Procrastination Is Cool

I do the coolest things when I'm trying to put off working. I made that neat weight-loss calendar last week, I converted all my DVDs to iPod format this weekend, and spent the weekend trying to find the ultimate to-do list. (Didn't find it -- I want online, multiple list management, quick-quick-quick, hierarchical, deadlines, ratings, time allotted, and RSS feeds for specific tags so I can share specific tasks with my lab assistant.)

So today, the first day of school, I obviously had to re-design my Windows desktop. I took the best of the organizers I found (SproutLiner) and made it my Active Desktop. Then I took a screen shot of the print preview of my Excel spreadsheet (a screen shot so I could ditch the gridlines) and made that into a Windows background. Lastly I loaded up iCEBar, which is very similar to the much-lamented Office taskbar. I've often thought of going back to Office '97 just so I can have that bar again. Hm. I wonder if I still have my Office '97 disk? And can I install just the taskbar?

Anyway, the screenshot below shows just how organized I look. Of course we all know it's fake organization, because I really should be doing work instead of making pretty. (sigh) I guess I should work, now that I've thoroughly documented wasting time.
