Does career hunting count as a First World Problem? When I say that I don't mean 'figuring out what I want to do in life' kind of deal, I mean 'desperately searching for a job opening to get my foot in the door' kind of struggle.

It's been a huge pain in the rear end.

I ordered a watch online and the package got wrongly sent to another country. The tracker then proclaimed that it will be sent back to the merchant. So I got in contact with him and he gave me the option to resend it or get my money back. Because I wasn't in a hurry I wanted them to resend a new package. Not two days after that, the first package arrived at my door somehow and now I got a second one coming. Now I need to get back in contact and probably send the one back on my own time and it suuucks. And I am too much of a upright citizen to just wait and see if they'll notice that they never got the first one back.

Tell me more about this hammer drill. I am renting an old house with tough-as-rock walls and don't want to make a bunch of craters just to hang pictures. Maybe I should use Command hooks. I don't know.

My FWP is that my work is having stupid administrative drama that could easily be resolved but isn't.

If you're renting you probably don't want to punch any sort of hole in the walls. Just buy some stick-on hooks and use those.

I had to bake something for a class potluck and I wasn't paying much attention to the recipe so I'm afraid there's not enough flour in it. Now that it's already in the oven I'm torn between just bringing it as is; or dumping it and buying something at the store in its' place.

It's basically just a super power drill and you would use special drill bits. But yeah I wouldn't drill either if you're renting and especially if you haven't used a hammer drill before. Hmmm I actually should pick up some new bits but that means I have to go to Home Depot and look through their ginormous bit section :(

I am friends on Facebook with someone who constantly posts STDH but they are also a goon who reads PYF and so I do not post their STDH. I wish I could, it's nearly every day that this person has an outrageous story that, whiles *maybe* partially true, is at the very least embellished to hell and back. I enjoy reading the STDH and mocking this person with my friends who also are acquainted with them, but I wish I could :justpost:

As such, the muscles that deal with keeping one's torso upright are a bit overworked/tired/pulled.

Going to be an rear end and one-up you. My old-as-poo poo building has brick and steel and asbestos all over the place so my wifi doesn't reach into my bedroom despite using the best router, so I have to drag an actual LAN cable to my PS4 if I want to use the internet on it.

I found a pretty cool Olaf stuffed toy a few months back. The thing is over two feet tall and pretty drat soft. I got it for a friend's kid....only for her to tell me today he HATES Frozen.

Do I give the thing anyway because what four year old can resist a giant snowman plush?

There's a piece of dust under the screen protector on my case but I don't want to put in the effort to get it out, plus when I put it back together inevitably there will be another one, or even a big rear end cat hair. It's driving me crazy.

Have you played Deus Ex: Human Revolution? That was the first one I tried when I got a decent PC. I also enjoyed Hitman Absolution (also a Square Enix game) though I know fans of the entire series didn't like it for whatever reason. Also try Sleeping Dogs (NOT watch dogs) with the HD texture pack. Sleeping Dogs does night time rainy driving really well, the entire game looks really nice.

I had the same problem when I first upgraded my PC, suddenly there was a bunch of crap I could run, first few steam sales were rough on my wallet but now I pretty much have everything I'd want that isn't new (and no time to play any of it). There's Fallout 4 soon, for high grade graphics GTA 5 and Witcher 3 would be good. Metro Redux maybe, not sure how far back we're going here with what your shitbox could run. Might be a good idea to see if you had a game you could just barely run and then run it maxed out possibly with modded high quality textures and poo poo.
