        Wouldn't happen. A Swiss Cheese corpse, in front of the elevator doors, would definitely be disregarded as just another S.E.P. except for the deceased being exceptionally rude for impeding access to the elevator. People might actually have to bother themselves with stepping *around* some poor, aerated chap that has now assumed room temperature. S/He's in a hospital and, so, should have gone to the emergency department before dying! The inconsiderate dolt!

          A woman came into my work a few times, she's as sweet as can be, she spends loads of money (which is good for business and whether she can afford to do that is her business so that's nice)
          But I get super chatty with the customers, and she opens up easily. We got to talking about my art and before she left one day I gave her my business card for my freelance thing and she interpreted it as a friend invite type thing and was like "K LET'S HANGOUT!"
          So I'm all O.o faced.
          A few weeks go by and she came back in today, spent some more money and again before she left she asked if I was serious about hanging out.
          And I felt super cornered because she's such a good customer, and I feel like she needs the company so I ended up saying yes and mentioning getting coffee...
          And MEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I don't want too (/hermit, when I'm not at work, all I do is play video games and draw XD Not super fond of going out)
          But I feel so guilty and I'm just a selfish ass ._. /can't deal.

            So we convince the first fifty to try and mob rush the turrets. When they're all dead then deactivate the turrets and put together a nice barricade of the dead before reactivating the system. Hopefully being forced to literally climb over a mini wall of the dead will discourage casual attempts on the elevator.

              I have similar problem, so I do NOT carry business cards! I also never show anyone my artwork, so that is another issue entirely

                  Haha, if it makes you feel any better, today I've: gone to the gym and worked out in yoga pants, gone grocery shopping and carried it all home in a backpack, and cooked (here's the kicker) ...I just finished making lentil-pumpkin puree soup, homemade gluten free, lactose free quinoa veggie burgers, and I'm about to start on some gluten free muffins for breakfast tomorrow. I still have plans on cleaning my kitchen, and working on my BoS too.

                  We're BOTH that chick. Yuppee food is awesome, and organized stuff is awesome too.

                    I do feel a little bit better, though I hate yoga pants out of the sheer fact every dancer wore them when I was in school.

                      Re: THE RANT THREAD!

                      Fair warning: this rant is kind of long, but I need to vent.


                      I've been thinking about my family. My mom (actually my grandmother, but she raised me, so she's mom to me) is the only member of my family to give a crap about me. The rest of my family doesn't seem to remember that I exist half the time. Here are examples:

                      ● If a relative calls, they always want to talk to my mom, never me. If I answer the phone, they can't even be bothered to at least ask how I'm doing before asking for her.

                      ● Every time a relative has left a message on our answering machine, they always direct the message to her. They call sometimes just to see how things are, and they always ask how she's doing and if she needs anything. It's like I'm not even in the same household. She doesn't live by herself, people.

                      ● When Mom and I have gone to visit them, I have been outright ignored. I have tried to participate in conversations only to get talked over as if I wasn't even saying anything. They always act like what I have to say is boring to them.

                      ● They have never acknowledged my birthday. I'm not looking for presents (couldn't care less, really), but a call to say "happy birthday" would be nice. Especially when I know for a fact that they acknowledge my cousins' birthdays (anywhere from just saying "happy birthday" to presents to just doing something with them).

                      ● Most recent event is that they called my mom to say they were taking her out to lunch for her birthday. At least three or four (or more) relatives going. Didn't say anything about me going. Now I'm not looking for a free lunch, but it would be nice to be included in the little celebration they've got going for my mom's birthday. During a later phone call, my aunt asks if I'm coming, too. Why would I go? I wasn't invited; no one talked to me to invite me. I'm not the kind of person to just invite myself. When my aunt asked this, she asked my mom, she still didn't talk directly to me. My mom told her she didn't know. My aunt tried to act as if they all just figured I would come along. Well, I'm making the decision not to, since it's obvious they don't really want me there, since they still never really outright invited me. I don't go where I'm not wanted.

                      ● When my brother got married, no one said anything to me. Now, mind you, this is one instance where they didn't say anything to my mom either, but that's rare that she's not told about something. I didn't even know until after he was married. Now I'm not real close to my siblings, but we get along fine. You would think someone would have said, "Hey, we need to invite your sister and grandmother." But no, I didn't know about it until at a gathering and get told that this woman is my sister-in-law and these three boys are my step-nephews.

                      ● A few relatives tried making me out to be a black sheep in the family some years back. Saying all sorts of nasty things; trying to make it seem like I was mooching off my mom (when, in reality, their own son was mooching off them). They even got my aunt involved. And she decided it was okay to say something nasty towards me concerning the situation the day after my dad (grandfather) died.

                      I know after my mom passes away (hopefully not for a long, long time), my family (term used extremely loosely) will forget about me. And I'm a bit of a loner (no friends), which means that other than seeing my coworkers at work, I'm pretty much going to be alone. Geez, my potential future kind of sucks.
