I Also Hc That Gov Workers Are Pretty Formal When It Comes To Nations, They Are Usually Expected To Refer

I also hc that gov workers are pretty formal when it comes to nations, they are usually expected to refer to them by their last names. So there is always a distinction when nations start referring to each other at work by their first names, nicknames, pet names, and new employees are struggling to keep up. 

-leans over and whispers during a meeting- “Wait, who is Mattie?”

“That’s Mr. Williams.”

“Oh…” 

And then they’ll get corrected if they accidentally use the first names.

“So me and Alfred were at this bar when - “

“Jones.”

“…sorry?”

“He’s your nation, private, he was there when the shots fired at Lexington and Concord. We refer to him as Jones.” 

So accurate

Overthinking bros

*INTP and INTJ, standing outside in the rain*

INTJ : Maybe we should move inside...

INTP : Yes, I was actually thinking about it !

*nothing happens, they’re still standing*

INTP : But on the other hand... wouldn't it be a too big energy drain ? I mean... maybe it’s easier to keep standing here, until the rain ends...

INTJ : Hmm... interesting theory, let me think about it...

*both enter into deep meditation, while it’s still raining*

INTP : ...however, maybe you were right : the best solution would be to move inside...

INTJ : Yes... I reached the same conclusion.

*silence. they’re staring absentmindedly at their wet clothes and shoes*

INTJ : So... when do we move ?

INTP : Let me think about it for a moment !

INTJ : Of course, let’s not make hasty decisions.

INTP : Above all, no precipitation, we have all the time !

*it’s now hard for them not to shiver with cold*

INTJ : Maybe... we should really go inside, now ?

INTP : I fully agree, let’s go !

*at the moment they’re starting to move on, the rain stops*

INTP : Ah ? What did I say ? We've almost made an unnecessary movement !

INTJ : Yes. Luckily, we’ve taken the time to think carefully... but now, we’re completely wet.

INTP : It’s very secondary.

poor memory is a huge deal and i wish people wouldn't diminish it by saying "oh yeah i can't remember what i had for breakfast lol."

i can't remember the first 10 years of my life. i can't remember entire days, weeks, months at a time. i can't remember entire people, i can't remember names or faces. i can't remember when things are scheduled for, my calendar app on my phone is booked to the max with reminders and task checklists. i can't remember when i moved into what home when, i can't remember important milestone dates like when i got or lost certain jobs, or when i started a new hobby.

that's what i mean when i say i have poor memory. poor memory is so scary for the person who has it. it's not a quirky thing, everyone forgets small details. memory problems are scary because you can go through entire events or days with no memory, or plan for things in the future that you can't recall ever even looking into or scheduling. it's not a funny haha kind of thing, it's serious, and it affects a lot of people in very unavoidable ways.

not being able to plan for appointments or work schedules, not being able to remember people's names or faces, not being able to recall whether or not you were present for something or whether or not you met someone, not being able to keep track of what's happening on what dates and losing track of items because you can't remember where you put them are all very real problems, and anyone dealing with them deserves to be taken seriously, and not diminished when they choose to speak up about it.

The main reason I am so nice is because people leave me alone faster when the socializing is smooth
