I just want to thank Flipperwaldt and Roro on the small USB stick suggestion, it worked perfectly! Bought a 16g less-than-an-inch-long flash drive with both USB and microusb prongs on it, and it works perfectly!

There's a really cute, sort of flirty guy who works at the drug store near my house, and even though I'm spoken for and probably a bit too old for him anyway, I still get vaguely embarrassed when he rings me up for like, tampons or athletes foot cream or whatever.

I really want to watch season 2 of Daredevil but I'm only on ep 1x9 and I promised to only watch it with my GF.
But we work opposite hours and only have one day off together.

Wait, let me try to get this straight. You called a bank to transfer your moneys and one of the people there thought it was good idea to call you a racist for a different political view?

I never did phone banking( didn't even know something like that existed) so maybe I'm misunderstanding.

I read it that way at first too, but I assume they actually meant they worked at a call centre (phone bank) soliciting for donations.

I was calling people in states who were voting soon to make sure that they knew where they needed to go and what they needed to bring to make sure the process went smoothly.
Yeah, I was upfront in that I was "working" for the Bernie campaign but I wasn't looking for donations.

So yeah, the Trump guy didn't make a single bit of sense but from what noises he was making, I assumed he was fused to his Lazy Boy and thrashing around about socialism.

gently caress I hate when they do that. UPS is especially bad. I've had it sit in my town for an extra day so they could deliver it to me on the given date, instead of early.

It's like, gently caress man, if you are already in my town and have my poo poo, loving call me and I'll come pick it up. No need to even drive here.

I have Prime and am near an Amazon distribution center, so I get free same day shipment on most things. On days when I order something, I basically get nothing done because I'm F5-ing all day to see if it's arrived yet. To be fair, a couple people in my neighborhood have had packages stolen off their porches, so it's not entirely without reason, but I always feel guilty for spending a whole day watching a bar advance slowly across my computer screen.

I don't know if it counts as a First World Problem, really, but I suffer from silent migranes, so I've got a stupid little dot in my field of vision like I stared at the sun for a second. It's already fading, like they always do, but it's still mildly annoying. I've gone to the doctor about it before, so it's not super life-threatening.

This happens to me all the time. I have an awesome bf and no interest in being with other dudes but if someone really cute notices me doing something goofy or embarrassing I still get that identical middle school "sink into the floor and die" feeling.

My problem: I can force myself to drink more water and eat healthier food but I just somehow can't get motivated to work out. I'm so tired and lazy every day after working I can't seem to force myself to get up and move and now I'm worried I'll look fat at my brother's wedding this summer. I've tried everything but I can't seem to find an exercise that doesn't feel like absolute torture. Wahhh.

Do what I did and get a hyperactive dog that must be exercised before dawn or else he'll spend the rest of the day punishing you and everything you love.

If you're not into dogs see if you can pay a friend to scream at you at 6 a.m. and eat all your socks

How early do you start working? If it is possible work out before, the first 2-3 times may be hard but after that you should have adapted and as an added bonus you'll be much more energetic at work. Also try to find a friend, maybe even a work related one, to work out together.

Depending on where you live and work this may or may not apply, but I have all sign-for boxes sent to my work, or to the local Fedex (or UPS etc) held there instead. Someone has to sign for it, and unless your mailroom hates you, the box should get to you easily.


My left shoulder really loving hurts...but only at work. At home, after work, it hurts a lot, but over the weekend when I took some time off, it felt fine. Until I got out of the car at work a few days later. WTF, shoulder? Is this a real pain or one of those stress-imaginary ones?

I don't know when I get to transfer from my 45-min commute to my 10 minute one and after vacation, it's made me realize just how loving long I am in the car to and from work.

Sure! Just as soon's I find another employer who respects my inability to work more than a certain number of hours per week so I can not lose my disability benefits, without getting either a "lol tough poo poo you'll work what we tell you" or "lol get the gently caress out".
Harder to find than you'd think in Texas! And being 100% deaf in both ears, even with a cochlear implant, locks me out of a lot of potential jobs.

I got LASIK last week and my eyes are *almost* perfect, but I'm probably going to have to get a bit of a readjustment done on my left eye. I'll find out for sure at my followup appointment tomorrow.

On one hand, I paid a lot of money for the surgery and I deserve to have full results and 20/20 vision in both eyes, but on the other, my whole weekend is going to be shot if they want to readjust it tomorrow.
