the art of creating work to get out of working

so i learned a new thing the other day.

the art of creating work to get out of working. the basis behind this philosophy is creating work that you like to do, ie. renderings, emailing, reseaching online, etc., to get out of work that you do not want to do or don't know how to do, ie. detailing, redlines, etc.

for example...(keep in mind we are working on a tight deadline)

1. i need to do details, but instead, i will research where the best price is to get plotter paper.

2. i need to do details, but instead, i will play around w/ sketchup.

3. i need to do details, but instead, will work on another project, that involves me working on sketchup, that does not have an immediate deadline and is not a main priority.

4. i need to do details, but instead, will make a holiday calender on power point, yes i said it, power point, to figure out everyone's vacation schedule.

5. i need to do details, but instead, will have my cadmonkeys bail me out because i will eventually have them doing the work i was responsible for.

BOY i WONDER, if we'll meet our deadline.
