I don't have a credit card so I asked my brother to buy me a bundle of dota 2 items.

He didn't do it until today and now they're not Genuine anymore meaning my collection of items for characters I play now can't be complete without a lot of work and extra cost and I'm out $20.

Also the store didn't have any of the salmon burgers I like so after a 3 hour volunteer shift at a local food charity I have nothing to eat except junk food.

The subway was actually efficient this morning, so I had to stand around work for twenty minutes waiting for someone to come open it up for me.

While here, I had to entertain a client's kid for a while, so we had a unicorn-drawing contest. I actually like the resulting unicorn, but it's on the back of a piece of scrap paper and the backside shows when I scan it. I'm uncertain if I'm able to reproduce it, and can't put it in my portfolio.

I entirely forgot about mother's day and made a bunch of plans I can't break, and my mom is leaving me a series of increasingly forlorn and guiltsome notes.

I scraped against one of my best friend's cars when I was backing out tonight. Damage was minor and of course I immediately told him about it and he said it was all good but that doesn't keep me from feeling like a massive douche. At the very least I'm going to be buying his beer and weed for the foreseeable future.

Cashiers and other repetitive positions are also starting to be diagnosed with "Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders" (WMSD)
I'm actually one of them. I have some damage to my rotator cuff in my shoulder caused by the repetitive motion of picking up, scanning, and bagging items with my right arm.
I no longer work retail but sometimes my shoulder still aches.

It's a very very minor inconvenience. Boo Hoo poor me. :(

I'm pretty sure someone took a poo poo in one of the bald eagle enclosures at my work yesterday and I'm worried that they will strike again.

Like, this is really bothering me. It definitely wasn't an eagle turd, and the mystery pooper left a piece of a saltine cracker in the enclosure, so something's going on. Waiting for my supervisor to get back to me on it.

I was baking some chicken tacos in the oven, and I went to check on them in time to see the chicken filling get pooped out of the tortilla.

Now that I have seen that my food has some sort of sphincter control I am not entirely sure I want to eat it anymore :(

My favourite local burrito place has the worst-smelling soap I've ever encountered so whenever I eat there I have to choose whether I want to drive home with burrito smell all over my hands and risk transmitting the smell to my car's steering wheel, my clothes, etc; or if I want to wash my hands and smell like chemical hell until I can get home and wash them with normal soap.

Current fwp - When I went to get a coffee this morning the new barista-in-training made it and he used normal milk instead of soy so I've felt sick all day and the coffee didn't even taste right because the usual guy didn't make it :(

Being lazy is taking the bus instead of a bicycle. Taking a taxi is just fiscally unwise. Hope this made you feel better about your life decisions :tipshat:

My water is shut off for eight hours today because the city needs to replace my complex's water meter. Why does this need to take eight hours??? Who loving knows. I made sure we had water last night, filled up a bunch of pots/bottles, I just hope I don't have to take a poo poo until later because I'll have to drive somewhere to do it.

Ever since I watched it months ago, Yellowbrickroad has been haunting me. It's not a great movie--the ending is crap, for one. But drat, I think about that movie almost every day. I want to watch it again but I'm afraid that if I do, the magical fascination will die. It's just such a weird movie about nostalgia, loss and the simple horror of existing.

Also I don't want to drive five minutes to the store for smokes. I wish I lived in a city where I could walk places again. I'd have smokes and a moon pie right now.

Aw man, I ordered my set of HDMI cables from amazon, and they have a scheduled delivery date of Sunday? That's weird, and it's kinda weirding me out.

I mean, if they show, that's awesome, but if they don't I'm going to be kinda disappointed and either way it's kinda weird.

After a week and a half of this awful cold my doc gave me some antibiotics. These antibiotics make me so dizzy and nauseous I've spent the last two days in bed. At least I'm not coughing anymore because I think that would make my head explode. Also my fiancee is out of town so I have no one to make comforting noises and tell me I'm not going to die.

I went to have my prom dress adjusted and the tailor tied the laces on the corset tight enough (this was because the bodice was really loose) so I couldn't breathe all the way in. I thought it was normal and figured it'd be fine since she'd be only putting pins on the dress for a few minutes. At the end, I felt sick and sat down on the tailor's bed. I woke up on her floor. Then I had to be driven home on a windy road while I was still nauseous.
