What also sucks is being sick, barely able to do anything but sleep and being bored senseless.

Also the little fucker in the waiting room kept coughing on the back of his arm and all over the main table. And he spent the 30 minutes I was waiting whispering very loudly to his mom. Either have him whisper softly or just talk normally, the loud hisses in between his coughs were awesomely loving annoying. Especially when his phone had on a Let's Play about GTA.

Your life and your quest end here.


I've just moved house and there's been a bunch of hassles that really shouldn't have happened: the owner apparently failed to pay his last gas bill and got cut off, which meant that when I tried to get the gas connected the company had some issue that's made it take much longer than it should have and they're charging an additional connection fee; the phone line was broken and had to be repaired, which we only discovered when we tried to connect the internet, so that was delayed as well (and again, there's an additional fee); they've just had the walls repainted, but they did an absolutely terrible job of it and they didn't clean up afterwards, so we had to come in and clean the house before we could move our stuff in; and now I think my washing machine's broken, so that's going to cost me as well.

Day three of pinkeye and I have used up almost all the meds because it is loving hard to dose your own eyes. I have 4 days left to go and hope I don't loving waste much more.

My mom's birthday is today, she is out with a friend, but forgot her cell phone. We have a good dinner planned tonight....and one of her cats just died, literally, in my arms an hour ago. It's not one of her favorites at least but I have to tell her when she gets back. Bye, Rosie.

Well, I was fine without tears till I had to tell mom. Here is hoping I don't cry out too much pinkeye meds, I already spilled a bunch trying to dose my own eyes.

FWP: not being the only person out sick at work. We are down three people and another is on vacation and another got fired/quit last week. Boss is stupid stressed, his assistant (not an AM) is in the hospital, and in two weeks I lost Rosie the ocicat and Nod the sand boa.

At least I got another eyedrop prescription. The tech didn't seem to think I was lying when I said I had spilled a bit of it because loving hell can't we make a pill for this poo poo already? Whose bright idea is it to give eyedrops to a half blind person?

My sister is driving my mom loving loco, and my mom is now venting to me about her problems with my sister and brother.

We don't really all get along as a family, but apparently I'm the only one of the kids who doesn't have a shitton of daily drama I call mom about, so basically it all falls down to me having to listen to my mom vent about poo poo I could not literally care less about.

I love my mom, but god drat do I wish she'd just tell my siblings to grow the gently caress up and quit bugging her with their "professional victim" bullshit.

Also, I have to buy toilet paper and paper towels but I am unsure if I can fit both of those in my truck at the same time while still having room for me to drive with the rest of my groceries and poo poo I gotta get.

I needed a new program on my work laptop to do a job.

The program needed rebooting.

Rebooting means installing Windows updates.

So here I am, phoneposting, while my laptop takes its sweet time "configuring update, 25% done...", and the urgent job I needed to do is not done.

I have a new deskmate for the next 5 weeks, and he is ridiculously attractive to the point where his hotness is distracting me from my work. Today he came in looking extra fine, like a sexy professor with glasses and a sweater with elbow patches. Hot drat!

Also now I feel guilty for objectifying him.

Also I am married so am feeling guilty for finding some dude hot.

drat, this frightens me as I am going to Italy in February, and the thought of pooping in a hole makes me want to cry. I have the unfortunate combination of having ibs and being a shy pooper. Should make for some interesting stories, at least.

My mouse (logitech m705)'s left mouse button is failing, and failing hard. Last few days it seemed like it'd occasionally fail to click, but now it's failing to click a lot. :(

e: I might've hosed up my mouse worse by blowing compressed air into it, because now it's down to being able to left click, but can't drag.

Take it apart and clean all the bits. You could've blown some dirt into a switch or something.

My mouse is 12 years old and going strong because I take it apart and clean it every time something starts feeling off (mice are disgusting). I actually just bought new pads for it, since I've been slowly wearing off a thin layer of the plastic from the bottom.

There's this one reliable computer I've always used at the public library that has never had issues with adware and other BS that gets them marked Out of service by the IT staff.

Today I saw this one idiot who I always see downloading manga and anime videos on it, had to use one of the other computers that had adware and browser redirects and poo poo all over it.
Now that he's gone it's constantly giving me Server Not Found messages and the USB ports are hosed up too.

My chair that I obtained new, in box, from an abandoned warehouse trash is falling apart (whose msrp is $5,000 :rolleyes: ) and it's okay but it's not comfy but then again it was never comfy. Why the gently caress does this piece of poo poo cost $5,000?

Amazon Sponsored ads on the iOS app. They used to have a banner that made them obvious but now they just blend in with the normal items, but they have nicely-angled pics so subconsciously I gravitate to them. They also have one mystery 5-star review. On the plus side I'm smart enough to read the text but it pisses me off that I can't just browse without being like, "OMG I NEED THIS ITEM" until I realize it's an ad.

I hate ads.

I've started randomly browsing stores, I'm not buying anything. I don't want to either but I'm just doing it. Bleh.

E: gently caress I just saw one and the seller is called "we pay your sales tax". Really, I should delete the app but I actually get useful stuff on Amazon that's cheaper and also less travel time for me so window (app) shopping is inevitable.

E2: oh and there's ONLY ONE LEFT IN STOCK-ORDER NOW!!!

Big hot steaming bowl of popcorn and my mom has to stop me to explain poo poo from the cat rescue, why her cat Rosie died. It was her heart. Thanks, Mom. Because Rosie also got a piece of popcorn whenever we had it (and she would steal mouthfuls and run off and lick them clean of all butter and salt) and now I can't eat any.
