You should organise them on a To Don't list.

I seriously found that funny.

Ive been so motivated and organised, but since last week, when the whole family decided they had gastro, I've just lost that motivation. I easily can get overwhelmed when things get out of place and are no longer organised and my mind just shuts down for some reason. It just feels like there is too much to be done and no way of getting caught up. I hate the feeling
 
I'm transitioning in life from caring about situations to seeing what happens if they don't get sorted. I have generally been a waiter 'til the last minute to get absolute focus but I'm turning into a meh.
 
I am laying claim to the idiom Power CC finally making it into Urban Dictionary. I tried to get traction in 2005 for including important people in the CC list of corporate emails, as several people in the company I worked for did it a lot, and finally it returned, in 2012 it seems. (I only checked today.)
 
@reepbot, to answer your question "What do you think the best diet is for losing weight? Serverly restricting bad fats and bad sugars? Along with eating in moderation?"

I pay attention to old 5 food groups. I am a bit of a sugar, carb and fat fiend at times, so if I want to lose weight, running combined with reducing carbs, sugar and fat, and focusing more on meat, eggs, fruit, veg nuts and legumes does the trick for me. Not to say it's necessarily the healthiest way to go, nor in the long term, just what I find works. What about you?

Well replace running with walking and what you do to lose weight is what I did to lose weight.

What about this ad:

It's being pulled after people complained to the Ad Standards Board.

I just saw this ad on TV. Although I totally understand why people would complain about it, I have it admit, it's rather amusing. If it was for women to find men too, the complaints would be fewer.

That's a great name for a modern application of power. i.e. "It's your responsibility so you better get it fixed".

family type of plans? I wish I had plans. I could pretend that i didn't have work to do. Though this place is giving me great reason to further procrastinate.

Nah, friend plans. I got out of two birthdays and a general "hang out" type thing, haha. I just wasn't in the mood to do anything. I haven't really been in the mood to socialise at all in the last few days now that I think about it.

During the Melrose Place Heather Locklear years and prior, the Power Mini [skirt] was ubiquitous so corporate CC list brown nosing seemed like the logical extension. The term became quite popular within the company. I thought it had potential to become widely used, but it didn't seem to.

People at their desks would announce when they were upgrading to Power CC shameless name dropping Mach 10.
 
I love getting out of things when you don't want to go, and I love doing the phantom to leave early.
