    Taking a 4.5 day weekend may have been a bad idea. I have lost my patience with the stupid around here. I have a coworker who was complaining that there's no coffee in one of the break rooms.

    Me: is there no coffee in the supply closet?
    Jane Doe: I don't know. I didn't look.
    Me: (goes to closet, brings back coffee, dumps in drawer) Problem solved.

    Seriously? You're an adult. You have children. And you can't open a closet door to see if there's coffee in it?

    OMG! That's so redonculous! I would have been so melodramatic about the stupidity.

    Yay someone else who says redonculous!

    Weird confession/query.

    I struggle to keep faces in my mind until I have known someone a good while. If your face is in your profile pic, I've probably got it, but otherwise I 'assign' you another face in my head. It can be someone I already know, or a celebrity. I don't like people to be faceless just because I have a crappy memory.

    If I've not seen your face, I do this by default. If I have seen your face, it can take me several times to accept the real you in my mind.

    Does anyone else do this?

    Oddly I like to draw, and my favourite thing to draw is faces. So it's not like I'm oblivious to faces!

    I’m kind of the same. I’m more likely to remember a face than a name. If Danny asks if I remember someone, he has to explain the situation when I last saw/ met them and I’ll try and picture their face. Or if it’s an actor he has to tell me what I’ve seen them in and then I’ll be able to picture them. Also I’ll recognise someone and I’ll know the character name, but not the real name.

    Even though I do know your face, I have to think about it first because I picture your logo first. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t recognise you in the street though. I would recognise POF though, I’ve seen you twice in real life! You’re re embedded into the grey matter now :)

    My house flooded this morning -_- luckily the upstairs is fine but 6 inches of water downstairs and we spent the morning trying to push it out the door with brooms.
    FUN TIMES.
    I managed to eat like a semi-normal person yesterday, so trying for today too.

    Oh, no! That's awful.

    Good job on the eating!

    Confession:

    I keep the calories on my diary high (1930) (close to my TDEE) so I don't go over that often. I'm not gaining weight and I've stayed static (within a couple pounds) for months, a year maybe(?). Maybe I'm in maintenance now. I'm worried about changing anything because I don't want MFP to freak out and mess up all my macros. Which don't really matter because I haven't been hitting them anyway.

    I've been on here for 4 years. You'd think I'd be further along than I am and slightly know what I'm doing.

    At least you have had some kind of consistency. I have been here at least that long and still feel like I don't know what I am doing. Mine is totally lack of commitment and consistency. Lapses in application.

    Been there so I feel your pain. Glad you kept the eating in line. Better than I did, for sure.

    Can we make requests? I would like my face to be a young Geena Davis, please.

    Ooooh good choice! I'll try and remember that... I have your face quite well remembered. And your butt. :lol:

    Kind of. This year we had a new employee named Anne Marie. We knew she was coming for two weeks. I mentally assigned her your picture. And when she got here, she looked like you with longer hair.
    I do try to get close if I pick a celebrity. There's a girl at my church (a teenager) who looks like Audrey Hepburn. I can never remember her actual name and my son gives me such a hard time about it. She says, "oh, no, I am fine being known as Audrey Hepburn."

    Actually, she's from Quebec. She has a French last name. It's very very odd. Although, she's getting more sleep than internet Anne-Marie right now. No new baby at her house.

    I do actually have a doppelganger. A friend of mine was convinced he saw me at some random music festival until he spoke to her and realised it wasn't me. I wish he'd gotten a photo!

    So quik, I've more or less got your face in my head, but at first you were Catherine zeta Jones, which ain't bad!

    Patricia looks like my aunt Genevieve, who is also a runner. She doesn't actually of course!

    Soul looks like Hermione! Not Emma Watson, my own imagined version when I read the books. There is a whole hp association going on from our joint pretend efforts at language revision.

    Mo, I can remember you cos of profile pics, but at first you were a bit like Annie Lennox, also not bad!

    Mel is also easy because profile pic.

    I think I need to follow Spamarie's example and just work on the veg portion of my healthy eating. I am good at protein consumption, but suck at the veg part. Baby steps.
    I managed to push myself on my first work out back and set myself back a week with DOMS. Ever have it so bad that your muscles all feel bruised and hurt when people touch you? Just now getting to the point I can walk with out pain.

    *hugs*

    Hoping your pain has subsided!

    I know I need to get back on track with my eating!

    Like you I need to try to incorporate more veggies in my diet & cut back on the mindless snacking/binging around my period.

    Today so far I had a protein bar for Breakfast & four servings of cereal with Greek yogurt for lunch.

    This could be my face.

    A customer stopped dead in their tracks the one day & told me I had to Google this name, because I looked so much like her.

    tatiana-as-anna1.jpg?w=595

    & the day the customer said I looked like the girl from Dirty Dancing. I knew he meant the crazy sister bwahahahahahaha!

    When I was thinner, I was always told I looked like Nigella Lawson. I think it was the dark hair and high cheek bones.
