I was linked a SMBC comic and read it to the end even though it wasn't funny. For shits I hit the random page button and was reminded how SMBC used to be a funny single-panel comic with actual jokes.

My glasses broke today Now I'm gonna have to go get my eyes examined, get a new prescription, and then wait like 3 weeks for my new glasses to come in. The only pair I have until then are sunglasses. I'ma look like a douchebag but I don't have a choice.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:My glasses broke today I think you can order glasses and contacts from Canadian (and maybe european) websites without an up to date prescription. If you know what your most recent prescription was, you just enter that, they don't check it or anything. You'll still have to wait a couple weeks for delivery, but you won't have to go to the doc. I've used zennioptical.com before where I got glasses for $25. They've lasted me 3 years at this point. YMMV

I think that's where I got a pair from a few years ago. Last eye check was back in 2010 so I need to go get my eyes examined anyway. I'm planning on going with some website like zenni or optical4less or something. Wal mart never has frames that really fit my giant head. Man, I just hate eye exams and waiting for poo poo, but I hate paying 600$ for glasses in the same day WAY more.

That doesn't work when you live in a 100 year old building that can't be upgraded! And thank Jesus your building isn't "historical" so you can't even install an AC at all If I lived in the 3rd world I would have 40 ACs and 40000 wires everywhere, but at least I would be comfy.

I saw an ad for a pressure washer for cheap last night and decided I'd buy it today, but it's sold out now On the bright side, I did order some new frames from where I got my glasses last time, and I ordered 2 new pair of glasses from 2 diff websites, so I'll know which one does good work and can then be used for me to purchase sunglasses and other crap I don't need. Still though, I was gonna get to play with a pressure washer. That was gonna be cool

Pressure washers are defo pretty fun, even for more mundane stuff like wood stripping. FWP: I get to work from home remotely today to wait for an electrical inspector, but I can't drive to get lunch until he shows up...urrrrrrrgh.

My Internet provider is loving up a hub somewhere and our internet is down. I tethered my phone and used up my entire 6gb data allotment watching three quarters of an episode on HBO Go. It was the first day of the usage cycle too so now I have no data until August.

I'm in the same position. I got hired at 2 places but won't start at either one for at least another week. And I need that money or I won't be able to pay my rent Aug 1st It's very stressful.

My family wants me to spend the 4th of July with them, but I know I'll have way more fun if I go to my friend's house. Also my boss's wife, the so-called hospital manager for the vet clinic I work at, is insane. She called to ask me what was going on because both lines were busy for ten minutes and when I asked to call her back because I had people on hold and a full lobby, she flat-out refused, then bitched about my co-workers and why weren't they helping? Obviously we're busy, ok, I can't spend ten minutes on the phone explaining that my co-workers are doing their jobs but are overwhelmed because you would rather not hire an appropriate amount of staff. No, I don't know where Lindsey is at this moment, I've been glued to the phone. And when I call for her on my pager to appease you, she's helping a Doctor, doing her goddamn job that you don't think she does. Why the gently caress my employers think a constant skeleton staff is a good idea, I will never understand. Christ, we have to sneak around to help each other do tasks safely, like restrain an animal for a nail trim so our other co-worker won't be dodging teeth. And it's policy to not have owners restrain, but every goddamn tech appointment I get, I have to have the owner hold because I have no right to ask for assistance. If my co-workers weren't so loving awesome, I would've quit long ago. Also this is the only job ever where I'm required to write down my times for each task on a loving flow-chart to "prove" I'm doing my job and where I am at any given moment of the day. Wtf kind of poo poo is that. empty sea has a new favorite as of 03:10 on Jul 4, 2014 |

I drove about 30 mins each way to go to class today, only to find no one was there. There were no signs on the door or notifications online, or even phone calls about class being cancelled. There was just no one there. Apparently everyone got the memo except me. This is the second time this has happened this week.

My high end tablet and my high end phone don't use the same charger which means I could potentially be left without a link to the other people I know who own tablets and phones or are offering me work or are work (all assuming I'm on holiday not in the Western world and have no way of charging my devices or they've been seized accidentally by customs, they're insured by my VISA so I'm not bothered about the cash, but it's the sheer fuss. Even then I know enough Cantonese to get by and I'm in good health, smart, not a terrorist, no criminal record, but why take chances?). My new second, black, PS4 controller has a relatively deep, ugly scratch that doesn't affect its functionality that my OCD beautiful nerd girlfriend noticed, which may be the final straw, although she's chill so you never know. I'm too full for seconds and besides my mild IBS might act up although I'm not doing anything tomorrow and I'm a doctor on call and in fantastic shape and young white and rich but that doesn't guarantee anything these days.

I'm planning to bike to local places instead of driving, so I bought some bike locks to secure my bike. I haven't even gone out yet, but just reading about how to lock up a bike is scaring the poo poo out of me and/or convincing me that if I don't lock up perfectly it'll be stolen in seconds.

I want to start biking more, but depending on which route I take I live 13-14 miles from my work, and I start at 5 am so I don't really want to bike that far at 3:30 in the morning.
