I don't know if anyone would be interested in this, but I just recently got into Zombies, Run!, which is a smartphone app that incentivizes exercise by way of an ongoing storyline and periodic zombie chases. I wrote up a bigass overview on my DWJ: [link]

Consuela, I have friends who use that app, and they've recommended it to me (except I don't run, because of my back; I only walk). Would it work for someone who walks rather than runs?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, I have actual work to do still, and I DON'T WANNA! Bleh.

Because books.
Me, too! (Interested in the zombie running app, I mean.) Although I don't run because my lungs would probably explode within two blocks.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I am constantly surprised when I encounter serious incompetence. I'm about ready to march into another office and give them a lecture about HOW THINGS SHOULD BE DONE. Is it a sign I am an optimist when I am surprised so often?
Or something else.
Is this in the DSM 4?

I think it is a sign of an optimist, and probably a good thing? Especially if you do actually lecture the people!
OK, at least I have one Christmas present purchased.

My dean is telling me not to lecture people. Everyone is on notice: when I hit age 50 (in about 5 years), I will no longer have fucks to give.

Is that the magic age when you can lecture people? I have only four years to go!

Ann, that's a ferret.

In my experience, sadly, no. Your life situation may be different.
