I’m planning on a ̶M̶a̶r̶k̶e̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ Management Consultancy major and an ̶A̶d̶v̶e̶r̶t̶i̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶D̶e̶s̶i̶g̶n̶ Life Insurance Sales minor […] It’s got a strong focus on ̶”̶n̶e̶w̶ ̶m̶e̶d̶i̶a̶” hairdressing and telephone sanitisation, which will come in handy with ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶W̶e̶e̶k̶l̶y̶ ̶K̶n̶o̶b̶ Ark Fleet Ship B.
Golgafrinchan Studies … got it.
Is the course so cheap because you got a part-exchange rebate on your soul?
Nah … good for you. I’m sure you’ll do well and will be able to put it to good use somewhere — even ethical enterprises need marketing and advertising, right?
I think you misunderstood me. It’s not “yes, I will do this thing for you that you should be able to do yourself.” It’s “Yes, I will use you asking if you can have a sandwich as an excuse to get away from my desk and make the sandwich for you” — Which of course encourages them to ask more often.
So you’re:
- using them
- encouraging them to become dependent
- encouraging them to become couch potatoes
- abusing them thrice over as a result
You’re looking more and more like marriage material by the minute, I gotta say. Anything else you’d like to put in your dating profile? Spot of Münchhausen's by Proxy perchance (Salmonella sandwiches, that kind of thing)?
This whole train of thought was not completely serious.
You do, indeed, appear to have taken my blatant teasing a tad too much to heart, yes.
But, you’re a mother and, therefore, neurotic, so it’s not your fault the first thing to cross your mind wasn’t “Where does he get off telling me how to raise my kids!?” but rather a panic-stricken “Oh, no, am I a bad mother?” … it’s perfectly normal — pathetic … but normal 😉
Slack time is the only time to take serious. Any other time, you are not irreplaceable. But no one else could slack for you in your stead.
I forget how long ago it was that I suggested people might like to consider funding me to be me … because I’m exceptionally good at being me … in return for which they’d get to spend time with me being me and, as being me entails having a lot of fun, they would have a lot of fun as a result.
I mean, I do kinda have that going on, but it doesn’t pay enough in and of itself — moreover, I’m pretty sure I’d like it to pay a lot more than it does, even if it did.
I still keep coming back to my 2 favorite games, specially as I got older and gaming time got more scarce. There’s no new mechanic to learn, nothing to get the hang of, like slipping into comfy old pajamas, it’s just a comfortable good time.
Mmmmm … häuslich too — that’s appealing.
How do you think you would like to phrase it?
Something along the lines of
“Predictable housebody likes routine; seeking undemanding social-media-widower because it’s what everyone does, isn’t it? Fish for dinner on Fridays. Sex every eighth weekend (circumstances permitting) — will sigh listlessly, if it’ll get you off me quicker, so I can get back to my blog).”
… ? ¹
Besides, before I pick up a new (old) game I need to beat a They Are Billions Peacefull Lowlands survival map game on 60% difficulty
I wouldn’t expect anything else of you 😜
I always get to the last day but I just can’t hold the line.
[Note to self: don’t call her stubborn — compliment her dogged tenacity and determination to see things through … no matter how long it takes, no matter how ̶p̶o̶i̶n̶t̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ minor the task].
