Yesterday, I had been sitting in front of my computer since 8am in the morning. The goal was to search through the Dubai online recruitment agencies and apply for jobs. By 2pm I still hadn’t logged on to a single job website (shh…don’t tell Scotch). What is wrong with me? I kept promising myself that I’d get cracking on the job hunt in just a little bit. But first I felt the need to take a shower. It wouldn’t be right job hunting dirty now would it? Anyway, here’s what I ended up doing all morning instead of what I should have been doing:
13 Ways to Procrastinate When Job Hunting
1. Watch CBS Morning Show, ABC Good Morning America , and then the CBS Evening News on MBC 4 until 11:30am
2. Make a huge pot of Vietnamese sweet and sour soup for lunch
3. Look up recipes for bulgogi
4. Marinate leftover meat in preparation for bulgogi dinner
5. Watch a movie, preferably a good movie like Atonement.
6. Log onto Facebook and see what’s going on in the world of your friends.
7. Look up online how many minutes you have left on your cell phone
8. Take a long shower
9. Tidy up the apartment by sweeping the balcony, making the bed, taking out the trash.
10. Check on the status of plants and new seedlings that have just sprouted in the garden (mint, sage, basil, cilantro, parsley, thyme, garlic chives)
11. Constantly open the refrigerator door – each time hoping that food will magically appear or that something tasty can be made out of bread, mayo, and beer (man, I need to go grocery shopping).
12. Catch up on blog reading and take the time to leave comments.
13. Create a Thursday Thirteen list on procrastination
