As Chessie pointed out to me the other day, so far the only two objects we have collaboratively made in Second Life are a Lazyboy reclining chair, and a large bed. Obviously Chessie has made hundreds of objects on her own, these are just the two objects that I happen to have been involved with. "Do you see a pattern here?" she asked, innocently ( Read more... )

I would have thought you might have removed the "Anything to Suggest?" button for this post.

hahaha!

actually i have done some investigation on your behalf given this slough of despond into which you appear to be sinking. it is quite simple. apparently you need to stop being a maximiser and become a satisficer instead. also stay well away from supermarkets and pubs which give you too much choice.

these two web links explain it better than i . the first should allow you to discover which type you currently are (it is an australian site so i am sure perthman will approve and it is not a geek-o-meter test as far as i can see):

the second explains the choice meltdown syndrome:

An odd selection of websites to have about your person.

As it turns out I am already a satisficer, apparently. I did answer 'neither agree nor disagree' to all the questions, though, since none of them appeared to relate in any way to my daily life.

I am not in any sort of slough, I just articulate clearly what other people feel only as a dim and unidentifiable discontent.

number1son December 6 2006, 01:52:09 UTC
