 I really like working with my boss and coworkers but they are very good at procrastinating certain tasks by doing other, just as important or more important tasks.

So I end up making their presentations for conferences in the week before the conferences. To be fair, I write up the reports on trials that the presentations are based on, but it's just funny sometimes how they all manage to do this. (I also don't mind, it's my job to do this stuff)

It is a law of the universe that people faced with too much to do will do the part of their job they like.

Which we may conclude for your boss and coworkers is NOT the presentations.

It is so very true. To be honest, making presentations is much less important than grant shit or talking to people or whatever they happen to do. Just means that they get to present what I want. Muahahahaha

That is one of the basic tenets of operations research, that the person who gets to frame the questions is making the decisions.

Use this power wisely. :)
