The lab next door has something that has been loudly and frequently beeping for about 2 hours now. Now I'm going to have to go work in a coffeeshop to avoid it.

I was supposedly told to perform a procedure on Wednesday on a dog in a way that, once explained a day later, was so laughable that I thought it was a loving joke. Which is probably why I didn't recognize my instructions? The Doctor on duty and I did it the correct and safe way and were completely bitched out by the practice owners because it took more time? and personnel and both those are apparently money. But, you know, being sued because a needle lacerated an unattended dog's spleen is a total write off. Or having the tub occupied for 2 hours and the groomer unable to use it, that's just dandy too. Two people tapping fluid from an unsedated dog's abdomen in a safe and correct manner for thirty minutes is wrong. One person and one trainee with no animal experience leaving an aggressive dog with 18g needles sticking out of its abdomen to drain for 2hrs with minimal supervision is apparently right. We're not even supposed to leave a muzzled dog unattended, much less a muzzled dog with needles poking out of it. My first world problem is that I can't believe I got yelled at for doing the right thing both for my doctor, myself, my hospital and the dog. Jesus Christ.

My fellow nerds and I in the D&D group trade off cooking each week so that we're not spending all our money on horrible takeout. I have warned my friends that they'll be eating my culinary experiments, good or bad. It's my turn this week, and since I have half a pepperoni and some leftover prosciutto, I figured, hey, calzones. And hey again, last time I did this it wound up doughy as hell, so let's brush the top with olive oil, add a little parmesan, little garlic powder, and make like the garlic bread is baked in. I had a little dough and filling goop left over, so I made myself a tester to find out early what I was subjecting my friends to. Oh dear, garlic Christ, this is the best thing I've ever made in my life. It's like God Himself channeled through my hands and made His Own Divine Hot Pocket. And now I have to wait until tomorrow to eat the rest of them. And I have to share them, and not eat every single one.

Bring pizza and horde that food!

I have a waterproof case for my iPod touch which allows me to lay in my pool and control music on my outdoor speakers at the same time. I just kinda don't like the look of the case though, and no one seems to make good looking waterproof cases. Also, wifi doesn't work well underwater so if I let the case dangle off of my floaty, it loses connection and I have to reconnect.

I'm holding a rehabbed screech owl on a glove right now (posting from mobile) and I want nothing more than to hug him and squeeze him and call him George. But, y'know, wildlife. I'll just have to settle for holding this cute li'l fella.

This Friday I will likely have a new job that will afford me disposable income, but I want to buy video games and play them now, not a few days from now!! (My roommate loved the first Mario Galaxy, and I want to buy the second one so we can play and hang out).

The White Dragon posted:This is definitely a first world problem. If you live in a third-world hellhole with tons of standing water and, consequentially, mosquitoes like Cambodia or Louisiana you get bitten so often you don't itch at all anymore. Scarily enough, a valid first world problem is the shitstorm in Ferguson. Holy gently caress they doubled down on the crazy tonight. 2 reporters arrested, tear gassed a news crew AND arrested an alderman.

I want to try out a recipe I found online, but all the quantities are in cups or tablespoons or teaspoons, and I'm having trouble figuring them out. It's easy enough for liquids, but how am I supposed to measure a cup of cantaloupe? The weight per volume depends on how large the bits I cut it into are! Why won't they use more sane measurements? Like grams. Grams are good

Unless you need a specific size or shape, cut it into small pieces and use however much you can heap into a cup measure. Except for baking, cooking recipes are rarely that strict.

First world problem: cups as a measuring unit really loving piss me off. A "cup"? Who the gently caress standardised the size of a cup? And why didn't we ditch that poo poo along with the Imperial system? ...Oh wait, I live in Britain, and the Imperial system clings to our proverbial neck like some kind of leech because of all the anti-Europe whackos who won't let it DIE. gently caress YOU AND YOUR AVOIRDUPOIS/TROY OUNCES!

I'm about to go to a job interview where the job will hopefully be much better than my current jobs and will definitely pay more. But I'm tired and just want to take a nap. I'll have the rest of the day off after the interview, but I'm sleepy NOW. Also the interview location is a 30 minute drive from my house. It will likely take longer to get there and back than the interview itself will take. Naptime seems soooo far away...

Also, my oven quit working a few months back, and I thought about it today and realized it was probably just the plug, so if it turns out to be just that I am going to be so incredibly pissed off

I want to listen to some music at work. I forgot to plug my tablet in last night so I can't use that. I only have a mono-headset for my phone so I'm not using that. I thought I'd hit up YouTube. Nope. "Entertainment" videos are blocked by the proxy. I guess I'll sit in silence this afternoon.
