Procrastination

Okay, I have to admit, that I am a procrastinator about things, especially housework and maybe that's where he got it from, number one son that is. But if I have a short amount of time that I am told that something needs done, I get it done quickly and not wait around, especially if it's something important.

Well, on Friday or Saturday, he got a call from the company he works for that they were doing their interviews with employees to verify that they can lawfully work here in the US. I forget what the form is called, but it's done annually. He was told that he would be receiving an email giving him all the information about where to call, where to go, and what to take. He had only three days to set up an interview, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Knowing that I'm the one who has to drive him because he doesn't drive, I would have hoped that he would call early to see if an appointment was needed.

Wrong! Yesterday he should have called, but didn't and to tell the truth, I didn't know about it or I would have reminded him to get it done. It was not until last night, after it was too late to call, that I found out about it and that he had only three days to get it done. Needless to say, I was ticked and he knew it.

Luckily for him, which he found out when he called this morning, I made him call first thing before he did anything else, an appointment isn't needed and he can go in anytime between nine and five, except lunchtime. So, instead of procrastinating any longer we are going this afternoon, oh and did I mention that we have to go up to Des Moines, to get it done. I may stop and do some more Christmas shopping while I'm at it.

Oh yeah, one more place we have to stop is at the courthouse in town to get his state ID renewed. He let that expire. It should have been renewed back in October.

I guess this is one lesson he really took to heart. I wish he hadn't.
