Wow, you have to be out even at night? That's a lot, no wonder you're exhausted.

It's certainly amusing that we have the technological means for doing so many things from home, but still many people see it as akward or even negative.
I agree it's not the best way to socialize, but it definetely is a great way to do plenty of office work!


OK!
I already got the avatar ones, which were the ones I wanted, so if you need anything else feel free to ask. Because I keep throwing water bombs for no purpose at all :mcgrin:

Yes. If I am not able to go straight home after work it's fine, but more than once a week is so annoying. I'm glad I don't have kids (I don't want any anyway) because I would have to run around for them. I help my sister sometimes with my nephew and usually I get so annoyed because I was so looking forward to going home and working on my crafts, etc. She likes to wait last minute to ask me if she knows in advance she needs someone.

Right? I mostly email people at work if I need too. I have to work up the courage to call. I'm okay with places I've called before, but new places, my anxiety is through the roof.

I think I will make it. I just looked at the end date of the event and I should be fine. I am a little under halfway. I have been throwing them at people who are a higher level than me for more points lol.

It must be tiresome indeed.
I'm glad I have a job which allows me to arrange my time pretty well, it's an advantage.

And I do have a kid, but still get some alone time.
People sometimes asks me why he goes to bed so early. Because we need it. We need our no-child time. And we prefer it late at night (when we really need to recharge) than early in the morning.

I wish I have that. I've been busy lately, but there are still time when I'm just sitting because I have done all of my tasks for the day/week/month.

OH How old is your kid? I remember putting to kids to bed was my favorite part of babysitting lol. Then I would just read the book I brought with me for a few hours.

My kid is 6.
He loves being read, but he can also enjoy reading some comics on his own. He's quite introverted himself.

I could, but I rather try to get it myself first lol. If there was a knuffel involved I probably try and be on here 24/7 because of that. I love knuffels.

Aww. My nephew loves to read too. He hates it when he doesn't get his reading time before bed (he's 9 now).

I love reading too. Light novels and web novels translated into English lol. Although I like physical books too.

I used to be quite a reader when I was younger.
But I am a dinosaur, and there was not such a thing as the internet to entertain me back then :mclaugh:
Now I still enjoy reading, but I hardly read a whole book in a week.

If you do miss an item or two, just tell me. Not selling my extras, just giving them away 8u
I mean, I could sell them but it'd be like for 5 FPs each so might as well be free xD

I don't like reading despite being someone who writes and posts online and talks to people through text.
I usually skim over stuff quickly and get what I need out of it.
I've been doing this since I was probably in my early teens.
I somehow managed to pass all my quizzes and score above average in my GED xD;
