    Pretty simple focus: Come clean about one thing you've fibbed, lied, omitted, wtfever you call it, in the last 30 days. If you want to share why you did feel free.

    Worst one ever was I guess more of a terrible excuse than a lie. This kid at my first command was habitually late for work. One day he hit his head pretty good on the side of something. The next day he was late again and his excuse was, "I dunno, my head... I think my subconscious wouldn't let me wake up."

    I just took a late lunch today. Definitely didn't say "fuck it" and stay out fishing in the nice weather longer.

    I tell this tale on a regular basis after someone asks me, "Is this normal?"

    (insert any random medical abnormality/gross shit/stuff I didn't know existed or that people actually lived with)

    "You know....it's not really normal per se, but it's not abnormal or uncommon. I see this pretty regularly."

    Or, "I don't really smell anything."

    "I see this/do this all the time." And inside my head I'm thinking, "What fresh hell is this? What the fuck is that smell?"

    "That is so shitty, I'm really sorry about all that."

    To my roommate's girlfriend last night when she was losing her shit about all her "problems." One of her high school friends is going after her ex-boyfriend (also from high school) AND her agent didn't like her latest audition tape. She literally couldn't even.

    She's a fantastic person, but sometimes she goes full early-20s-white-girl and does a classic "don't give me solutions just LISTEN!!" I gave her a few minutes of sympathy then politely retreated to my room and played GTA 5 for two hours, jerked off, and went to bed. Being single really isn't that bad a lot of the time.

    I've been lying to all of you in here this whole time. I'm actually the actress who played Becky on Roseanne. Not the hot one from Scrubs, the ugly buck-toothed one.

    Took my team out for beers and BBQ for a "developer meeting" that was expensed back to the company.

    We only drank beer and ate good BBQ, no work stuff was talked about at all.

    We were all OK with that.

    For work: "We're still in the solution design phase and we should be able to kick this off soon."

    Translation: our resources have no bandwidth, you've admitted to me that this project is low priority within your business, we haven't put a single second of thought into this useless idea your squeeky-wheel users bombarded you with.

    Personal: "Outfit looks really good, hun"

    Translation: Wear the fucking litter box. I don't care. Let's go. Please, I'm begging you, move your ass and don't change your stupid shoes again. No one cares. Your boobs are huge. No one even knows you have feet, not even our female friends.

    Who wouldn't be? However it could be "work stuff" by enhancing worker bond by getting a buzz on.

    I lied the other day at my job when I said I thought the front office estimator was a "good guy". He's a lying hack who took a community college math classes and calls himself an engineer every five minutes. Really? An engineer? Do you even know what they do and what they're capable of? So, when asked about him I lied because I need not stir the pot at my new job which I like so far.

    No matter the work environment you are going to have That Guy who is always going to one-up every else with their horseshit. The best are the dummies who pull the absolutely impossible out of their ass. I had a guy once many years ago say he had escaped prison, ran cocaine for the cartels in Ft. Laudie, a stable of hookers, every single smooth-ass criminal shit you can think of this guy was Superfly TNT.

    Yes, this paunchy, broke, cracked-out loser roofer who couldn't even afford cigarettes was a only five years ago grandiose underworld entrepreneur. It was amusing to listen to him pull these half-cocked fight and party stories out of his ass.

    I just lied today. "Pharma sales marketing is really interesting to me because the FDA guidelines really create a defined space for creativity."

    It's been years since I've told any type of lie.

    It's not... you just didn't use the tag correctly, and didn't open with a square brace.

    Nope. Before if I clicked on the filmstrip icon or picture icon, nothing happened. And, if I manually typed the media with braces, it just left it blank. So, I changed the braces to try to and show it - which then worked, but I still couldn't click on the icons. But, whatever it was, it's working correctly now. I have since rebooted my computer, so I guess it was just me.
