Parents are burning me out lately. They seem to nag me CONSTANTLY. I've noticed that even when I do whatever the hell it is they're nagging me about, they start nagging me about something new almost immediately. Therefore it's totally ineffective as a motivational factor. It doesn't even work from a "I'll do it just to shut them up" factor.
If anything it has the opposite of the effect they are going for. I'm often so burned out from dealing with their nagging that I don't feel like doing things (like looking for work). I am looking for work(and in fact plan to increase my looking tomorrow (due to a non-nagging related revealation I made on my own this evening)assuming they don't burn me out again first), which is their primary nag right now. If I do get a job, I'm sure they'll find something else to nag me about almost immediately but there's not much I can do about it. At least not until I move out on my own.
Maybe that's the REAL purpose of their nagging. To encourage me to move out of my own. If so, it's a pretty effective strategy (although I doubt I'll be moving out on my own anytime soon unless I find a good full-time job somewhere).
Defunct Word of the Day: I've decided to axe DWotD. It just can't be bothered finding a new source for words. I will replace it with another otD feature though so as to keep me updating every day. Tune in tomorrow to see what 'exciting' new feature I add!
