Thank you! I hear this all the time and it drives me nuts! "Omg, I'm sooooOoOooO busy.... I've been working (on my facebook profile) for 10 hours today :sadpandaface:"

I have no problem with posting cat videos to facebook, more power to you, but don't claim that you're busy when your not. My fav is the "I didn't have the time (enter any task here)" forgetting that the two of your are friends on facebook and you can see the 189321983729 icanhascheezburger photos that were shared during the "busy" time.

The most annoying is the 'Staying alive' response when you ask how someone is. Really common from Stanford grads. Basically they are trying to say they are soooooo busy and important. The most successful people I know all get the balance right. They focus and work hard, but also know when to focus on play (and keep them very distinct)
