I'm going out of town to visit friends this week that I haven't seen in ages, and I'm super excited! However, they live in Salem, Mass., and every time I tell people where I'm going I hear dumb jokes about witchcraft. Plus I've heard the town is a giant tourist trap in October, which may be sort of fun, but may also be annoying.

I really want to use sick days to call into work "sick" to play metal gear solid tpp. This stupid game. Haven't been this addicted to a game since FF7 in 1997.

I can't find an art teacher in the city. I've watched all of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight episodes and now I don't have anything to watch when I play WoW.

I really want to play The Phantom Pain but I don't have a gaming PC powerful enough or a current-gen console to play it. I could easily afford one, but it's too  to build a new PC and I would only use the console for that one game and it would be a waste of money.

DrBouvenstein posted:I ordered some nice smart-LED bulbs and wifi control kit about a month ago and they still aren't here. Update: Emailed both the same customer service email from before, AND a second customer service email (one was support@company.com, the other was orders@company.com,) and no replies to either. Called the two phone numbers listed for their US offices, in in CA the other in DE, and they just kept ringing, no one picked up, didn't even get a voicemail or an auto-message saying something like "we are currently closed, please call again." I am now forced to be "That guy" and complain on the FB wall, but drat if that's not the best way to get a company to respond to you nowadays. Waiting to see if that gets a response. I now wished I used a credit card for the order and not PayPal, because it's so much easier to do a charge-back with a CC than it is to do a PayPal refund.

It is now lunch time, I'm starving and need to go out to get lunch. My boss left to go talk to his boss about another job while he waits to hear back from someone on this job, so I can't leave.

I figured I'd try it at the New Zealand post website, and it IS a valid number, but it's not associated with any tracked service. I don't think it's so much scam as just mismanaged/possibly incompetent company.

I'm sitting in that weird grey area with video games. I REALLY REALLY want MGS5 but FO4 comes out in a month. I have plenty of other games to occupy my time AND if I get TPP, I won't play FO4 right away. Winter Steam sale is only a couple months away. Maybe TPP will go on sale and I can back-burner it for a while.

The phone on my desk in my office has multiple lines. One is for the front desk, which I don't answer, but rings quite often as my office also owns self storage units. There is also an intercom, and a ring if someone is calling my line directly. All 3 lines have different rings and my personal line is called so infrequently that I tune out the phone in general. But when people really do want to reach me they usually call my work cell phone, rarely the desk phone.

My work phone is unlisted and private but sometimes (4 times a week) a confused old person or a really REALLY high person will call. One gets irate that I'm not the person they called and the other laughs a bunch thinking I'm his friend playing a prank. A couple times I've gone along with it and learned that the old guy thinks his nurse is stealing from him and the high guy really just never has enough drugs. It's the best part of my day.

I have a brand-new 5Ghz, 1 Gbps, ac wireless router. But my Chromecast can't use it. So if I want to stream anything to it from my phone or laptop I have to switch to using my 2.4 Ghz network... Like a fuckin' animal.

There was a clearance sales at Claires and everything on clearance that was under $10 was 10 for $10. Nice poo poo, I can get my niece something good and cheap. But all the craft kits that should have been a buck were instead $5, despite being under $10 initially. The manager said she had no idea. Now, $5 isn't that bad but when the poo poo was originally $7, that isn't much of a sale. And really I have plenty of gifts for her, but at $1 each for a kit, that price was too good to pass up. I just like to be the cool aunt that looks like she spent a lot of money when it was all cheap. All the stores around me no longer sell the large cans of cat food. They sell the medium ones, but only three flavors, and then the small cans, in 15 flavors give or take, but you need to buy three of the small to get the same amount as the large can, and I go through a lot of large cans with the foster kittens. Pizza places that open at 11am on Sunday. gently caress, I want pizza at 8am, open the gently caress up!

Why are there no good cheap blenders that can totally liquify spinach so there's no stringy parts? Got the pizza. And the bastards thought Light Sauce meant we wanted sauce that squirted out all over every side when we bit down. After the first bite the loving cheese slid off and all we had were giant sauce covered pieces of soggy pizza because the sauce had leaked through the bottom. Even out of the box. The gently caress, you bitch. I understand you were there alone but wtf is with being THAT passive aggressive to people who weren't loving rude to you and were fine with waiting an extra 20 mins if you needed it?

The Amazon app is total poo poo because it defaults to applying a gift card balance to your order payment, even though I set default to credit card only on the website--there isn't an option for this on the app!!!! so now I have to cancel the order, but it's "not guaranteed" because I have prime and it's already shipping even though it's been less than 12 hours (I ordered it 10pm last night and it's 730am now). I'm worried they're going to charge me return shipping even though it's their stupid app's fault. I was saving this $200 to get myself something nice, not to pay goddamn return shipping for something that's technically their fault for having a lovely app. I guess I'm using full site on the phone's browser from now on. My phone keyboard is all sorts of hosed up with misspellings because I type poorly, so it corrects likes like gettibg and YES in caps. I need to reset it but then I'll have to type more carefully and the stupid keyboard will have to learn my typing again and that's annoying.

Normally I park at the curb outside my house, to leave the driveway free for my roommate and her guests. My elderly neighbor's caretaker has been parking in "my spot" unpredictably, forcing me to park at other curbside locations.

You spent your Amazon balance instead of real money. Real money is exactly like Amazon money, but better (because it can also be spent at other places). If for some reason you need Amazon money, just use the real money you still have (because you spent your Amazon money instead) to buy yourself a gift card.

PostNL, which banggood used to ship my stuff, has the worst tracking system ever. First, it said "the item is pre-advised" for four days ( ) now it's "in transit" but at no point does it say where the package actually is or when it can be expected. C'mon, we can have real-time tracking down to the location of the truck that it's on, this is bullshit!

Like gift=something special, not the $15 frying pan I was trying to get. Plus there's some emotional stuff because of the person who gave it to me and I would feel crappy if I used their gift on said $15 frying pan.
