late.
I found some references to the fact that this day was started by the Procrastination Society. But, when I tried to find information about the society I found that there is not one, but several groups dedicated to procrastination. One thing they all seemed to have in common was The Procarastinator's Creed which reads something like this:
- I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
- I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
- I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
- I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
- I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
- I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
- I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesimally small, is not exactly zero.
- If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.
- I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
- I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
- I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
- I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.
- I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
