I've had this strange sensation of slime on my front teeth for like a week, which has led to a annoying habit where I breathe in through my teeth and basically dry out the teeth. Rationally I know the 'slime' is just saliva and I should stop, but its really annoying.

My dog is kind of a clingy rear end in a top hat. But his fur is so soft that I keep petting him even when he's growling at me for no reason.

I was basically in charge of most of the things at work today for the first time. I did okay but not great and now I'm laying in bed thinking how people are gonna tell me where things went wrong today when I go into work tomorrow.

Quit your job. I work part-time and make almost as much for standing around, watching people get drunk, and maybe occasionally telling someone to :frogout:

My problem is that my mother-in-law has yet to grasp the fact that I work in a bar and calls me early in the morning all the time. I didn't clock out until 3am last night, please stop calling me at 9am. :sigh:

The fish club meeting went over our usual time on Saturday night by an hour, because the dude running the auction would not shut the gently caress up about how much each bag cost the club and kept trying to get people to start the bids at the end range of the spectrum.

We had a huge convention last month, and rear end in a top hat McFuckup, who was kicked out of another club, begged and whined until our president let him come, on the promise he wouldn't gently caress poo poo up. Well, he didn't threaten anyone this time or get piss drunk, but he DID use another bidder's number to rack up about $100 worth of bids, and then bailed. All those bids were on fish the club tried to auction off this past meeting, but when you have 10 people bidding on everything, the price will stay a lot lower than when you have 150 bidding and everyone outbidding each other.

So we all stayed an hour late, people got pissed, the people that drive 2 hours to the meeting were very pissed, and I ended up taking over the auction and selling everything left for a buck a bag.

We still can't vote/decide if rear end in a top hat Fuckface Thief will be allowed back to the convention next year.

I looked for a precision electronic scale on Amazon. I found one with a precision of 0,01 grams rather cheap, but all the "people who bought this also bought" suggestions were about hundred-packs of little ziploc plastic baggies, and now I'm worried I'm on some kind of list.

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
Chrome is annoying me lately.

SA is blocked at my office, so I use a Chrome remote desktop to connect to my home PC and browse it from there (because gently caress doing work.)

I also use the hangouts extension in Chrome, so this means when I get a message, it now essentially pops up TWICE, once on the PC I'm actually using, and once on the PC I'm remoted into.

I figure the easy fix is to sign out of Hangouts on my home PC, except that Chrome, in it's infinite wisdom, seems to assume that anything you want to do on one instance of Chrome you want to do on ALL of them, so signing out of hangouts on my home PC also signs me out on my work PC. Near as I can tell, there's no way to be signed into hangouts on just one PC, it's an all or nothing deal.

There's a Hangouts App I can get that's not the same as the hangouts extension, so maybe that will let me be signed in to just one location, but I hate the app. It has a persistent taskbar icon, as well as persistent "chat heads" that float around on the desktop for the different conversations. I really, REALLY prefer the hangouts extension version because I can minimize all the conversations to be "hidden" to the system tray icon.


So there's a "Exit" option in the extension that does what I want...I never scrolled down far enough in the options to see it, because I figured 'sign out' was all I was looking for.

A combination of moving from sea level to the Rockies, being too busy with job hunting and such to go out and drink regularly, and weighing a hundred pounds soaking wet has reset my alcohol tolerance so that I can't even finish a single 16 oz beer in a restaurant without feeling woozy.

I bought GTA5 last night hoping to play after work today. At 60gb for the download I had just enough time between then and when I get home from work to play. I woke up this morning and their lovely download manager locked up at ~20gb, so it's not gonna finish until it's almost bed time now.

I knew you were trouble
when you flew in

I live on a dead end street in the far reaches of an apartment complex with non-delineated street parking during the day and designated parking spots at night. I dropped my boyfriend off at work this morning, came home, pulled up to the curb, parked and went inside to do homework until I left for class. During those three hours some rear end in a top hat cop ticketed me for parking in the "wrong direction." Like okay I get that if it were a heavily trafficked road parking in the "wrong direction" would be a problem but for gently caress's sake you literally have to drive through the entire complex to get to my street and actively choose to turn down the clearly marked dead end, and on top of that there are only three other residents and so who the gently caress cares if my car is pointing left instead of right. Jesus.

If this ticket is more then like twenty dollars I am going to be so pissed.

I preloaded the 60gb and the game unlocked 24 hours ago but between work, sleep, gym and social life I haven't had a chance to play it yet.

Every day or so I have a delivery to a place that opens at 8am. But they never open at 8. Sometimes 8:30, sometimes 9, sometimes 8:45. It is never set and the phone is never answered. They are also in a lovely crackhead neighborhood and I want to get in and out of there asap, but sometimes I have to go two times a day, and then amazingly enough sometimes at loving 10 they're still closed!

Just change your hours sign to: ? to 5pm

I'm in the middle of a weird purchasing problem on ebay. I asked the guy to cancel the order cause my ebay funbucks weren't added to the order, and he did. Then, I got a shipping notice and an invoice request to pay, so I did (using my ebay funbucks this time). So now it's kind of a mystery as to wtf is going on.

Dammit I just wanna play MKX and beat people up and kill them horribly on the cheap. Is that so bad?
