I'm having the opposite experience. I have started a side business, and I'm getting to the point where I'm close to wanting to try to raise money. This has made me not care a wit about my paying job. And I like my paying job, but my boss is a pussy and my CEO is a moron, so it's sometimes a challenging environment. So I've taken to just speaking my mind basically all the time, since I don't give a fuck what happens. And it's weird, because I'm having an Office Space type of experience. I keep doing less and less, and keep acting like a bigger thorn in the side, and they're talking about promoting me. It's ridiculous. Corporate America is dumb. Really dumb. Everyone is a follower, so the leaders are all sociopaths. So while, yes, I put things off until the last minute, it's more because I'm off doing other things rather than paying attention to what I'm getting paid to pay attention to. Let's just say my wife is a bit ambivalent about it!
