> At the risk of sounding not only boring but also stupid, what is DH (designated husband? dumb human?)?
Not a dumb question, Wendy! DH= "dear husband" (or dumbass, or decrepit, or discouraging, or any number of other things depending on the day), I post on a MIL (=mother-in-law) board a lot, and tend to transfer the lingo too much. I almost referred to my husband as "DH" in a phone conversation with my sister - clearly, too much of my human contact is taking place on-line!
> being bored by my own problemsSign me up ...
>but I'm not the type who often uses the word "bored,"same here - I just get bored by uninteresting persons who insist they're hot stuff. well, deep depression kills interest in pretty much everything for me. but in a 'normal' or only somewhat depressed state (which is still clinical, severe depression, say the dox) I have too many interests. so much to learn.
> "Well, how many hours do you have?"Good one. People tend to come to me with their dumb problems though ... the scientist who wailed on and on about the movers ripping the top on his convertible ... so I told him about my father's illness, and he quit swinging by my office, and nervously said a brief hi when he had to walk by. Ha.
>None of us depressed types really does well with regular office work, though. 9 to 5 is a killer of souls...
yeah unfortunately as soon as I get a job, it'll be more like 7 - 7, to get going and recognised and paid, and the world's in a slump, and where I am there's a standard 6-month trial period, in which either party can cancel, and you're paid much less that what you'll get if you're eventually hired, and employers do take advantage of that for cheap(er) labour.
>Boring is what we're afraid of becoming.
I dunno, I wouldn't mind the stability a lot of bores seem to enjoy! I don't think I'm in danger of becoming boring ... but I'm sure I've convinced people I find boring (party types) that I'm the dullest nail in the box.
