Do you often feel that you're missing out because of commitments?

  • in what sense?

    marilyninthesky | 22 Mar '14, 16:20 | X
    • I've got stuff to do so I can't go out and have fun

      -stayed in last night
      -stayed in today

      and this isn't unusual, it's pretty rubbish but my own choice, it's not as bad as it's been in the past to be fair but something made me ask about it on here today.

      foppyish @marilyninthesky | 22 Mar '14, 16:23 | X
      • put it in to perspective

        what takes priority, it's all about balance...maybe if you wrote down a list of everything you have to get done then you could make some time to have fun.

  • I don't have any commitments

    I still do very little

    • and do you feel good for it?

      I look at some of my friends who totally coast along and I think I might be much better off doing that too. I'm so good at doing nothing, I really am.

      foppyish @noise_ramones | 22 Mar '14, 16:24 | X
      • good is too strong a word

        wouldn't say bad either. just a bit ... nothing.

        noise_ramones @foppyish | 22 Mar '14, 17:09 | X
  • Work tends to get in the way quite a bit I find.

    But if I didn't work, I wouldn't have the money to do anything, so I'd still be missing out anyway.

    Basically I need to win the lottery or pull a multi-millionaire.

    • if you do pull a multi-millionaire

      could you sub me some cash?

      fffeargol @blimeycharlie | 22 Mar '14, 16:30 | X
      • Of course.

        blimeycharlie @fffeargol | 22 Mar '14, 16:31 | X
        • cheers pal

          I'd sub you too y'know, I just don't think I have very good chances with rich folk.

          fffeargol @blimeycharlie | 22 Mar '14, 16:42 | X
          • Sadly, I don't think I do, either.

            Wouldn't mind giving it a go, mind.

            blimeycharlie @fffeargol | 22 Mar '14, 16:47 | X

  • I don't have any commitments

    I'm missing out 'cos all my friends are crap and have commitments. I'm wide open guys, come hang out with me plz.

    And have no commitments, I'm bored. Wish I had some commitments to look forward to

  • no commitments

    i live totally selfishly, it's brilliant

    ethricdouble | 22 Mar '14, 16:33 | X
    • ^ this

      it can be brilliant, especially with friends who have now started reproducing but I wouldn't want to live like this forever.

      marilyninthesky @ethricdouble | 22 Mar '14, 16:36 | X
      • I could have rephrased that

        Basically some of my friends/family have started having kids and I feel lucky sometimes when I don't have that.

        Really want a dog though.

        marilyninthesky @marilyninthesky | 22 Mar '14, 16:37 | X
        • Eloquently phrased, yet again.

          marilyninthesky @marilyninthesky | 22 Mar '14, 16:38 | X
        • Lots of my friends

          And my brother have been having kids of late,
          love hanging out with them but happy I don't have that kind of responsibility all the time.

          I'm back home looking after the family dog, still bored though an want something to do.
          All my friends are shit today/tonight

    • I've not got kids

      foppyish @ethricdouble | 22 Mar '14, 16:49 | X
  • I didn't do that much when I didn't have commitments

    and now I have three little FCs under 5 I still don't, but when me and the Mrs have time to ourselves (rarely) we really appreciate it.

    funkycow | 22 Mar '14, 16:44 | X
  • Started realising

    That I should do freelance work somewhere out and about and try and sync it up with others out and about. It's worked well. Means I'll do a couple hours in a cafe then just sort of show up for whatever's going on, albeit sometimes a little late.

    cocodaLOL | 23 Mar '14, 12:25 | X
  • 2 kids here

    But rarely feel like I'm missing out on anything due to commitments. Obviously there's always more things I could be doing but that's always going to be case whatever the situation.

    Although ironically, I did miss out on seeing The Commitments this week as my babysitter got sick.

    • Normally if someone told me that, I'd say they were a bare faced liar

      but you know what outspaced? Call me naive, but I believe you.

      foppyish @outspaced | 23 Mar '14, 14:49 | X
      • Which part?

        Or both parts?

        outspaced @foppyish | 23 Mar '14, 17:08 | X
        • the last part

          foppyish @outspaced | 23 Mar '14, 17:55 | X
  • work curbs a lot of the midweek fun/gigs/etc

    I'm not too bothered about that really though. It moreso stops myself from going to things for the sake of it etc. If there's something I really want to go to, I will surely go.

    I ahve some exams coming up in May so they will most definitely take over a lot of my time from now on.

  • Love being unable to do things due to "other commitments"
