An Asset :)

I'm probably the queen of last minute work, and my kingdom: "Lastminutopia" is lost... It's no wonder I don't fit in here! In this world run on clocks and deadlines! Sniff..sniff...

It's true.. I wouldn't lie really... Lasminutopia was lost in the most deadliest battle it ever faced against the timely "Clocksagons" it was horrible..and I the queen, fled for my life, quite obviously, in the very last minute.

Sigh...the problem started in school, that's how far back I can remember. Every morning, I'd be right outside the closed gates of my school, taking out my school diary for yet another entry for tardiness, pay one one rupee fine and smile away to class...obviously that wasn't punishment enough. I think my problems began right there...

If I had three months to work on a summer class project, I started work on it only fifteen days from the date of submission. If I had two months of study break, I'd have two months of vacation time. When I think about it, I don't remember studying like ever, and therefore don't know how I got this far! [No I'm certainly not hinting at being some sort of a genius, I mean I may be, but I'm not saying I am!] I may have gotten a minimum of twenty days before every semester end exam in college, but I started for them only the night before each exam! I mean you would think I'd have the sense enough to get in "the zone"[whatever that is] when my exams began? But noooo, if I had a gap of say two days between each exam, I'll have a holiday. And I'd start studying only the night before......again.

I thought this was something only peculiar to me and being a student. But we all know what thought did don't we? So here I am, with five buckets full of work to give in, and today is when I need to give them up, so when do I begin? I mean hello! Doesn't the fact that I'm getting paid make any difference to me?

But somehow the results have always worked much in my favour. My last minute work seems so much better than the odd day that I may have actually done something by making ample use of my thinking time. My juices flow in just the right amount, and I can't seem to stop myself from being on a roll, at that very last minute.

So here's a new addition to my resume: Strengths: Works well under pressure. Now isn't that an asset.
