Someone bought us Ralph Lauren baby clothes that will be seasonally inappropriate when the baby gets to that size and they ripped off the main tag so we can't return it anywhere.

It's New Year's Day, the places I need to go to are closed today so I have to run all my errands tomorrow.

I am really stupid bored; my friend has to work, I'm off work, and I already finished my binge watching of MadMen.

I took down my blinds because they were gross and old and broken, and put up some nice window clings that block out where anyone can see in, but now my room is very well lit.

I don't know if my nieces and my other nephew really liked their Xmas gifts; if they don't say they didn't, then I'll get them something similar next year and I don't want to be the suck aunt that keeps getting them dolphin poo poo when they really don't like dolphins. I wish it was more culturally appropriate to say when you like the thought of the gift but not the gift itself.

That leads to the issue of 'Are they really telling me that niece/nephew likes/didn't like it, or are just trying to get me to give them something else next year because They (the parent) didn't like it?'

I got up at 430 this morning to take a friend to the airport and forgot I had set my bedroom lights to turn on when I got within a mile of my house, so my poor doggie was sitting on the bed waiting for me when I got back at 5am confused as hell.

Also I'm going off-roading with my boyfriend and some of his friends today, but because I went to bed so early in order to get up at 430, I'm too well rested/caffeinated to go back to sleep and I'm worried I'll get cranky later.

Also my super cute manicure is all chipped to hell. I'm gonna get them done again Sunday, but I HATE having chipped nails ughggghg.

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
The wifi in the main floor of my house is crummy because the internet comes in the finished basement so that's where I have to put my router. I wanted to be able to move it upstairs, which was theoretically doable because there's an existing ethernet cable that goes from the basement to the living room. All I'd need is a female to female adapter to bridge them, but I also wanted to then run another cable back down to the basement so that my PS4 down there could have a good connection, since the wifi would now be poor in the basement as opposed to upstairs.

But it looks like the previous home owner half-assed his cable pulls/installs in the house. I was hoping I could do it the easy way buy pulling the old one back through the wall with a piece of string tied to it, and then use the string to re-pull that cable and a new one alongside it, but the old cable was getting snagged.

Cutting off the jack and then pulling the cable and re-terminating it all myself is an option, but that's more work than I want to do, and also I'd have to buy or borrow a stripping/crimping tool.

So my FWP is having to spend $60 on another router for upstairs to use as an AP.

I got it from Monoprice, and holy Hell, I didn't realize their cheap shipping option is so slow. It also has the bare minimum of what could be considered package tracking.

I know it left California on Dec 28th...and that's all I know. No other facility has recorded an arrival or check-in...I guess it could theoritically still be on that original truck, but seems unlikely. It's "estimated" to get here on the 6th, who knows how accurate that is.

Amazon Prime has spoiled me for shipping. :negative:

I stayed at work for an extra half hour so I could catch the later train because it always uses nice new air conditioned carriages. Not today though, this time it's the same smelly, dirty, uncomfortable, due for the junkheap poo poo that the early train usually uses.

At work we take break in a garage and I get no signal on my Note 3. Both of my coworkers have no problems with their iphones and their sit on either side of me. After I leave the garage it will never get another signal until I restart the phone and I can go hours without one if I forget.

I was waiting for a package yesterday, and it said it was delivered at 3 pm. It wasn't. It ended up arriving at like 8 pm. Like come the gently caress on, don't say it was delivered if it hasn't been delivered. I thought that someone had stolen it or it got sent to the wrong address or something.

I work in a mailroom and this happens all the loving time with USPS. Typically if I'm waiting for something and the tracking says it was delivered today I know it's not coming until tomorrow. The worst is the rear end in a top hat postman who will not deliver something, but sign my name on it. Then I have people bitching and thinking I'm withholding their poo poo from them for some reason.

I have a new supervisor.

This is my 7th (technically 8th if you count the guy who answered the phone call with "No I'm not, I turned in my two weeks today") supervisor.

I've been at this job slightly over two years. That's a new boss roughly every three months.

I bought Captain Crunch Crunch Berries a few weeks back for my first meal on New Years Day, and I've noticed that they never get soggy like they did when I was a kid. I don't want to waste the box but it's just not bringing me the nostalgia of being a kid eating soggy sugary cereal that I was after.
