Ugh yes. And whenever someone asks, I immediately feel guilty and ashamed. And probably look guilty and ashamed, which probably makes it seem like I've been doing something I should feel guilty and ashamed about. But the real answer is somewhere between "I don't know" and "I went on the internet". 😬

I guess that must come from decades of amazing interactions with my mother yaaaaay

I feel this in my soul. ((HUGZ)) From a fellow pecked hen.

I think it's funny that I'll come home from work and when asked "What happened at work today?" I'll answer "nothing", but then tell a few stories about what happened at work later on in the night as other things remind me of them.

Bro it's like the silence that ensues when people ask you about your hobbies

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You know, things and stuff.

In my free time I like to breathe and sometimes eat thank you very much.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh yeah! I fucking love eating!

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Especially the bit when you chew the food and it has a ton of different flavours! That bit's my favourite

I’ve usually got a long list of things I either want to delete, or I have excitedly finally gotten to delete.

Deleting other people’s shitty code is my favourite thing. The guy before me left a lot of code to delete.

I used to work a job wherein I had to record a log of my daily activities, but they took me all around the place and the log wasn't a physical item so I couldn't really write down everything as it happened.

Often I would struggle to remember enough even to populate the five daily entries we were expected to fill out.

Once I shamefacedly brought this up to the "rock star" of the team who was held to lower standards, reporting wise, because he got results. I was greatly gratified when he said that sometimes he just logged "I don't remember" for some activities.

i had to know the right questions to ask my wife because we both do the same thing. "which student threw up today" or "who got in a fight with who" tend to elicit the right memories from her workday. we haven't figured out the right ones from mine yet.

I hate when people start saying their year achievements and what they have done and I'm here like... Dude another year? I mean, I slept and woke up most of the days. Sometimes I even ate food or wtv.

Time went by ...

If you woke up at noon you were probably up til 4 the night before. So you've got 11 hours of your day left.
