It’s interesting because I don’t want to sound and reminding someone that the weekly meeting is going to start at the same time it always does tends to leak into the tone.

I constantly have to remind people of what I asked/check on project status/remind them that the meeting is starting. Does, “just checking in,” and “checking in” really sound that different? “just reminding you that the meeting starts in 5 minutes” versus “meeting starts in 5 minutes”

In the same vein, I read recently that the word “just” destroys your credibility. “Just wondering if...” “Just checking in....”

Thoughts?

I don’t put things away because I don’t have anywhere for them to go and it’s a continuous cycle of kipple threatening to take over my home.

Why are people so bad at reading other people’s needs??? I was in a very bad place once and trying to ask for help and my family practically ignored me. I got the, “now now you’ll be okay go back to hiding in your house for weeks without speaking to anyone.”

“My hairstylist, who is also a yoga instructor, said that her nutritionist read a story on the internet that confirmed that gluten is why your life is a wreck.”

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

We’re all gluten intolerant anyways ;)

Wait, now I don’t feel safe in public. Someone could be stalking me RIGHT NOW????

“But your life is put together! You have a house, and a job, and a car! How can you be sad? I saw you laughing the other day!”

o.O

This, plus, “But what are you sad about?” I’m much too proud to let anyone see me when I’m holed up in a dark room crying to myself. And then no one knows....

THIS IS HOW I KNOW HOLLYWOOD ISN’T TRYING!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for writing this. It’s very spot on to the same criticisms I have. It’s difficult to find a space for “adult” conversation.

Hmmm sooo good! I've never had that brand but ice coffee is yuuuum.

I thought it looked good too but pine nuts are soooo expensive!

Kettle corn and a $5 bouquet of flowers is my favorite things to get at the market. Everything else is necessary, but those two things are instant gratification!

I starred your joke. I get it. It was funny.

I thought it was, "now I don't have the money to pay for my Ferrari"

Excuse me, it's Clarksongate. Obviously.
