I just received the following email:
Dear Andy,
Please disregard my previous email. I found already a clustering algorithm that works for us. . . .
Like I always say, one of the best things a statistician can do is just stand aside and let people do their work.

I would recommend putting procrastination on hold.
I think I disagree. I think procrastination should be carried out immediately, because otherwise there is the danger you'd never get to it.
That's interesting…right before I ask my Statistical genius boss a question via email I always put away my email, and tell myself to come back to it in 15 minutes if I still have a question.
I rarely still have question.
