Clearly either she's a ninja, or you were making a lot of noise in that bathroom.

Very rude of @Squidleybits not to say hello.
My wife caught me cheating.
On my diet.
In my defense, I was having a frustrating day and that cupcake was on sale.
Chocolate and chocolate chip, with vanilla frosting.We all have those days.
What kind of cupcake?
Seductive. I'd hit it.
I don't like cupcakes.
They're basically just little cakes, but more dry. And I don't like cake.
Especially not chocolate cake. And especially not with chocolate chips.
If I ever find myself in possession of such a nasty thing, you guys are free to come get it. First come first served

I am not a fan of "forced" socializing with coworkers. I will never understand why coworkers want to spend more time together outside of work. So far, I have been able to avoid it, but I know that it will look bad if I never go to after work stuff.
I find it funny that you think the weasels would leave you any red meat to throw. Or cupcakes. Or fingers.

Oh yeah, I hear ya. I work less than 2 miles from home, and it used to be very nice to go home for lunch and come back in a much better mood.

It depends on who's waiting for you when you get there.
Even with the drive only being 5 minutes, there was many a time it was torment to have to come back to work.

For the sake of my mental health, I'm going to try something: leave my gaming PC off all week. Instead of sitting in front of it all the time, I'll try doing other things.
I'm realizing I have an addiction to video games and find I spend far too many unhealthy hours playing them, especially when I'm severely depressed.
Part of me is tempted to sell my gaming rig and maybe my PS4 (I only bought it for Spider-Man and I platinum'd that already.
I could use the money to buy a new laptop to maybe get back into writing. I've been considering getting one of those hybrid laptop/tablet things or maybe a Microsoft Surface Pro.

Honestly, I think giving yourself a break is a great idea. It can be addictive and if your find yourself spending more time with gaming than doing the things you need to do, you're making an excellent, smart choice.
I can see how if the rest of your life is being difficult, the easy escapism and quick mood uplift that gaming (usually) provide can become, well, Skinner Box levels of rewarding.

Yup. A friend of mine (who funny enough works for a mobile game dev in the U.K.) describes it as the idea of "fake rewards" or "fake accomplishments."
It FEELS like you're accomplishing something and it activates something in that part of your brain, but it's fabricated.

My previous laptop that I bought in 2007 still works, it's just sitting on my shelf doing nothing. You can have it if you want.
