Last Minute Prompts


I am the Queen of Procrastination.  I tend to work best under pressure; sometimes I need a deadline in order to get anything accomplished.  Sometimes I leave things to the last minute because I have no choice.  I have so much on my plate, I need to prioritize what needs to be done first.  Kind of like a triage of my schedule.  I do this at work all the time, since I am the only person currently in my department (not from lack of trying to get more help, but that's a completely different topic). Fitting people in for emergency assessment when my schedule barely allows me time for lunch is an art form.  Or an exercise in futility.  Sometimes both.  :P  Anyway, I am writing this blog right before I need to publish it, so I thought procrastination would make a great theme for some prompts.  

 

PT Prompt #165 

You have a presentation due at work tomorrow for an idea that could revolutionize the company you work for.  It's 9:00 pm and you haven't even started it yet.  Why haven't you started it and what is the outcome the next day?  

PT Prompt #166

Your best friend has set you up on a blind date.  You are a chronically late person and get to the restaurant a half hour late.  What happens when you arrive? 

 

Reminder:  We welcome guest prompts, so if you have an idea for a prompt, please send it to me, @Aditus, or @Cole Matthews and we'll be sure to feature it in a future blog. 

Please include the prompt number either in your story/chapter description or title to help readers who would like to search for specific prompts. Also, please remember that stories less than one thousand words must be posted as part of a collection

I had a similar scenario to #165, but it was a term paper for school instead of a work project.  It was a Sunday when I discovered the term paper that I thought was due next Monday was due tomorrow.  At 9 P.M.  Horrible feeling.

I wrote mine in a panic and caffiene fueled frenzy from 9 pm to 2 AM.  I think I got a B.
