procedure

Defined by Gina Linetti as just a fancy word for 'proper order to do things'.

It's a Brooklyn 99 joke, y'all.

Rosa: We followed procedure.
Gina: 'Procedure' is just a fancy word for 'proper order to do things'.
Holt: Yes, that is it's definition.

chemical process engineer

When you were 18, the university recruiters told you chemical engineering had "so much variety" and "so many opportunities!" Now, you're graduating 4 years later and have realized that your only two options include oil refining (making gasoline from crude oil) and plastics (making polyethylene from ethylene).

This is probably okay, because whatever you suffer in breathing in toluene all day wearing dark coverall FRC's in 95°F weather, you'll make up for with a 6-digit salary right out of school. You also find yourself with a strangely intimate understanding of how everything around you works, like swimming pools, HVAC, cars, plumbing... everything.

Snooty grad-school materials researcher: "So what are you doing after you graduate?"

You: "I'll be working for a (Exxon/Valero/TOTAL/Phillips66/Shell/Citgo/Lyondell/BP) refinery."

SNGSMR: "Oh, so you're *just* a chemical process engineer?"

You: *grabbing another beer, talking to someone else, driving home in your brand new car...*

procrastination

Establishing an environment in which the creative juices can flow.

My best work is always done at the last minute, whether it be working on a project or studying for a test. I just take my time, and the ideas begin to flow.

Procrastination

Leaving things off until the very last minute, or completely blowing them off, regardless of the consequences.

Procrastination is knowing you have a really important paper due tomorrow, but you just can't find the motivation to do the work. It's already 3 am, and you still haven't done anything. Then you decide you're too tired and go to bed, figuring it won't be that bad to turn it in a day late. This situation can repeat itself many a time.
