Details of your incompetence do not interest me

GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF TIME MOST OF US SPEND ON THE COMPUTER ON A DAILY BASIS, IT IS EASY TO AMASS A LARGE COLLECTION OF PEEVES RE: INTERNET ETIQUETTE. I FIND SOME PEOPLE BASICALLY INTOLERABLE VIA THE W.W.W. AND MUST INTERACT WITH THEM IN PERSON TO REMEMBER WHY I EVEN LIKE THEM.
I am laughing…all-caps is funny. While I’m at it:Â Y-O-U-R means your. Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E means YOU ARE.
Well this is fascinating. Let’s move along.
Speaking of annoying people, here are some ways to enjoy some humor at the expense of others – I’ve picked my faves from the list:
- If you have a glass eye, tap on it occasionally with your pen while talking to others.
- Make beeping noises when a large person backs up.
- Finish all your sentences with the words “in accordance with prophesy.”
- As much as possible, skip rather than walk.
- Sing along at the opera.
Now, I found this interesting. Probably because mine is so spot on, but the people I’ve shared it with have found it to be at least somewhat relevant. Even if you scoff at astrology (and I wouldn’t  if I were you), you should look because you just might learn something about yourself, especially when you see how perfectly fitting mine is: (Best careers for your zodiac sign)
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Key traits: Quick-witted, clever, adaptable, indecisive. You multi-task well and get bored easily so it’s hard to focus on the same project for long periods of time.
Best careers: Media, advertising, marketing, journalist/writer, delivery/driver.
Careers to avoid: Serious or mundane jobs that are extremely detail-oriented.
I LOVE driving around!!! I would happily drive P Diddy’s Maybach around for my full-time job – I’d even drive his 16 year old son’s Maybach around. And I’ve just started a new job in media…they mentioned my ADHD…I am horrible at decision-making, I am awkwardly at ease in any situation, Â and I am always doing lots of things at once. Right now, for instance, I am not only writing this post, but I am choosing photos for a new hotel site (job), doing laundry (personal), texting (social), updating my Filofax (responsible), and uploading tunes (musical). Case.in.point.
TGIT!

also from list of how to tick people off:
20. TYPE IN UPPERCASE.(dose of YOUR own med BBT)
21. type only in lowercase.
#27 is just stupid….Ask people what gender they are. That one will NEVER go over well. It won’t tick anyone off….it’ll get your ass kicked.
