Priorities

Drax · 08-12-2007, 04:54 PM

Are you likely to change them based on your situation?

yesman065 · 08-12-2007, 05:13 PM

yes, some of them - of course there are things one may not be willing to compromise on.

Drax · 08-12-2007, 05:17 PM

I know. Hence the "depends on the situation" option.

lumberjim · 08-12-2007, 05:50 PM

no. NO. NO. NO

once you set a priority, it can never be changed. EVER..... you hear me? Never ever change it. EVER. EVERRRRRRRrrrr

PAH!

I think your question is too vague, sorry, because there are BIG priorities, and little priorities.

Call them goals, or life views, but the big ones tend to stay constant once we get into adulthood. Can they change? Sure. Should they change, if circumstances warrant? Absolutely, in my view. I'm not honestly sure what "situations" you are considering, since there's not much to go on here, but handling change well is a valuable life skill, and we should be able to change, if need be.

Obviously the "little" priorities are changed more often. One's priorities on a lazy Saturday will be different from a hectic Monday at work.

no cloud. no.

never change them

ever

never ever

lumberjim · 08-12-2007, 08:08 PM

your 1st priority should be to beat 567.2

xoxoxoBruce · 08-12-2007, 08:39 PM

So if your priority was to pick up a latte for Jinx on the way home, and you walked in on an armed robbery, you wouldn't change your priority to getting your ass out of there alive?

Clodfobble · 08-12-2007, 08:42 PM

Whoa dude, have you ever seen jinx without her latte? I've heard she kills for those things!!

lumberjim · 08-12-2007, 08:45 PM

dum dum dum dummmmmmmmm

xoxoxoBruce · 08-12-2007, 09:03 PM

Don't change the subject, you'd change your priority, wouldn't you? You'd let Jinx suffer latte withdrawal to save your ass, you selfish bastard.

Priorities change all the time.

I change my priorities at work all the time. Sometimes things come up and they have to take precedence over things that previously were my top priority.

The same thing happens at home. I might know exactly what I want to achieve on a given day, but sometimes, things don't go according to plan. My priorities change.

531.1, 519.6, 578.7 and it only took me like 45 mins of beating on the poor penguin.

Really. Sometimes, a friend can turn out to be just a con artist.
