I’m Not a Procrastinator

    Just a quick thought that I had while putting off things I needed to get done while focusing on the word procrastinate. My curiosity is around the first part of the word. PRO. I mean, doesn’t everyone want to be a “pro” at something? Being a professional athlete is a good thing right? When someone is good at something even if they don’t get paid for it we say, “Man, they are really a pro at getting lids off of jars!” Sometimes a prostitute is referred to as a pro. I’m not sure that applies to my point though.

    If people say you procrastinate it’s like a negative even if the word suggests it’s a positive. Otherwise why wouldn’t they have called it concrastinator? I’m not sure who “they” are anyway that got to decide these things in the first place. If so crastinator is putting things off then I’m more than a pro. I’m not a procrastinator at all. I take it to a whole new level. I should be referred to as an Ubercrastinator. After all if you’re going to do something, do it Like A Champ. Even if it means you put it off and don’t do something.
