I am going to an appt. across town, in part to get my meds refilled. I wasn't paying attention and missed my stop, but I also overestimated the travel time required, and am on my way in the other direction with plenty of time to spare. ๐Ÿ˜ธ

I need to learn how to do this. Overestimate the time needed for travel.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Yes, and no. Im doing that, and uses tons of energy on that. So now, when someone else is late, I get very annoyed as Ice used so much time and energy to be early!

I thought I recognized your name - you were in my red lobster thread recently; the bankruptcy due to shrimp.

;-p

[โ€“] weariedfae 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Haha yeah. I really annoyed someone by joking around about shrimpfest in your thread. Man, it is super hard to convey tone in text. Hence overuse of "lol" or emoticons/emojis.

[โ€“] OldManBOMBIN 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you try to convey tone and meaning, people get upset; if you just rely on context and the flow of conversation - well, that's subjective and cultural in some cases.

Memes are the key. Complex modern hieroglyphics that convey all meaning through image (and text descriptions spoken by ai computer voices for the blind)

I live like 6 hours from LA but I always think it's 16 because of some stupid song lyrics. If I ever have to go there, Imma be way early.

[โ€“] OldManBOMBIN 1 points 8 months ago

I live 23 minutes from work, but I always give myself 15 to get there :-/

If you somehow managed to incorporate grabbing a Boba Tea where you overshot then I'd call that a perfectly executed non-plan.
