It means we are kindred spirits! And, it's a diversion from the slumping Red Sox.
*sigh*
Don't feel too guilty about slacking at work. I like to think of slacking as recharging my batteries.
Loved your meme! We learn alot about each other :)
I love memes, they're so much fun. They really are a good way to learn about other people.
Thanks Jan. I'm going to stick with that excuse...er, definition... from now on. :) And Tammy and WB, you're right! They are a cool way to learn stuff about people that you probably wouldn't ask them.
Bug, I loved your answers. Here's something that might help you with your guilt about slacking. PHilosopher John Perry has written an excellent and very funny short essay on structured procrastination:

You just need to find a task more important than the work that you're slacking on, and then you'll be motivated to do the work you're slacking on as a way of avoiding the higher priority task. TI
I love reading people's MEMEs--I learn so much about them. Very cool, very cool, indeed. And TI--that's a hoot! And a damned good theory...I shall apply it...
...tomorrow.
;)
It takes a brave and honest woman...to admitt to Facts of Life...as for full house...it to for me, was a guilty pleasure. I was way to old to watch it..but I still did.....
I told january that I might just have to steal this meme...so now that you did first... I feel less guilty! Thanks. Enjoyed it...
Ti, I also love that theory about slacking! I'm going to think of that quite often. I'm finding it very hard to get anything done this week--my last before vacation.
And WendyLou, LOL about the facts of life!
