Paid for an express delivery to have something here on or before NYE and it still hasn't arrived. Sent an email today asking the company where it was. No reply yet which is fine, but they have already sent me out a customer service satisfaction survey.

I went to an co-worker's adult toy party before Christmas and got myself a present. Everyone else got theirs over a week ago but mine was never delivered. I called the hostess up and the tracking number said it was sent to my house on the 21st.

Someone stole my vibrator off my porch and now my co-workers won't stop heckling me about calling the Dildo Police. :(

My pipes are frozen and it's weird because it was way colder earlier this year and they didn't freeze then. Also I'm going to have to pull down walls to get at them and I thought I was done with renovations for a while :mad:

My parents are telling me I have to go in to work even though the county we live in has ordered no one to leave their house unless absolutely necessary due to emergency weather conditions. Living with your parents is cheap but it sucks rear end some times.

It's so cold here in Chicago that the pipes in my bathroom froze and there is a plug of ice coming up out of my tub's drain. Also, we have to fill the toilet tank with scalding hot water to flush it manually until the weather warms up and everything thaws. My apartment maintenance guy wants to cut a hole in my bedroom wall to access the pipes and take a blowtorch to them to melt the ice.

Your apartment maintenance guy sounds like an idiot. Using a blowtorch is a great way to set your apartment on fire.


My FWP is having to wait a week for my doctor to get the results from the X-ray I had yesterday. I want to know what's wrong with me now!

I know, we're going to call the main office tomorrow and tell them about it before he's allowed to do anything. We've told them for months the guy is an incompetent moron, maybe they'll finally listen this time. In the meantime, I should call some friends and see if anyone has a shower I can borrow soon.

Blowtorching frozen pipes is an easy way to accidentally desolder your pipes or blow them up in your face.

Rapidly heating up ice in a pipe couldn't possibly result in anything like that.

Anyway, I don't have any socks to wear till after I do my laundry.

My manager asked me to cover his open today and I had no problem.

I got here at 6 because that's when I thought we opened.

Turns out they changed the open time to 7 and I forgot he told me that.

Now to sit in the dark for an hour!

Good news! They sent an actual plumber... but he still had to cut a big hole in my bedroom wall to replace the pipes. They put in a new drywall panel and said that another crew would be back to tape it up, paint over it, and even shampoo my carpet because they tracked in slush while going back and forth, but it's been two days and nobody's called or showed up yet. It's pretty annoying having half of my bedroom shoved to the side while waiting on their asses.

I was flying home from winter break, and they unloaded my luggage in London because they thought I'd miss my connecting flight. All my clean clothes and hygeine items were in there and I'm not getting it until tomorrow. :mad:

I also caught a cold, and found out that flying while congested can be pretty awful.

edit: I was literally on a plane a month ago and completely forgot about it. Travelling one province over doesn't count apparently.

I did that once and despite the special earplugs, the only time I heard anything out of my left ear for the next month was when on the flight back home when we were over 30000 feet.

I got a Keurig K-cup coffee maker for Christmas. I already have a drip coffee maker and so I only planned on using the Keurig for specialty drinks like Cider, hot chocolate, the occasional flavored coffee. Since the little cups/packs/refills whatever are so expensive. But that company knows what it's doing. It came with a few coffee packs in the box and now I'm hooked on how easy and fast it is to make a cup of delicious coffee. I ran out of the provided coffees and instead of using my original coffee maker, I want to buy more refills for the Keurig.

My coffee is too delicious and easy to make

Our pipes froze several days ago, and have finally defrosted. We're 99% certain that none of them busted as we have good pressure and can't hear any noise (and can access our crawl space to check on pipes that way too) but now I will spend the next several days in paranoid fear that we missed one and our house will get sever water damage.

We can afford repairs and are insured, but hngh, I hate the anxiety.

I've been running out of food and had to resort to making a Kraft Dinner to eat tonight, but when I went to put the butter in all that was in the dish had somehow melted completely. :confused:

It tasted fine, just slightly thin, but I'm still weirded out by how that could happen. It's not like the dish was by a heat source.

Get some reusable filter baskets. They're usually something like 4 for $10.

My problem is that I drank a lot of red wine last night and woke up feeling awful. I just had a bowl of pho, which is like god's own hangover food, but I still feel kind of gross. I didn't even finish my food and had to take the rest home. :sigh:
