habit (and i don't mean a nun suit)

[rone]

As i just now return from Rasputin with a 500-CD pine rack, i realize that i've developed a weird habit for rushing off to a store just before they close.  Today this failed me when i found out that the reverse-osmosis joint where i get our bottled water has started closing at 17:00 on Saturdays, instead of 18:00.  This is separate from my unfortunate penchant for being late, but it seems to go hand-in-hand with my well-developed procrastination skills.  In any case, it seems to be a cheap thrill, in the same category as beating out a yellow light.

When I start doing this it usually means that it's something I'm slightly anxious about doing, and getting to it very late provides a good chance that I'll have an excuse to put it off until tomorrow. It's particularly likely behavior when there's a considerable backlog of things for me to do, and tackling the list means confronting my shame at not having done them already.
