New FWP (American edition) - I'm excited to only be responsible for $300 of a hospital stay billed at $1600. Thank God for employer provided health insurance.

Edit: whoops. It's $16,000 not $1,600.

Don't know if this counts or not, but today I stupidly caused a needle infusion (where it pokes out the other side of the vein) in me at dialysis leaning over to pick something up on the floor. I'm now in a lot of pain applying ice and have to make up the lost treatment tomorrow morning on the other side of the county. sigh.

Now I'm stuck on this page re-entering my pass and unable to get into my emails.


Tried switching to it from an alternate email that displays just fine, but after clicking Add Account for the first I get stuck on the same page again.

I'm trying to do a thing and it isn't working. I tried Googling for a solution and the only relevant website was a forum where people posted like insufferable idiots and that kept going offline every few minutes. After all that, the solution requires a 16GB USB, which I don't have. :negative:

My package from ebay arrived today but the postman only left a note because it didn't fit in the mailbox. The post office is closed now and I can't pick up my stuff until tomorrow morning :(

Of course it turned out to be just the item I needed the least right now, sent separately while everything else is still stuck somewhere on the way :argh:

I just washed a pair of pants that had a pack of gum and a flash drive in the pocket. I'm pretty sure I fished all the gum out of the washer but I'm not 100% certain. Also the flash drive belonged to my boss but I don't think he needed it.

Cut your nails before you pick your nose next time, dummy.

Tomorrow I have to spend three hours on a bus to get back to my uni town because the trains are hosed. Despite the fact that I will still be able to get home, I'm mad because I have to spend an extra hour travelling, and it's on a lovely bus, not on a more comfortable train.

Meanwhile, I'm here as someone who didn't get promoted after 10 years of service while someone else who's been here maybe two months did. All the new girls seem to be getting promotions. I'm probably going to end up being a shithead but I'll at least direct it to the person who's actually made me angry.

I was dumping noodles into some spaghetti sauce and dropped 1/4 onto the floor. I'm an idiot who jumped away from bubbling sauce. Now my pasta to sauce ratio is way the gently caress off.

Was going to give some to my son when he woke up from his nap but I don't feel like washing spaghetti sauce out of his curly rear end hair. Guess I'm making a different lunch for him. This spaghetti kinda sucks anyway.

If your son is old enough to have curly rear end hair, then him getting spaghetti sauce in there is a bigger problem than you having to clean it.

The office network has been down for half an hour. I have to use my own data to stream music while I sit at my desk doing nothing. I'm on a 10GB/month plan so I'm not going to run out, but streaming music over 4G drains the battery slightly faster than wifi which means I might have to charge my phone at some point this afternoon.

I just moved into a trendy studio apartment downtown, and the internet is really spotty. The studio is really small and overpriced and doesn't have a real kitchen and I feel like a hipster when I describe it, but the worst part is the poo poo internet connection. I could probably get this fixed tomorrow because my utilities are included in the rent, which includes internet, but I want it nooooow.
