Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

Is there a medical condition similar to depression but for apathy? My wife claims I'm apathetic to almost everything (outside family) and I find it impossible to be motivated by anyone. Either I'm self motivated or not at all. I also don't find other people inspirational. Ever. I just don't go though highs and lows. Just always steady.

Last time I really got angry at anything was probably 3-4 years ago and it was over something really dumb, like being unable to find something in my closet. Wife thinks I bottle things up, but I really don't think I do. I just don't let most things bother me at all. I asked my brother and he said the name of the condition is that I'm an *** hole. I'd like to think it's more of a chemical imbalance. Thoughts?


Well since you asked for thoughts....

Answer : we're both Tyler Durden

My wife says nearly identical things about me


I think I just like to live a drama-free life. I remove everything that adds drama to my life, or just plain ignore it/avoid it. Anyone else like this as well, or just me?

Hey guys, I figured out what Pants's news was. GTO is putting him on his ignore list.

DH is like that. Also very steady about everything. Probably good, because I'm kinda the opposite. He says I'm more like a roller-coaster.

Sounds more like a chemical balance than a chemical imbalance. I've had a similar conversation with my wife.

On a related note, I went to visit my parents this last weekend. Is anybody else concerned for the well-being of their parents because they are so overly emotional about this upcoming election?
 
Sorting, tossing, filing, archiving and shredding at work.

Found evidence that I was not a total doof as a landscape architect designer guy before I sold out and opted for management. Book on my shelf is "Aesthetic Guidelines for Bridge Design" published by MnDOT and included the pedestrian bridge in Rochester that was based on my original sketch design. Trying to figure whether to save this, toss it or give it someone at work who won't really want it.*

* This is one of my problems today. I have lot of archive stuff that could be good examples and save people lots of time if they have to do something similar but most everyone here is totally uninterested. Seems odd to me because whenever I had a assignment for something I had never done before I generally looked for examples.
