A fancy word

I am a procrastinator, a delayer and I know it.  I can delay things so long that I forgot what I meant to do in the first place.
I am not necessarily proud of it, it is who I am, so I was elated when i learned that there is a fancy sounding word for this condition

cunctator


PRONUNCIATION:
(kungk-TAY-tuhr)

MEANING:
noun: One who hesitates; a procrastinator or delayer. 
Now I don't feel so bad about it. I will shrug my shoulders and say
Sorry folks.  I am but a poor cunctator. 
See?

Although I share your love of wonderful and unusual words, this one sounds just a bit too much like the "c" word, and therefore as if the noun is an expert or connoisseur female genitalia... something which, quite frankly I would never want to be confused with!
