Red-Handed Jill Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 ^ Yep - on a few occasions. < When I was in high school, a group of us were in an English Lit class and we were reading a rather boring book.

CrazyCholeBlack Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 ^ No I can usually figure out *how* I got there, it's the why that sometimes escapes me. < The rule is, don't get me chatting when I'm driving anywhere near my home town. More often than not I end up on auto pilot and you never know where that means we'll end up. V do you have an auto pilot?

Capt. Sterling Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 ^ not really forget where I was going, just not paying attention and end up at some place I habitually drive, like work, church or a certain store, instead of the place I meant to go < one more test day... already getting a sunburn from all the kick ball games in between...maybe this job isn't so stressful after all...

The Chapman Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 ^ Me? Politically correct? No. > Well, kind of. I don't use racial slurs in conversation, if that's what you mean. My co-workers do, particularly in regard to Hispanic people, and it bugs me. So maybe I am. I get sick of macho posturing and sexual invective on the job, and actually prefer to work around women.
