We're at a restaurant having lunch for my sister's birthday, but my dad didn't come so it's awkward as hell and I can't fully enjoy my seafood.

At least the guest Wi-Fi is good.

E: I got to gross my niece out with the calamari, they fry it with the legs still on here :cthulhu: Totally worth it.

My iPhone screen is turning yellow from so much use but I don't want to spend money on a new phone.

I spend too much time on my iPhone, probably more than I do on real life things. :(

I need to do real life things but I am lazy :(

E: I hate apple and want to switch to android, but that means I'll have to re-buy all my apps and learn a new OS and that's mildly difficult.

Maybe it's not from use and is just the way it was built, but I have a 1 year old iPod Touch and it's screen is very yellow/brownish compared to my new iPhone 6.

It's from use. I used to do Apple repairs, and all the lcds they use (especially iPod touch and iPhone) that have been used a lot turn yellow/brown, whereas new product is bleach white. I can't speak for other brands but this is absolutely what happens with apple products.

Maybe it's a way to make people to think "omg my iPhone isn't white anymore BETTER BUY A NEW ONE!!!!!"

There isn't a nice sounding alternative word to "Urinal".

I come across this particular First World Problem just now, as I am trying to make some signs for a party in a big outdoor venue - the urinals are in a totally different place to the cubicles, so the signage needs to be specific. The signs need to be highly visible and I don't want people to have URINE silently shouted at them whenever the sign happens to be in their field of view.

nothin' wrong with a lady drinkin' alone in her room
I desperately need a haircut, so I called in to set an appointment for after work. Apparently my regular stylist is on vacation, so I'll be with some lady I've never met before. It's just a trim and brow wax, but my usual lady knows me and my non-Euclidean hair pretty well and always does an awesome job with minimal directions. I'm sure the new stylist will be fine, but I'm nervous and really don't want to spend the next couple months looking weird.

I can't decide what electric egg cooker I want to own, even though I don't really cook eggs that often.

Best Buy has a decent one on sale for 13$, but it's not in stock locally, and amazon has a good one that can be here monday for 17$, but that's like... monday. Walmart doesn't have any in stock :(

My eggs, I just want to eat the eggs.

Order the egg cooker you want for next time, then just cook your eggs like a regular person for the time being.

I saw that deal too! May have ordered 4 of them. My FWP about it is the town I'm going to be in tonight has a Best Buy but I couldn't in store pickup at that one. So instead of sending them another store and going there tonight or tomorrow to get them, I have to wait till Monday for them to ship to my house. I want my easy egg cooker now!

I'm getting really loving tired of hearing about how much my sister-in-law allegedly cares about my husband, or how much she cried about how we treated her last week. Snooping through someone's belongings so you can get their doctor's information without their consent, making appointments for them when you have no legal right to do so, barging into someone's room and demanding to be heard, and threatening to have someone involuntarily committed if they don't comply with your demands is crossing several huge loving lines regardless of your reasons. I don't know how many times I have to explain to you fuckheads he isn't suicidal, he isn't a threat to himself or anyone else, and he's a loving adult who is competent and capable of making his own decisions. Just because he doesn't live his life exactly like you does not mean he's in desperate need of help, especially not the kind you have to offer.

And for gently caress's sake, please stop trying to emotionally blackmail us with your kid or your mother's health issues. There's a reason we disowned you months ago, now gently caress off already. Get a goddamn hobby other than creating drama and making us miserable. Go learn to paint or some poo poo.

The store was out of the crab dip my mom likes so I couldn't get her any.

I was digging up tortoise eggs (they cool if left in the ground) and accidentally broke two when I was opening up the mound. I only have 8 eggs now and had to wipe smashed yolk off them.

I did this a couple months ago but with a deep teal blue dye. Luckily I was able to part my hair in a way that hid it since I only did highlights but it still sucked.

Having not learned my lesson, I just bought more goddamn dye from the same brand because it comes in a really convenient kit. Luckily (?) I haven't had a chance to dye my hair scalp yet because it took over three hours to lighten my hair today and it's still not where I want it yet.

Unrelated to hair chat, I think one of my sisters-in-law busted the power adapter for my husband's laptop last time we were visiting. Lord knows what they did because the pins inside the brick are bent to hell and the cord can't be plugged into it anymore. Of course, neither of them are willing to shell out to replace it because they think he uses the computer too much anyway.

Everything is terrible. :emo:

GF is making so big, surprise dinner. I've starved myself all day but now I'm not hungry. Maybe it'll change soon.

A coworker I cannot stand is coming back from three months of "medical leave" and I just know they will make my job a thousand times more difficult.

A job I applied for hasn't gotten back to me. If I was not selected, I would have heard by now so it's a good sign but maybe they forgot??
