There are three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't. My sister, who lives far away and has an important and mysterious job, introduced me to another system of classification, which she undoubtedly lifted, without attribution, from some other source. Everything and everyone, she explained, is either boring or annoying.
So, which one are you? Boring or annoying?
Now, this is no place for temporizing. I'm not looking for something like: "Well, sometimes I'm kinda boring, but not really. And other times, I guess some people might get the impression that I'm tiny bit annoying. But on the whole, I think that I'm a good combination of the two and you could even say that, actually, I'm quite interesting and charming." No, no, no. Be bloody, bold and resolute. Pick an unflattering adjective and wave it like a flag.
Are you boring or are you annoying? I'll go first. I'm boring.
Note to lurkers: Y'know, this only requires a one-word answer. I'm just saying.

If you're all so boring, how come I read your blogs?

Very definitely annoying, and far too easily annoyed, something I'm trying to work on but why oh why are there so many stupid people in this world??

Aite: Actually, even before you posted this, I was going to say that, in fact, I'm planning to have a Lurker Appreciation Day in the near-to-middle future. Which is one of the reasons that I'm trying to get a sense of who's out there.

Me: boring.
Until now, I only knew the computer scientist version of your counting joke: there are only 10 kinds of people, those who know binary and those who don't. I'm such a geek.

I've been dreaming up a post on almost this exact topic for the last week or two - if all jobs are either boring or stressful, which kind would you rather have?
I pick stressful - probably because I am boring.
