What are you getting for Christmas?

Nothing. I'd just prefer to sleep all day, than actually do anything on Christmas.

Time to get the myterious and highly contagious sickness that 'darn' makes you miss out on all the family-filled 'fun'

LOL@DPQ

I am actually loking forward to seeing some of my relatives.

I hate gatherings in general. I'm terrible at chit chat.

We had a company party at work today and i sat with the other girls. Ok first off the youngest person besides me is stil 10 years older than i am. They babble about their heaters in their house, their kids, their cars. I just sit there stupidty not saying anything because really, i have nothing to say (haha i hear someone out there laughing at the thought of me not shutting up, get over it)

Families gatherings are even worse, they talk about even more boring and useless gossip.

I could do without the useless gossip myself.

I hate smalltalk as well. So I don't do it. Then people think I'm rude because I don't talk enough. People give me a hard time at work all the time about being too quiet. It's really annoying.

I know. And you being a guy and all you get it worse. I'm the only girl in my department so they don't pick on me (thank god)much. I think they feel funny about it
but there this one guy whos queit, and mumbles a bit when he does talk...ohmygod...you never hear the end of it.

Why is it when a girl has a 'problem' all the other girls 'protect' each other, no one really says anything about it or makes a big deal about it. But for guys, you have to mention it atleast 4 times a minute every damn day. lol.

Yeah, I've been working here for like 4 or 5 months, and I still get comments all the time. One guy has to make a comment EVERY time he sees me. He usually says... "Gees Derek, could you quiet down a little?!". Man, that's annoying.

They tell me to shut-up here all the time too....but that's because I never stop talking.

If I work there you can do the talking for both of us then, Matt.
