Just finished a pretty tiring week at work. Spent most of it re-pointing brick walls in the basement.
So here is my question.
Why is it that I pretty much dread tasks before I start them but once I'm into it everything is fine?
They look so daunting when set before me I cower at the sheer magnitude of the undertaking.
I procrastinate.
But eventually I start and just have my usual great time working on it.

So why. Why do I look at the basement and try to find other things to do while subtly trying to talk the boss into going an easier route?

And you know we're not just talking about the brick wall here...
