What bores you?

Squares.

Rhombi.

...rectangles?

what really bores me is endless meetings I have to interpret during which nobody says anything of any real value.... you know the sorts of useless conversations - 'thank you so much for seeing us, we really value your time...' 'oh no thank you for coming to see us, we really value your assistance....' 'yes I'm sure our cooperation will be amazingly successful...' 'of course, as it always was in the past...' blah blah blah now extrapolate to 4 hours of similar blather and you get something really BORING. Also I can't just switch off cuz I have to interpret this rubbish.

hahaha funny ... At least for me I can just sit and space out during those types of meetings ...

yeah that's nice... spacing out doesn't bore me at all... I love car journeys, train journeys, meetings I don't participate in - anything that lets my mind wander from subject to subject... or just sort of fog over... very pleasant. I also love sitting in the shade in the summer and staring at the sea. for hours.

Waking up to something other than the smell of food on a Saturday morning.

Don't you ever get tempted to invent your own conversations during these lame-o meetings? You could potentially change the future just by rearranging a few words. That would be exciting, the opposite of boring.

I do it sometimes, to the degree which will not get me fired. I translate jokes entirely differently for instance. like replacing non-funny ones with funny ones. I change almost all metaphores. sometimes I actually complete sentences when people don't really know what they want to say, or explain things entirely differently if I think the explanation that has been given makes no sense (they often don't)

I often wondered whether it would work to completely invent the content. I guess it could work for a while, but you'd need incredible brainpower to simultaneously make up stuff which will be completely different from what's being said but not raise any unexpected reactions from the other side....

This is a boring comment

yeah well it's really embarrassing when you translate a joke exactly and the guy who told it is waiting for a reaction and the people just blink at you.... so it's just easier to replace them.

The guy who told the joke would probably think you messed it up if it was funny to him but not the others. I like going over to my parents house and asking my mom something, like maybe if she wanted to go somewhere for dinner and she would say to ask dad, so I go to dad and not lie, but not tell the entire truth. I'll say something like mom wants to know where he wants to go for dinner, and he'll say anywhere. So I tell my mom it is ok with dad and we can go to these certain restaurants, and mom picks one, so then I go to dad and say where mom wants to go. I've been doing that for years and every single time I get free food, it works really well.

Yeah, that trick is awesome ... and you can use it on multiple subjects aswell ... not just food ...

heh heh the possibilities.........
