Hello ..... My name is Kath and I am slack. I am a procrastinator. I am lazy.
Now I KNOW these things about myself - highly enlightened kind of person I am - what I do NOT like is when people discover these things for themselves.
Case in question: New Boss. Now OK boss is not exactly NEW new - but 18 months new and that's still new in this case. I have up until this point managed to baffle him with bullshit for 18 months about what I actually DO during the day, and lets face it - I could score awards for my paper piles and loud "sighs" of being completely overwhelmed by work.
Today however I sorta got busted for not having done some things that I should have been doing. Now it was not through ignorance that I did not do them - I KNOW they needed doing - it's just that I hadn't got AROUND to it yet. Which started me thinking about genetics. Trust me - it's not that big a leap. Lets look at an example shall we????
Moi: Mmmmmm I have SO many things to do before I go home.....damn how am I going to manage?
Boss: Kath I have to go to a meeting - you will probably be gone by the time I get back - see you in the morning.
Moi: Mmmmm OK bye then. (YAY can now chat and blog and google funny cat pictures which make me laugh)
Me: Boy child can you PLEASE clean your room and take the garbage out.
Boy Child: "grunt" (or some similar gutteral sound)
Me: Ok going to work now remember to do chores I asked you.
Boy Child: "grunt" (YAY can chat and blog and google boobs and things that make me.............(you get idea)
Boss: Kath can I see depreciation schedules and balance sheet will all adjustments for end of year?
Me: Here they are (weight on one leg - hands on hips - hair over shoulder) I havent actually done those last adjustments as yet - its just been so hellishly busy lately.
Me: BOY CHILD!!!!! This room is a F#(@ing DISGRACE - WHY have you not done what you were asked?
Boy Child: Mum (shoulders down - head on angle - eyes wide open - small smile on lips) I have had SO much homework to do and I just haven't had a chance as yet.
Me: Ok darling, just make sure you get to it when you have finished homework.
Boy Child: "grunt" (is now googling boobs)
Is it just me or does anybody else see some kind of pattern emerging?
Surely I have more to pass onto boy child than how to effectively get away without doing stuff? Or is he purely and simply his mother's son???????????????
In meantime I shall be lucky to have job whilst being surrounded by filth at home (actual filth and cyber boob filth).

I have recently come to the same embarrassing conclusion. Looking at my 80's boob/leg pictures and watching how my daughter wants to dress.
Seems as if apples don't fall that far from the trees after all.
O M G
I'm not even going there....genetics and my sons. I sure as hell am not taking all the blame!!
