Seven Deadly Sins Meme - Day 4

Aaaah, Sloth.  What a great thing to think about on my first day back to work after Snowmageddon.  What lazy habits do I have?  What do I put off?  What do I avoid just because I can get away with it?  Generally, I'm a person who sees something that needs to be done, and just fucking DOES it.  I don't like to let myself be lazy in the broad sense of the word.  I don't like laziness in general.  But like all other Homo sapiens, we all have habits that, if we're allowed to become lazy, will become comfortable lazy habits.  

DAY 4 - SLOTH!

1. I leave clothes lying around.  No, not dirty ones.  Instead, I'll do the laundry, bring up a basket of clean clothes, dump them out on the bed... and then... leave them there until my wife goes to the bedroom at night to go to sleep, sees my clothes on the bed, rolls her eyes, and puts them back in the basket.

2. Shoes.  I toe them off by the door, and don't put them on the rack.  Horrible, yes.

3. Mail.  If I don't see anything that seems pertinent, I'll put it aside and get to it "later."  Seriously, I hate going through mail.  Stacks of paperwork.  Urgh.  I need a personal secretary, dammit.

4. Writing, believe it or not.  As soon as I feel like I *have* to write something, I don't want to do it.  It's like a mental block.  I put it off, I avoid it, and I hesitate.  I think it's because writing is an escape, a hobby, a frivolous pleasure.  The instant it becomes an obligation, I don't want to look at it.

5. Dusting.  I really need to dust my house, but I hate it.  I got that from my mother.  She hates dusting, too.

6. Learning to use new technology.  I know I have the raw brainpower to learn to use just about any tool or technique.  I just... don't.  Some things, sure, I learn them.  But... okay, example... I LOVE taking pictures.  Love it love it love it.  When I took my road trip when I was 21, you should have SEEN the incredible things I photographed.  I love capturing images.  But now, everything is digital, and I've had digital cameras, but I've never properly learned to use them.  I think I need to do that.

7. Doing the little things to take care of my health.  Yeah, believe it or not, I'm kinda bad about certain things.  Wearing sunblock.  Taking glucosamine for my knees.  Taking fish oil for my joints.  I hate them (huge pills are hard to swallow, and sunblock feels greasy even when it promises not to feel greasy), so I avoid them.  I go to the gym, I generally eat healthy, and I take my prescriptions and essential vitamins that my doctor told me I have to take, but the rest of it?  The stupid little stuff.   I'm trying to be better about it.  I kinda need to.

So, those are my lazy points.  I'm sure there are others, but that's what stands out right now.

Mmm... I suppose I should start focusing on my re-certification training now, right?
