I ate some sandwiches today that I made for work on Monday knowing that all during the day they were left out and not put back into the fridge by my housemate until Monday night.

Judging by a lot of the comments on the forum, about finances, business arrangements, investments, looking for contracts etc, I have come to the suprising conclusion that I am risk-averse.

I'm averse to Risk. It takes far too long to play and there's always an argument about how many armies you get at the start of each turn.
