Oh Hell…Another TUII?!


I really ought to think things through more…

….I seem to find myself in trouble more often than I like.

Hmm…perhaps I should suspend my decision making ability temporarily. Like getting a DUI for thinking…

We’ll call it “thinking under the influence of irrationality” or TUII for short.

How do you know you’re at risk of a TUII?
· The inability to withstand aggravated looks towards coworkers who just can’t seem to stop pissing you off.
· Failure to maintain focus while running at high speeds on a slightly unstable treadmill because your head is flooded with ideas of what you “should have done” or “should have said”.
· Three or more of your very close friends thought you hated them when they first met you; one of which had a powder brush chucked at her within forty minutes of the introduction.
· Your roommate swears you’re drunk every time you come home from work or the gym.
· You’re mom lives less than five minutes away and you haven’t seen her for four weeks, in which you blame anything and everything.
· People come into your office and you just stare impassively at your computer in hopes they will see that you’re busy and go away…even though you’re really watching season one of Dexter on Netflix.com.

There are just a few…you get the idea.

The consequences of a TUII are of course having your decision making ability suspended for sixty days and paying an unbearable amount of restitution in terms of humility and questionable mental soundness for at least three years (or until people forget).

Not such a bad idea. Who wants to volunteer to be my PO?
