I relocated my trashcan at my workdesk after years of it being at the same place. Now everytime I want to throw something away my habit takes over and i first go for the old location. And I'm too stubborn to just put it back.

I was up until 0200 with food poisoning but I still can't justify not going in to work for what is essentially my equivalent of a slow Friday. My lovely retail job has me fuckin' whipped. :(

Some Youtube videos have arbitrarily decided that I cannot watch them. It's not consistent which ones, and it doesn't seem I can fix it.

This was a bit annoying before now, but now it's affecting the Game Grumps' latest Kirby and the Rainbow Curse video, and god damnit I want to watch it.

My dryer is broken and I figured out which part I need to replace, but it's infinitely more difficult to buy parts as a consumer than it is to hire someone to fix it. I just want to walk into a store within a 20-mile-radius and buy a drat thermostat.

I remembered about a dumb thing I did when I was a stupid 6-year-old kid which was stupid and hurtful towards a person I had never met before and have never met since, and it's made me sad all day :smith:

I don't think that this qualifies as a first world problem. I bet people in 3rd world countries can feel bad too for being rude assholes.


As in true first world problems, I needed to wait a whole 10min instead of 2 at the postal office to receive a package because they filed it as a large letter in the databank. The nerve of these people!

All the radio shows will be going on about the ESPY awards last night. I just want to hear some funny talk.

I moved into a nice apartment two months ago after living in a total shithole for nearly five years. Two things.

1) I keep running the shower water unnecessarily. When I was living in the shithole, I had to run the water for like five minutes before it (maybe) got warm enough to bathe in, so I'd use that time to do little stuff around the apartment, but now the water is hot immediately and it throws my morning routine off.

2) I keep losing stuff under the furniture/in the second bedroom.

I also moved into a new apartment recently and it's a very nice one-bedroom with amenities that are quite unusual for a college student (including a garbage disposal, ice maker, and valet trash service) and while I am enjoying living alone for the first time, I am pretty lonely.

At my old job there was only 1 microwave and all 10 employees at the office needed to use it at the same time so I had a chance to chat with them while waiting for the microwave. Now that I switched jobs there is rarely anyone using the microwave when I go to use it so there is no one to talk to.

Wait...you considered having to make idle chit-chat with your coworkers while standing around, waiting for the microwave a good thing?

Some people like their coworkers. :colbert: I'm friendly with some of the customer service folks, and they sit all the way on the other side of the room, so the only time I can interact with them is when I'm waiting for the microwave/coffeemaker.

I'm relatively sociable once I get to know people. And no it isn't, I had an awesome time fighting a bear this past weekend, it was usually cracking jokes back and forth and talking about everyone's general life outside of work. Was a decently age diverse place, had guys from 60-70 who had all the hands on experience with what we were doing, then 20-30 year olds who were doing everything on the computer now for someone at another company to fix.

A girl I had a HUGE crush on for like a decade or so (and have given up on) messaged me on facebook and this causes several problems for me.

1: I didn't get the message for like a month because it was in my other folder.

2: She wants to hook up, and I'm in a relationship.

3: I kinda wanna call and brag to :siren:MY GIRLFRIEND:siren: about how awesome of a boyfriend I am because I'm not banging chicks on the side but that's dumb, but it seems like I am owed brownie points for being a good boyfriend and yet somehow, I'm not getting the relationship cheevos outta this poo poo.

4: I'm scared the girlfriend tried to set this up in some weird form of "Let's catch him in a sting operation called Operation : I don't trust that fucker!"

I'm 37. I should not feel like I am back in high school with relationship drama.

Have you tried acting like you're 37 and having a mature discussion about loving other people and how it doesn't change how you love your girlfriend and doesn't mean you want to end the relationship?

I mean I didn't think it was the 50s still but what the gently caress do I know? :shrug:

e:

My FWP: I'm in healthy relationships with mature people and can't complain about weird poo poo and don't have a weird desire to earn brownie points for not cheating. :(

e2: Also I can't stop being an rear end in a top hat

I was expecting my paycheck to be bigger because every drat time I'm told I'll be getting time and a half, my brain fucks up how time and a half works. No, self, you don't get both your regular time *and* the bonus pay on top of it, you just get the bonus pay. Why do I always forget this, every drat time?

E: Also this is the third time I've gotten past the $800 mark on my journey to saving up enough to build a new computer. I'm close enough now that I'm getting impatient for it.

SA loads really really slow on my phone, particularly when there isn't a good internet connection, and especially when typing, so it always ends up clicking outside the type box / hiding the keyboard, or the page reloads and I lose everything I typed.

You may wonder what I am doing while reading your posts..

Crashed at my friend's new place last night, woke up early and hungover/sick so I left. Had an hour and a half on the tube and train to get back home feeling like poo poo the whole way. I'm also not going to have anything remotely healthy for the rest of the day.

Also I apparently left one of my windows wide open overnight. I'm on the second floor so there wasn't much risk but there's probably bugs hiding about now.

I always accidentally scroll too far up when typing something on here in iOS chrome and it reloads the page so I have to type everything out again.

I clicked on the hot in shape/muscular women thread in gbs and now I'm depressed because I'm doughy and weak, but working out is hard and requires effort, and I just want to play video games.

I ordered a $40 rare steak but they made it in between medium rare and medium well, but I didn't want to send it back because I don't like bothering service people, and also after reading the horrors of food service thread, so I had to eat an expensive lovely steak :(

I spent all day on the forums instead of being productive.
