Things we all think about

* MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

* Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

* I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

* The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.

* There is a great need for sarcasm font.

* I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

* I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

* Was learning cursive really necessary?

* Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

* How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

* I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

* Bad decisions make good stories

* Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from; this shouldn't be a problem.....(guilty of making people do this! Sorry!!)

* You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.

* Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.

* I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

* I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

* I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

* Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

* I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

* I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night, more kisses begin with Miller Lite than with Kay.

  1. Especially sweet when they're talking on their cell phone, too.
  2. AKA "Checked out for the day"!
  3. Oh so very true. Gotta love caller ID.

This one really made me laugh because I deal with this all the time, especially with my brother who has a tendency to mumble.

I usually say "what?" twice and then if I still don't get it..."yeah" and smile. *shrugs* what can you do.

Guilty. I will line-up a dozen bags along my forearm to make a trip rather than making additional trips.

I hate the line cutters. Both on the streets & in stores/banks.

I do some random surfing here & elsewhere throughout the day, but by mid to late afternoon, I tend to become more focused on...well...not work.

With close to 8,000 songs in my library, I love the diversity. I can listen to 70's, 80's, mellow rock, hard rock, even harder rock, metal, etc. Whatever I want, whenever I want. But, most of it has a time & place. There is nothing like listening to some Eagles, then get something like Five Finger Death Punch, and then get something from Great White when you go to a library or top-played shuffle. I suppose if you have ADD or some kind of weird, random emotional swings, this may work out, but....listening to music that is that varied is just
