That does sound familiar. Oy.
The show has appeal because it allows people who aren’t astrophysicists or neurosurgeons to be able to ridicule and mock people who are regarding traits they lack, like interpersonal skills, just so they can feel good about the fact they aren’t as smart. It’s the same as yelling, “Four-eyes!” at the nerdy grade school classmate, but for grown-ups.

I even once edited that edited version to take out the awkward pauses between lines, so it flowed more like normal conversation. It just made everybody sound like humorless assholes.
That's not caused by your edit, that's how they always sound. Especially Wool..Wolf...Wolfenstein? I seriously can't remember their names right now. All I've got is Sheldon, Raj (?), David, and Wolfenstein or whatever.
GRAH-I'm lucky my book isn't destroyed, Amazon shipped it with two GIANT bags of coir!
I think that BBT is entertaining and funny.
At the same time, I find it exploitative and, at times, discomfiting to watch, much like a Ben Stiller movie.

The first few seasons were funny. Not hilarious, but funny. It’s run out of interesting material to me at this point and I’ve been over it for years.
A former friend of mine loved it and don’t even get me started on her and that show.

Her hair looked cute short!
However, the fact that her hairstyle is the highlight of the show pretty much says it all.

Up up up, up up. Up, up up up.

I somehow managed to badly burn myself cooking today. Three fingers and the top of my foot. I have no clue how I managed to get my foot.
I had an appointment to see my doctor today for something else and I was able to have him look at my burns. He prescribed cream to prevent infection because I’m particularly susceptible.
The problem is that my fingers haven’t stopped hurting. Every time I remove them from the ice, they burn
Not sure how I’m going to write, type or drive tomorrow.

And I have water hives. Fantastic.
It hurts a lot less today, but the blisters on my hand have gone dark red rather than white. The last few times I burned myself, the blisters were white.
Many times it would seem. Cooking and I don’t always mix it seems.
The blisters have darkened to purple today. I don’t think it’s a good sign.
Don't be surprised if you lose some sensation there, at least temporarily, while it's healing.

A salesperson just went into a "wait stop everything is wrong re-do and re-check everything" panic because he got a couple commercials emailed to him, and he thought they were wrong.
He assumed that one spot would be on the "left," and the other spot would be on the "right."
But because the spot he assumed would be on the left was on the right and vice versa (again, IN HIS E-MAIL where the attachment filenames were truncated), he thought the wrong spots would be running on the wrong days.

He's a kindly old gent but he does everything wrong and makes everything harder for everyone because he struggles with anything that was invented after the rotary telephone.

I had an employee like that at a call center one time. She was the sweetest woman you could ask for - perfect for a customer service role, she could talk down the angriest of screamers. What she couldn't do was keep the companies or their products straight. Or what the difference between a laptop and a desktop was. Or pretty much anything technological. We supported a third-party payment clearing house that supported 23 different software companies' online stores. It was not the job for her.

I hear ya. Most of our sales force is comprised of either past-their-prime seniors who struggle with technology and should have been out to pasture 10 years ago, or completely functionless wastes of carbon who just won't do their jobs.
But that's what you get when you aren't willing to pay for quality. A never-ending merry-go-round of overwhelmed incompetence and apathetic sloth.
The whole area is stiff and hard to move sometimes now.
I’m just hoping that the new colour goes away. It’s gross looking and I feel that it’s pretty obvious. A certain husband of mine doesn’t think it’s too bad.
Your certain husband is probably trying to color-match it to flavors of Kool-Aid.
