It finally happened. Motherfuckers shorted me an entire shift on my paycheck :shepface:

Motherfuckers said they'd look into it and I would have my pay by Monday, which was yesterday. I still do not have my pay. I'm 'bout to start going over heads until either I get a hold of someone who will give me my goddamn money, or they fire me for chain of command horseshit, whichever happens first.
pay me my goddamn money:tizzy:

My Halloween costume is coming together nicely but I really should work out more to make it believeable.
There are no skinny-fat wastelanders.

Moreover, I spent my Sunday driving around thrift shops for items. It's an old costume that needs updating. The fist Goodwill had 90% of what I needed. The rest of the stores that day had nothing :(

My internet is down, and they can't get get a technician out to come look at it til Friday morning. I have unlimited data on my phone, and plenty of other entertainment options, so it's not that big a deal, but it still sucks. And reading on my phone for too long gives me a headache.

Also, my cool reusable glass water bottle broke, and its kind of something I don't leave the house without, so it needed to be replaced right away. I didn't feel like driving out to the burbs to go to Target or spending thirty bucks on an artisanal one closer to home, so I just went to the Rite Aid around the corner. Their selection sucked, but I bought a lovely plastic one anyway just to have something to take to work tomorrow. Got home, took the labels off, and then remembered I have two hour delivery with Prime, and I could have probably gotten a really nice one for the same price.

I have a stupid habit of pushing on my nose, and I've made the mistake of doing it without cutting my fingernails. This has led to a small scar-like mark where my thumbnail has cut into my nose that's just obvious enough to warrant everyone asking me about it.

It's not that they didn't pay me at all- they did, for the hours I was actually scheduled to work. The extra hours that I covered for a coworker who was sick are the ones that I'm trying to get. :argh:
I'm stupid forgiving stupid enough that I can let this go if they don't gently caress it up again. I like that particular coworker, so it's less of an issue (she's also actively been trying to un-gently caress it instead of keeping the money from the shift she didn't do, which helps.) Now, if they gently caress it up with this next paycheck, I will be pestering every drat person every drat day, because if I work a 7am-3pm and 11pm-7am shift on the same drat day, I'm loving getting paid for it.

Maintenance put coolant in my air-conditioning last week and it didn't cool down the air, so we've contacted them again on Monday. They still haven't come and the air runs always but it's still about 82 in here. I don't want to have to call them again tomorrow but know I'll need to :(.

On the other hand I got a job in my field but it doesn't start for two weeks and I want it to start next week :(.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.

I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

I had this happen a few weeks ago, turned out something outside was clogged (in-take? I dunno exactly), however since it's running constantly you're going to have a massive electric bill, might be for the best to just turn it off like I didn't :(

I got Mad Max on Bluray yesterday, it had some stickers on the cardboard sleeve. I got the digital copy one off but when I slowly peeled off the Rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh sticker about halfway to coming off it just ripped the sleeve so I had to toss it. I don't really even care about the loving sleeve since it doesn't look any different from the actual case but it's the principle of the thing dammit, stickers like that should come off easily :argh:

I dropped my phone and it somehow knocked some of the contacts loose, making the touch not work anymore. It was an easy fix when I got to my tools, but I spent most of the day worried I'd need to buy another screen replacement.

The outside unit wasn't on for some reason, but they're reimbursing us for the extra electricity bill since we just moved in mid August.

My boyfriend somehow managed to accidentally buy an Amazon Echo via rear end-dialing. We're returning it, of course, because it's by no means necessary. But it looks really cool and a part of me wants to mess around with it.

I keep wanting to buy one despite having zero need.

My work changed my schedule so that I'd make more money, have slightly worse hours and have the release of a very important video game off.
They told me last minutes so I'm taking two consecutive 3-day weekends.

Art Academy for the 3DS is so much loving fun I could puke. My work wifi isn't strong enough to download the extra lessons :(

These high-G injections have some serious side effects after pulling so many jumps.

My insurance is determined to be a dick about my prescriptions despite the intervention of two doctors and a pharmacist. With Big Pharma seeing the 2016 elections as their last best chance to kill the ACA, I imagine my insurance company will try to slip me the dick as often as possible during the next fourteen months.

I'm also out of cute vegetable Forever Stamps. :sigh:

Ask me about fixed-gear bikes (aka "fixies")
I ordered a nexus 7 (2013) from an amazon marketplace seller and had to wait days longer than I should have for it

When it got here it was the much slower/less pretty/less useful 2012 edition with 16gb instead of the 2013 32gb version I bought. It also had a super sketchy custom rom on it and it came in just a bubble mailer, without the charger or usb cable it was supposed to have.

So now I'm staring at this useless thing I can't do anything with because I don't trust the rom while waiting for a refund (that will take days) so that I can send it back (properly packaged, not in a goddamn bubble mailer) and buy another one from amazon, so that I can wait another few days to have the tablet I bought.
