USPS sucks so much. I order stuff from eBay and Amazon sellers and whatever, and the sellers always put like priority 2 or 3 day, but the stupid package ALWAYS arrives in 5+ days. Wtf is the point of paying extra for 2/3 day if it doesn't even arrive on time?

My foster kittens might have brought worms in, so now all my cats might have worms, and I am going nuts thinking every time that I am hungry, it's the worms that somehow got in my stomach and I am feeding only them. Joke's on you, fuckers, I got food grade diatom earth and you bastards are gonna get shredded. I want to go sell plasma but am afraid to due to the many scratches up and down my arms from the drat kittens who sit in their own poo poo before walking off, so I have to bathe them, and kittens freak out, which isn't helping the AUGH PARASITES thing either. I took special care to send my niece something awesome for her birthday and she couldn't even email me a thank-you. Meanwhile the family I nannied for, every year I get a thank you card from the girls (their parents are almost anal about this poo poo, they write out who gave what and the kids spend the day after Xmas or their birthday writing out the notes. It might seem like a lot but it does make me smile to get one.).

Aphrodite posted:Online package label printing has allowed sellers to technically fulfill their "Ships in X" requirements while never putting your package in the mail in time. True but I go by the date the USPS website says it was dropped off at the post office, for this one it was 5 hours after the label was printed, and it's still "left [original] post office for sorting facility" for 2 days now. So it probably won't get here for another 2-3 days, including because my local post office is a bunch of lovely lazy stupid fucks. I got another package today that looked like a truck ran over it and taped it back together, but on the plus side the items were intact and it got here in like 12 hours even though Amazon shipped it super late. This is way too many  about shipping, sorry.

My friends got a puppy about a month ago. I love puppies a lot, but they've turned into psycho social media obsessed pet parents. They made a Facebook page for the dog and keep trying to get people to "LIKE THE PAGE OR PUPPY WILL BE SAD" and other poo poo like that. If I have to get one more message on Instagram about how "my dog is SOOOOOO much better than your cats!" I am going to scream.

I bought a 4K smart tv. Running Netflix is fast but the sound is only stereo. If I want surround sound, I have to stream through the BluRay. It's pretty much just as fast but I can't use my little TV keyboard with it. I can afford to get MGS5 but I don't have the time to play. I'm really good at writing things for tabletop RPGs and my GF is trying to convince me to write my own book. I love her support but I don't have the confidence to do it I saw an ex of mine begging for change on a freeway off-ramp as I was going to go drink out of boredom.

Just getting SOMEthing down is the hardest part, and you can edit it when you're sober. #liverhack My first world problem is that I'm always mildly annoyed when I go to the symphony and half the people there are wearing jeans. If the conductor can manage to flail around in a suit then you can sit quietly for 2 hours in a pair of dress pants, plebes. Also they make an announcement at every single show telling people to please not clap between movements and there's a big thing about it in the program and people still do it anyway, and it's always terrible because half the people are clapping (probably the ones wearing jeans) and the other half are going uuhhh should we be clapping now and the result is this terrible half-assed applause that just kind of rolls around the room. artsy fartsy has a new favorite as of 18:48 on Sep 28, 2015 |

I ordered a T-mobile iphone 6s+ with overnight shipping on Friday afternoon (this was after being in an apple store all morning trying to get a phone I reserved but I don't even want to go there) and they promised me it would be there on Saturday or the very latest Monday. Well it's Monday evening now and still no iPhone:( I'm currently trying to track the order, but of course just doing that isn't easy thanks to T mobiles brilliant website.

I just watched Pacific Rim for the first time. I did not expect it to be the otaku fanfic that it was, basically Godzilla meets Gundam, meets Transformers, meets Power Rangers. I hadn't heard much about it before seeing it, only that it was sci-fi. I thought it would be more refined, but it was just silly. It wasn't terrible or anything, but :/

I'm moving this week, been packing all weekend, need more boxes for all my stuff, also more time to pack it unless I wanna pay the movers to pack. Tomorrow I'm painting because the new apartments despite all the good things they put in (ethernet drops everywhere, granite counter tops, hard wood floors) they decided the walls should just be plain white. gently caress. That. Not even like eggshell or cream, just loving white. The bigger loving problem is tomorrow is also the service window for getting my current cable service deactivated. All of tomorrow. No 9am to 2pm even, just all loving day. I was permitted the massive boon of a heads-up phone call that will give me...some...amount of time to get back to the old apartment and let some guy take a cable box, modem, and fumble with some wires in the closet or whatever the gently caress. The new cable company gave me a two hour window, but they can't do anything until the day after the move so I'll have a night without any internet. It's impossible to win all the battles when moving, hopefully the movers won't be shitheads.

New microwave. UGH MOVING BLARGHHH But, you can get great moving boxes on amazon. I'm waiting on my second batch of these: http://www.amazon.com/Bankers-Box-S...rds=bankers+box because they are sturdy, a great size, and will last for future storage needs. They are large enough to hold a good amount but not so large I can overfill them with heavy books or whatever.

My new flat has Venetian blinds in the bedrooms. They don't block the light very well and so the rooms get really bright really early. There was no blind at all in the livingroom, but we were told it would be installed and today it has been. A Venetian would have been really good in this room, since it lets you block out direct sunlight without making the room too dark. They've installed a roller blind here, which means I'm basically going to have to have the lights on in the afternoon most of the time.

As spergy as it is, I had it all planned out: I'd load a game (on my Wi-Fi only tablet) that tries to make you pay money to speed It up in the morning, set everything gameplay-wise to be done about an hour after I got off work, play the game at Location A before going to see a movie, and afterwards set up more things in the game to run overnight. The plan would've worked perfectly had the Wi-Fi at Location A been actually, ya know, working. I shouldn't be upset since it's a stupid game that matters not, but I had planned things out so perfectly...

Movers will be here in 5 and a half hours, I still have poo poo to pack and there's basically no way I'm going to be able to get everything in a box. Or sleep. I feel like an rear end in a top hat but I don't know if movers care or look at it as more hours or if they'll be cool with just taking the heavy stuff. Still need to put felt feet on all the front room furniture too so it won't scuff up the new wood floor.

The company is in NZ and I'm on the east cost of the US, and I didn't pay for faster shipping, but drat if this isn't a long-rear end time. I emailed their customer service two days ago and no reply yet. DrBouvenstein has a new favorite as of 21:45 on Oct 7, 2015 |

Even as a victim of a crime you have to pay $2 an hour at the courthouse to talk to the prosecutor. By the end of all these trials and things, I think I will have paid the city parking system more money than the monetary worth of what was stolen.

In one of the mobile games I play, they are doing a contest (who can harvest the most resources) that I hadn't expected to do well in (since I just started playing about a week ago), but I've surprisingly gotten pretty high, which made me pretty  . But now more players are (presumably) playing, and I'm being pushed down the ranks.
