VTT, thats suchhhhh a perfectionist virgo thing lol 
One of my uncles was had bypass surgery over the weekend and from when they gave him anesthesia, operated, and to when he woke up, there was an entire day which he had no recollection of as he had not been conscious then. He's a virgo...he was ****** off that a whole day had gone by and he had no idea what happened during that day, and they 'wasted his time'. Oh my. lolzIP: Logged |

ROFL! My sun sign was definitely shining through I'm glad it made you guys laugh ! Oh man, there were days at my old job where I would wind up with no work to do, and I'd get so annoyed I'd be like, "Why am I still here!" and then my Taurus boss would give me some more work to do IP: Logged |
