Someone left a big box of holiday chocolates on the table that I walk past several times a day, and there's, like, nobody in the office this week.

Yeah, and then go post in the Raves thread instead!I hope you're doing the sensible thing and not letting them go to waste!
Speaking of channels... this guy who does reaction videos to Canadian culture and history videos has been trying some chocolate bars and chips that some viewers sent him. Here's a question to the Americans here: Do you seriously not have either dill pickle or bacon-flavored potato chips?
It was a) an Xmas party and b) an office party. Did you expect two negatives to make a positive somehow?Office Xmas party sucked.

Is it just me, or does the Quote function barely work anymore when you use it certain ways?CTV} <break /> An American father-son duo drove for two days in an old army Jeep just to buy ketchup chips in Canada last week.<break /> [/quote said:
Well, if it were possible, you could PM it to me. Chocolate is my favorite junk food in winter (unless it has nuts in it).Alright, [goshdarn] it, I'll have another piece of chocolate.
It gets weird sometimes, and the best way to handle that is to toggle BBCode and do it manually.Considering that

So it was a nice compliment, but I'd only seriously consider it if I didn't have to actually appear myself. So far the only people I've ever interacted with online who have ever seen me are the few who know me from way back, pre-FB.
I guess that lets out asking Maddy to do it for me.You needn't appear on camera, but there's no real substitute for a human voice in videos.
How bad did it suck to make it rant worthy. Tell all !
Have you ever talked to a therapist about your situation?Look, I understand that I'm socially incompetent. I don't mean to put people off, but most of the time I do anyways. Still, I've been working in this place for 8 years. And I feel like I've really put an effort into approaching my coworkers and trying to have conversations and have at least some social contact.
Yet when there's time, and an opportunity to socialize, it goes on all around me and never touches me. I can go days without anyone saying more than good morning to me if it's not a strictly work conversation. I am part of exactly zero of the social circles that exist at my work. And I really feel that I tried. But if I don't initiate or insert myself into a conversation, then no one ever thinks to include me.
Don't trust them.Have you ever talked to a therapist about your situation?
A symptom of your social skills problem? Might the "riskiness" and effort be worth it if you found improvement?Don't trust them.
When I was a kid I was burned hard by horsehockey therapists. Never got over it.A symptom of your social skills problem? Might the "riskiness" and effort be worth it if you found improvement?
Keep in mind that was years ago and I assume someone else choose for you. As an adult you can interview several and then choose. In addition, nowadays, the skill sets are more varied as are the solutions. You should give trying again some thought. What would you lose except perhaps a bit of money?When I was a kid I was burned hard by horsehockey therapists. Never got over it.
That sucks, I’m sorry.Look, I understand that I'm socially incompetent. I don't mean to put people off, but most of the time I do anyways. Still, I've been working in this place for 8 years.

We have those as well. But we also have:No, we have the correct flavors such as barbecue, salt and vinegar, or sour cream & onion.
