    UO:

    I have a better time hanging out with the guys then I do the girls.  Women are hard for me to connect with for some weird reason.

    This is generally true for me, too. I am kind of man-ish at times, though.
     
     
    ***stuck in box***
     
    Me too.  It makes it hard for me to connect with my super-duper girly 12 year old.  We clash on A LOT of things & I have to bite my tounge more often than not because I realize that she is her own person.

    can someone answer a question... is referring to your SO as "your boo" a racial slang?  


    Like if I said "that's her boo", is that racist?

    I don't think so? Maybe? I wouldn't be offended if someone called my SO my boo.

    There’s a lightning in your eyes I can't deny
    Then there’s me inside a sinking boat running out of time
    Without you I'll never make it out alive
    But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright

    I have a serious crush on Dyson from Lost Girl.

    OMG OMG OMG OMG HE IS SO AMAZING AND SO FUCKING SEXY.

    Team Bo and Dyson 4 lyfe. Lauren can suck it.


    im still on season one but I love him. When he smiles I melt.i also want to lick his abs.



    ***stuck in your sexy, sexy box***

    We are in agreement, Mermz. Total agreement. 




    -------------
    I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves bad TV.

    Lauren bugs me. She's weak and leaves Bo sexually unsatisfied. Dyson may have eternity to wait, but I don't!

    OMG. Why can't I just answer questions like a normal person? Every time the HR director asks me a question I go into a long winded explanation of why/how something is done the way it is and she just sums it up in like 5 words and walks away.

    I'm must have woken up on the dumbass side of the bed this morning.
    I think you're too hard on yourself. I do shit like this too sometimes, but it doesn't make you a dumbass! 

    Thanks. She really intimidates me because she is rally rally smart so I get flustered when she asks me something.


    I think I need to lay off the coffee today.

    @TheOtherJacobsons wtf dude??? Lost Girl is not at all what I would call "bad TV" :P

    I fucking love that show with a deep, passionate fire, though. I find Bo really relatable. She is far sexier a bisexual than I will ever be, though ;)

    Am I an asshole for thinking they should have cast Lauren as someone hotter with a less annoying voice?

    Nope. It's probably the principal reason that I hate her so much.

    UO: Being a good multitasker just means you are mediocre at everything you are doing. Sorry, but it's just not possible to be good at that.

    I'm sorry to be a total bummer. But I've seriously typed out and deleted many a thing this morning. I just can't with today.

    Companies should allow for at least 1 paid day off per year under the category of "If I don't get to hang out on a couch and marathon watch bad TV, I'm going to go absolutely BSC on the next person who calls/drops by and that will be on your head" day.
    You need to take a self-care day, @MrsButt! Can you use a PTO or vacation day?

    I don't mind social butterflies though I am not one and will never be one.

    The thing I don't like though is when people talk at me, instead of with me. Not sure if that makes sense.

    @jesuisfatiguee my work gives me exactly 17 days off for the whole year. I've already used half of them and I need to save some for Thanksgiving and Christmas plus if DD gets sick or something. It really, really sucks.


    I am so sorry :(

    I'm not saying it is not possible to multitask or be good at your job, but I do think that having your attention on many things at once means that something else will be substandard as a result.

    I don't need a study or anyone to tell me if I am good at something or mediocre. The results speak for themselves. 


    Often times when someone is mediocre at something, they know this about themselves and will often make needed changes. I think the study was done by a bunch of mediocre motherfuckers who could never get their shit together because if not it was done by someone who had to multitask so that would null the findings and void the study anyway. 
    Tell that to the people who text and drive. I bet they think they're good at multitasking too.

    Anytime I hang out with people, I have a great time, get in my car and immediately assume I was a total moron and they hate me. This includes any ladies I've met here.

    It's odd because I'm a fairly Fuck You, I Rule person in general, but I get weird in groups of women. IDK what it is.

    I am the same way in groups of women. Sometimes mixed crowds and other people will have this affect on me, too. I am really bad about overanalyzing every little detail of a recent conversation/interaction and convincing myself that I am horrible and unworthy of friendship lol
    +1. I though I was the only one.

    So far your contribution to this thread has been substandard.

    /gavel

    What else are you doing, jacobsons?
    I was walking from the train to work. I guess I couldn't text and walk at the same time very well ;)

    @TheOtherJacobsons‌ you cannot be serious with that reply. That's not the same thing and I hope you would know that.
    I do know it is not the same thing. I was not actually serious. I thought I would meet a ridiculous response with one that was equally ridiculous. Jeeze, I know I've been around for like 10 minutes, but I am not some rando BSC. 

    @katnhiding I knew that overgeneralizing a complex issue would leave the statement open to these types of responses. I am not actually taking this seriously, just wanted to post an UO that would start a conversation, which it did.

    I am ridiculously excited about watching the Fifty Shades of Grey movie after watching the trailer.

    It actually could be good if they make it more like Secretary and less like Twilight.

    @PeanutButterFox I don't think it is back peddling to agree when someone is not 100% incorrect. Would you rather I continue to argue with everyone?

    I think war has more to do with power than penises.

    I also hate war. My brother is in the Middle East right now and shits about to go down at any time. But, I think there are circumstances where it's a necessary evil. Hilter/Stalin/Kony/_____ wasn't going to stop killing Jews/gays/Muslims/______. No amount of diplomacy or sanctions was/is going to stop their evil from taking over the world.

    I realize this isn't every war though. Why did we take out Sadam but do nothing about genocide in Africa? There are bullshit wars, but sometimes we have to take out the really bad guys.

    Eta don't take away my liberal hippie card please
