When life becomes too painful, sometimes it's better to just become a drunk.
I made a haircut appointment and promised to go into work this Saturday (it's a filing period so poo poo's crazy) but I want to cancel both so I can meet with my jeweler to give him my ring so it can be put into a new setting because I'm a spoiled brat. Now I have to wait at least a month and I want my "new" ring now.

Portable phone chargers have two major aspects: amount the battery holds, and the dimensions/weight of the battery. One doesn't get bigger without the other getting bigger.

Is it too much to ask for a portable charger that can charge my phone's battery like 4 times on a charge without being the size of my phone and three times as thick/heavy? (the answer is, of course, no, which is why it's here.)

Age of Wonders III went on special on Steam a couple days ago, and I bought it because I heard it was a pretty good fantasy 4x game. And it is, although it's more combat-focused than I'd like. I bought it anyway, because seventeen bucks for that sort of game is pretty good.

But now an entirely different fantasy 4x game is also on sale, Endless Legend. Which I also know is pretty great, and less combat-heavy. But I know I probably shouldn't buy both of these games, both because I really should be more careful with my money than that and because my internet usage is is pretty high this month.

EAT BRAINS ALL DAY


I got more money back from taxes than I had expected but I turned around and bought new computer hardware.

My bank account is flush with cash but I should be saving for... something, probably.

The pho I'm eating is just a hair too salty but it's my fault for adding soy sauce.

I've been marathoning Harmontown but now I'm caught up and have to wait until next Tuesday for more Fat Drunk Baby antics.

Mom was getting off work late tonight so I decided to surprise her and have dinner ready. Steak, potatoes, rolls, and corn. Easy. But she came in, said the potatoes were too thick, to add milk. The corn wasn't salted right. And goddamn Cowslips, how long did you put the steak on for, if you had waited I'd have shown you the better way to cook it! Now only part of it is rare, the rest is medium rare! You didn't put enough butter in the potatoes! And oh my back is KILLING ME so I can't do any cleanup either.

Not a goddamn single thank you.

Next time I'll let her loving cook dinner with her bad back and bad knees and be a goon hiding in my room and not help.



I had a delivery today that is always a problem, but today would be different! I had the building number! I have the apartment number and the gate code! And I got there with plenty of time to spare....only for the code not to work. I had to call the sender, who got pissed and repeated the same gate code I had several times before finally calling the recipient...who said they changed the gate code recently, it's now XYZ. Bitch wants her order delivered asap despite being out of our delivery range and then gives us bad info for delivery. Thanks, bitch.

There are ants in my house. Not in my kitchen, which is next to the outdoors and has food, but in my bathroom, which is in the center of the house and has no food. Why.

Also, I'm really hungry, but the kitchen is a mess and I need to clean it before I make food, but I won't have any energy to do that until I eat.

Last time I got called for jury duty the prosecuting attorney was really attractive and I guess I was a little too eager to answer his questions. I was the first one the defense attorney kicked out.

So inadvertently I came across another way to avoid jury duty. Just bat your eyelashes and smile coquettishly at one of the attorneys? I don't think you even have to be a girl to make this work.

You might be me. Have the ants also attracted spiders to your shower? Spiders that hide between the cloth shower curtain and the clear plastic one so you don't notice until you're already naked and wet?

Also there's a leak in my bedroom and the apartment manager is dragging her heels on getting it fixed. The leak ruined my bed so I'm sleeping on an air mattress in the dining area. The outlet closest to the air mattress stopped working in the middle of the night so my phone didn't charge and the alarm clock didn't go off, but that second thing didn't matter since I can hear the neighbors kids leaving for school at 6am and said kids think it's appropriate to scream the entire time they're leaving (it probably is).

My upstairs tub has never had a spider in it. The basement one gets like 3 spiders a week trapped in it.

I don't know which is worse; if the basement has so many spiders that there's enough to be falling in the tub regularly, or if the upstairs ones know how to get out.

I spend $15,000 on an old pistol that I bought on auction because I was bidding on it after a screwed up flight that should have been at 12:40PM was actually AM resulted in me not having slept for 27 hours. I had to sell some poo poo to pay for it, I'm sad I had to sell poo poo to pay for it, also I have no money now.

Pretty much.

I usually come to PYF for the funny, cute, and gif threads, I noticed this thread and thought that my ridiculous angst over having to sell a bunch of poo poo because I got in a fight with old men with a lot more money than I in an auction I had no business being in (thank you proxibid!). The funny bit is that I don't buying the gun, just the having to sell other things to pay for it. Seemed like the epitome of a first world problem, unless I am doing this wrong?

With the serial numbers legally required to remain intact old guns can allow you to unearth all sorts of fascinating history. When that history is already known the middle class is pretty much always priced out of owning such a thing (middle class first world problem?). However, if you are ok with gambling and work up enough knowledge to pick up things that might have some history? Sometimes you get lucky.

My mom wants this album for her ipod, but itunes only has it in the UK site, and since I don't have a UK address or credit card, I will probably have to buy this stupid 90's CD on Amazon way overpriced.

We picked up a new account at work, so now we are super shortstaffed, and we can't hire more employees until we can prove we need them. We prove we need them by having more accounts, but it takes a loving month to hire and train someone new, during which we could lose the account because we can barely handle the workload.

My roof still hasn't been fixed, there's no ETA on it, and the insurance company is only gonna give me like 40 bucks for the damaged bed thanks to the demon magic of deductibles. Oh, but that's only if the leak was caused by hail or wind damage, they're not liable for shoddy maintenance and the apartment isn't liable for drat near anything as per the lease, so I might not even get the 40 bucks.

Due to all of that I'm losing sleep, not because I'm sleeping on an air mattress, it's actually quite comfy now that I've fixed the slow leak, but because I can now watch tv and play video games while in bed since I'm in the front room.

I think your storm found its way over here. Forecast said it was gonna be a bit cloudy but otherwise pretty clear, but it's been raining off and on since I put my washing out on the line based on the logic that it wouldn't be raining on them.
