24 jul 06 "Everyone loves you...don't you know that?" not true -- i have the sort of personality where people tend to either like me or dislike me; i don't get as many neutral acquaintances as some. i'm not sure what it is about me that causes a few people to basically hate me on sight, or after only a few hours of interaction. in general, i'm sort of hard to get along with, i think. see this question. i've noticed this pattern (especially among teenage boys, for some reason): people start off really disliking me, but then come around to really liking me. the only explanation i can think of is that it takes me a long time (longer than most) to get used to any social situation, and until i do, i'm shy and snobby, which wins no friends. but i come around, for most people, except for those people who just like holding a grudge forever, as if it were some kind of hobby. i do this too, come to think of it. all of this interest and focus on the invisible hand comes from my friends submitting all the questions (hopefully "as of yet"). but thanks for the sentiment; it's nice to know that a few people think i'm charming, effable, fun to be around, etc. i always do my writing between my two shifts. time is fleeting. i guess people live for weekends and vacations, here in the world of work. in some cities, there's been a movement to bump the weekend up to include friday. ie, friday revelry starts off thursday evening. the effects of this are that one comes into work on friday bleary-eyed, hung over, still drunk, late, unshaven, incoherent, slow-witted, etc, but what can the powers that be do to stop such a mass movement? i still have to write that thing i keep promising to write about delivery driving. i just have so many questions, and at this point so little free time, that it's difficult to complete these projects. but i generally get in some star trek, some writing, some nap time, and some food before i return to work at 6pm. i don't know what else to say in response to this question, except "no, i did not know that, but it's good to know, even though it's probably an exaggeration, and how, exactly, did you come to arrive at this conclusion?". |
