Poll question: To what degree are you wasting your life
Edited on Tue Mar-02-04 02:12 PM by undisclosedlocation
I'm the world champion in this regard, so don't think I'm throwing stones. Just curious.

For purposes of this poll, spending your time in a worthwhile manner comprises learning, helping others, bettering yourself, or improving society. I think love ought to fall under one of the foregoing categories, but if it doesn't, add it in too. If you find your job to be soul-sucking and worthless, that has to fall under the time-wasting total.

By definition, efforts to unseat the alleged President are worthwhile (helping others, improving society).

If you have different ideas of what constitutes wasted or worthwhile uses of time, feel free to share them in a reply.

By the way, we're talking about waking hours here. Eating and pooping are pretty neutral on the worthwhile/wasted time continuum, leaving about 12-14 hours a day.

PS: This would be a lot more readable if "worthwhilely" were a more palatable word.

EDIT: Just added a missing conjunction, corrected a word, took out an extra "friggin'"

1. I voted "Mother Teresa"
Simply because I find the phrase "Friggin Mother Teresa" hilarious.
