What things do you do that you know you shouldn't be doing, yet you do them anyway?
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 01:27 PM by AspieGrrl
Here are mine:

I eat and drink while I'm on my laptop (but I'm careful not to spill anything).
I'm a believer in the "10 second rule".
I talk to strangers on the internets. Just like I am now.

You?

3.  Mine:
Get on DU, when I should be working. Like now. :)
Delay dealing with financial reality.
Stay up late. All the time. I screw myself over for the morning, but I'm such a night owl, it's hard to change.

6. Pay bills
Live life according to a clock. At least with old clocks, you can hear the life draining seconds ticking, and it has a Earth-going-around-the-Sun circular build to it. You get the relentlessly silent(except to wake your ass up to go be part of the machine again) digital clocks though, and the constant forward motion that you can't even see built into them, and it makes you wonder why you do it. To pay the bills of course.

7. Eat cookies
Drink coffee with sugar. Drink sodas. (Yes, I'm feeling a bit portly today. Why do you ask? :evilgrin:)

Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 05:44 PM by BlueIris
"my President" will actually get to be recognized as President in his lifetime. Stay up late. Drink coffee. Secretly wish that those who have wronged me will die fiery deaths. Neglect the cleaning of my desk. Oh, yeah, and drink coffee.

15. A list:
* Sometimes for breakfast I have an espresso, a croissant and an unfiltered Lucky Strike on the patio at work. We're not supposed to smoke in public areas (even those designated for smoking) and I supposedly quit smoking years ago. Further, that's just an unhealthy breakfast. It just feels so continental though.

* I drink before noon.

* I hit on customers who were in elementary school when I graduated college. I occasionally date them too.

* I flirt with customers old enough to be my parent. I feel this balances out the last one. Strangely, I find that they won't date me.

* I have on more than one occasion served someone soy sausage and told them it wasn't.

* I give customers decaf or whole milk instead of nonfat when they piss me off.

* I gossip.
