I just worked 11 hours and earned tips but it doesn't leave me enough time between night shift to morning shift for me to play games on my computer before going to bed

It's going to be a reasonable temperature this weekend so I can play video games without dying of heat stroke. Buuuuuut I have to go to a wedding at some rich persons house. There had better be an open bar!

I might have had a big reveal in a video game I'm playing spoiled to me thanks to YouTube's incredible amazing "related videos" function. Like, not even the sidebar stuff, but the stuff where you go to the main YouTube page and it's all "Hey, we saw you watched [early game cutscene]. Check out [much later cutscene]!!"  gently caress off youtube

Get a coffee cup of expressos for 10+$ and feel like you did a line of cocaine. After my lawn mowing beers, I am going to have to order pizza and pay that ridiculous delivery charge fee. Or I could sober up. Nah...

Holy poo poo I hate this so much. I'm at a party and everyone is like "you got to see the baby!!!" But I don't like babies, so I feel really awkward. Also since I am awkward I'm on my phone posting on SA. I have unlimited data so it doesn't matter but the cringe imgur thread takes too long to load on LTE.

My boss' boss is dragging his loving feet on hiring new people for our location, and now both my boss and another coworker have told me they're actively looking for new jobs. I'm worried that if they do leave, the company will decide that our location isn't worth the time and effort to keep staffed anymore and will fire me The only reason I have this job is because my nieces' dad helped me get it, and he left a year ago. I'm the only employee who has been at this location for more than a year. I'm sure they'd like for me to be the supervisor, but even if I wanted to be, I can't- I can only work so many hours per week before losing my disability benefits, and they just plain don't pay me enough to make up for losing that.

I'm buying a house on Frday (woo! (?)) and there's a local telecom I can use (and have used in the past) to avoid having to pay too much money to Comcast for worse service. They've even gotten better since I used them, with student discounts, and even offering gigabit internet. The problem, though, is the pricing scheme. Here's their standard pricing:  And here's the special student discount I can get since my girlfriend is earning her Master's:  Realistically, I know that 50 MB/s internet is plenty of speed for me, and I should be happy I can get that for $45/month. But then I see that I can get four times that speed for only $5 more...or fives times THAT that speed for only $20 more (if I took the 12-month contract. Which, seeing as I'm buying a house, makes sense.) It's hard to NOT rationalize gigabit internet for $70/month. Edit: second problem today: the fact that there are TVs being made in 2015 that still only have 2 HDMI ports. The last TV I bought 8 years ago has 4! These aren't no-name brands, either. LG, Vizio, Samsung. I've looked at multiple models for each, and all have just 2. Maybe it's because I'm just looking on Overstock.com and they're mostly older models? Ironically, the first one I've found with 3 is a no-name (Hisense?) DrBouvenstein has a new favorite as of 21:56 on Aug 17, 2015 |

I live in a duplex, and our downstairs neighbors for the past three years or so are moving out. Sucks, because they rule and I'll miss them. Also, now we're going to have to find someone else to watch the cats when we go on vacation in October. Plus, their space is much cooler than ours. The building is a big old former one family home built in 1864, and the downstairs unit has a lot more awesome original detail than ours, which was restored at some point and is much more modern. Not to mention the 15 foot ceilings. I kiiinda want to see about moving down there when they're gone, but our place gets much more natural light, the cats would miss having a deck to go out on, and moving is a pain in the rear end even if it's just downstairs.

The A&W's around here have really gone downhill. They water down the root beer and use paper bags instead of foil for the burgers.

That fast of internet I'd only really worth it if you have the hardware that can support it. Also majority of consumers have a tv, cable box and some sort of movie player (blu-ray, DVD). And they expect the others who have more to have a fancy a/v receiver with multiple HDMI inputs, and one output.

I haven't had any issues with Comcast in the year I've had them except one unscheduled drop if service for two hours late at night. That being said, CenturyLink has their fiber network in my area now. It's would be faster for cheaper but I don't want to have to get any new hardware.

My desktop is a tiny Acer that is almost 7 years old, so I need to replace it soon, but I can't decide what other small desktop to get. Saw a cute HP one but if I get that, I'll need to get a monitor with an HDMI cable. That tells you how old the monitor is. Our three new foster kittens are loving tiny and adorable but refuse to eat dry food, so their poops are always runny from all the wet food. And reeking of pumpkin since we have to throw that in to limit the softserve ice cream poo poo. My mom has to go in for another surgery so I need to cancel the days off I have requested for Labor Day so I can get days off after her surgery. But my friend has me beat. He spent all weekend moaning about how Disneyland is opening a StarWars land and a Marvel land and it's just not the real Disney anymore. He'll still go, he goes about once every three months but hearing him whine about how it's not the True Disney anymore is almost a FWP itself.

I've got a gigabit router, and gigabit cards in my desktop and PS4, and all my of devices that use wifi have at least n. And I'm less concerned about any individual device getting a ton of bandwidth than I am the total bandwidth. Between my girlfriend and I, we can easily have two Netflix streams going, while I'm playing an online game, and probably downloading something or other. I'll probably just get the 200 MB service...I had their 25 MB service before (which they no longer offer,) and only a few times was it really a problem...so ten times that should realistically be fine. I just want o brag to everyone that I have gigabit fiber at home.

If it's DVI, you can find HDMI->DVI cables easily and for cheap, since they're sort of the same thing. If it's VGA, then yeah, time to get a new one.

They do make DVI to VGA converters though. But you are still getting the downgraded resolution, so yes. About time to upgrade the monitor if that is the case, if you can. But the adapter is an option in the meantime as it is relatively inexpensive.

The root beer is the only reason to go (also, cheese curds). Watering it down is criminal. The only one near us is also a Long John Silver's and they don't have a root beer keg or sell root beer by the gallon.

I had to get a warranty replacement phone and left my SD card in my old phone. The UPS store is holding my package so I can pick it up when I go to work on Monday but I feel stupid. I also got on the wrong train last night on the way home from work, so now I feel doubly stupid. I also have to sit around while the plumbers mess with my bathroom, no cost to me since we both rent and live in a co-op building, but I had to leave work early and am not getting paid for the rest of the day and I don't want to order lunch until they leave. Also my cat is scared and hiding under the bed and I feel bad for her.

Well, the bible says make a joyful noise. Nothing in there about it having to be in tune. My FWP is that there's an auction I want to win on ebay but it's going to be over in like 2 hours but I wanna win it NNOOOOWWWWWW so I can go take a nap and not have to make a stupidly expensive bid.

My beagle likes to sleep in bed with me so repeatedly will jump up into bed waking me up. I kick her out because there isn't enough room. Then she scratches at her collar, waits till I am just about back asleep again and jumps back into bed again.

I'm bored and can't seem to entertain myself. I don't work til 5 so I could get farther ahead in my classes by doing more homework, but  I think the bigger first world problem here is that I only have happy, productive days when I take my ADD meds, but if I take them too many days in a row I turn into a crazy, edgy bitch. Off days (when I don't take them) suck. Also, my cat just settled in my lap, which is rare now with her age, but I want to get up.

I'm hungry and didn't bring a lunch to work. The only place nearby is a cafe with rip off prices. I'm willing to suck it up and go for it but because it's the only place nearby for a big building full of offices there's going to be a line.

Aww there's always something to bitch about. I enjoy my job but if it gets extremely busy (Tech Support Call Centre) then I still bitch about it when/if it quietens down because that is kinda annoying.
