If this makes it to American shores they will not be able to keep up with demand.

I do not think this will ever make it to the USA.

Similar policy in my library system. I assume most are not so.

I just came from my local library. Got language CDs and travel books for a vacation. DVDs about national parks and a kit for monitoring a device’s electricity use. And an electronic draft finder.

And there’s much more like music, movies and ebooks.

Even if you do pay some fines you come out way ahead financially at the library.

Fucking Jessica!

Yeah, why not life-ruiner?!?

a few ideas:

Learn:
An instrument
A living language
A dead language
A fictional language
A programming language
A new sport
A craft
New recipes
Bodyweight exercises

Go:
To Hell (Hell, Michigan)
Hike
Powerwalk your local mall
Cross country skiing
To your local arcade
To the coffee shop
On a road trip
Walk all the streets in your city
Test drive something interesting
To a movie
To your local library
To a concert
To an art gallery
To a museum

Sounds like a shit sandwich on shit bread to me. Mouth surprise indeed.

That’s great. Now do skittles.

Interesting video. Thanks.

And fuck as many midgets as your heart desires.

I did some deadlifts over the weekend. My body won’t let me forget what I did every time I do anything.

BBSes. My first modem was for my Commodore 64. All you could connect to were Bulletin Board Services which were simply someone else’s computer that was running software. Usually you would get some sort of menu if options when you connected.

CompuServe came not too long after that probably on an 8088 or 386 PC.

Yes…if you’re a vampire.

Uh…

You’re NOT doing that?

Kinda like…

…yo momma!

(sorry…it was a beautiful setup…I could not resist)

How’z 'bout I PONG your HEAD, Kenneth? Would THAT be funny?

Wow. You really have a chip on your shoulder, my friend. If that was a lecture then you are going to have a hard time in life. I would call that gentle advice.

Did I say the workplace is the only place you can go to meet people? Obviously I did not. You put words in my mouth, inappropriately. But in your original post you seem to say that you don’t want any sort of personal relationship at work. My point is that that is bad for your work/career/life.

Work imposes some level of relationships on you. Right? My point is that interpersonal relationships at work matter to your work/career/life.

I think you could benefit greatly from some counseling. It might help you to recognize unhealthy vs. healthy thought patterns.

Best wishes, my friend.

There is nothing wrong with people being social at work. Strong personal relationships mean strong work relationships. And introverts need to understand that relationships matter. I say this as an introvert.

Don’t just be a robot at work. Recognize the need for good working relationships and that some level of personal interaction, and even friendship is OK at work. Today they need help, tomorrow you will need help.

To your point, I am very bad at that and work from home has really improved my productivity. See if you can wfh more. Also, sometimes you need to politely explain that you have to get something done to meet a deadline or meet priorities or whatever your situation is.

The trick that I’ve used also works for OCD: Say it to yourself. “The door is locked.”

Works pretty well.

More than a little confused by your comment.

Retarded is crossed out in the 4chan post. Did you read it?
