procrastination
I admit that I am one of those people who tend to procrastinate. One of the things which i have been putting off for a very long time is cleaning my room. this is probably something which i have been putting off for the last 10 years! Yet, there are times when i just can't stand it when people whine about something that they want to do, but yet have not done. I have a friend who told me that she has been wanting to learn German for over 8 years but never got around to doing that till 3months ago. Good for her. Then there is another friend who said she wanted to roller blade but needs to get a pair of skates before that. I was suggesting places where she could go buy them but she keeps coming up with excuses not to do so. i mean, if that is something you really wanted to do, why come up with so many excuses? surely, you can make some time, make some lee way for that?I don't know. I just don't see the point in complaining about something you really want to do but you don't seem to be trying hard to want to do it. its as if complaining about it has become something of a hobby instead.
If you REALLY want to do something, you WILL try very hard to do it instead of just sitting on your ass and talking about it. IF thats is all you are doing, then stop complaining because obviously, you don't want to do it THAT badly.
Maybe, its some sort of human inertia.

Clueless about Subtle conversation
: Hey, shall we make it a point to not use gloves on our microscope?
Y: err.. why don't you ask E first? cos she is the one who is more particular about this...
I went to look for E and asked her
:Hey lets not wear gloves when we use the scope, are you ok with that?
E: ya if everyone agrees, sure.
Me to Y
:E says she is ok with it
Y: but u know, there are some people who never use gloves no matter what...
I think about it...
: so you think we should use gloves? Which means it doesn't matter what E thinks because either way, you would have been concern about the "other people" who's hands are not clean? Why didn't u just say so??
Exasperation! Why make me go speak to E, and to revert to her to only hear that she doesn't agree?
