Because I'm "working" right now, I bring you a quiz. (The scare quotes around "working" mean, of course, that I'm really blogging. Or surfing. Or doing something else procrastinatory. Which is a word I love - even if I made it up - because it sounds a bit like masturbatory.) Of course, I'm working tonight because I didn't work earlier today, and because I didn't work yesterday, but yesterday I was miserable from a cold, so I think that's legit. Not starting earlier today, maybe not so much. And I have a crapload of stuff due Monday that I haven't done yet. Whee!

This being an internet quiz, and all, I'm sure it's HIGHLY scientific. But it is eerily accurate. Then again, if I were really that organized and disciplined and so on, I probably wouldn't be working right now, would I?
I could totally see you in a pillbox hat.
