Oh, months! When lots of other things are happening, it just doesn't occur to you at all. I first got told about it about 12 years ago now!

Ohhhhh I really really don't like you very much Lady!

GreenEyesandHam · 15/07/2011 22:39

I literally don't have the first fucking clue what you're all talking about.

But kudos to you all for making me feel like a loser anyway.

Grin

Be off with you all!

Bohica · 15/07/2011 22:43

Oh thanks for this, I have a new job & I'm really feeling the pressure.

I'm going to hide this thread now & only come back when I have lost Grin

Just in case you're not able to access the wiki link Lady thoughtfully posted GreenEyes,

'The Game is a mental game where the objective is to avoid thinking about The Game itself. Thinking about The Game constitutes a loss, which, according to the rules of The Game, must be announced each time it occurs. It is impossible to win most versions of The Game; players can only attempt to avoid losing for as long as they possibly can.'

I really hope that helps Grin

GreenEyes amd Bohica - It really is nothing to be serious about, Just a giggle really.

Please don't be sad, feel pressured! Sad

No no no the distraction of the game will be light hearted & hopefully take away my knot of anxiety over work.

Especially as one of my team likes to say "game on" every time I hand him his payslip Grin

too late, i just lost 10 mintues ago when someone on my FB lost. are you here???

GreenEyesandHam · 15/07/2011 22:52

I clicked Agent. I failed to see the point Grin

I'm a loser aren't I? I clicked, and I didn't get it Sad

This is why my mother was on Facebook before I was, and regularly explains bits of it to me Sad.

There is no hope.
