2016 can eat a bag of dicks. Opened up our Rubbermaid tote full of holiday memories to find loving black mold. My wife and I have no kids and may not be able to have them, and this tote was full of books we had from when I was a kid, ones we had found and save like cloth book versions of Christmas stories, cards people had sent us including my grandmother who is dead. All of it wet and moldy. My wife is an archivist and may be able to save some of it, but who knows. gently caress 2016.

Had a string of jackass customers today that was broken by a trip to drop stuff off at a shop. They had a durango with some meaty at tires chilling at the shop which was a tad odd, since this shop exclusively deals with gen 3/4 ls based performance stuff and swaps. The hood was up so I snuck a peak. It had an ls3 in it with an lsa blower on top. Swap was clean as hell and the guys were just doing some troubleshooting after the owner had it in several big name florida performance shops with no fix found. It was a good day. Edit: gently caress, better than ya'lls days. Sorry guys. :

Nah, it's okay. She'll either come back, or I'll be down the cat that Pees On Things. It's the wife that is saddest. At risk of repeating my fuck2014.gif fiasco and the promised ban, uh..

What MGS said. 2016 has been a rollercoaster. For me, that rollercoaster is under water at the moment. I MIGHT have a lead on getting into auto finance through a friend who's been in it for a long time. He told me they're hiring for entry level and to get my resume polished up. Fingers crossed...

I haven't had an assigned PIN in at least a decade. When I'm issued a card, if it's for a new account and I'm opening it in person, they have me type it into a number pad that I assume is encrypted. If it's online, they ask me what I want the PIN to be - either at account opening or when I activate the card.

I can agree with that. Love my new job that I fought so hard to get, but am not as good at it as I had hoped. Won't be surprised if I get fired soon. GF dumped my rear end about 6 months ago because I replace smoking weed with drinking and she didn't like that. Blah.

Sometimes cats can take a long time to return home. My parents' cat just came back a couple weeks ago after running out in the spring. He was gone for almost 6 months and we'd figured him gone for good. I ended up doing a lot of reading about the topic and it's my understanding that going outside for the first time is overwhelming for them, as such mIssing cats rarely go very far, usually no more than a few hundred feet. Then they hide for up to a couple weeks, but at some point hunger wins out and they come home. Places to check are under cars, decks, sheds, etc. Even when they see and recognize their human(s), they're very much still in flight mode and instead of going after them once located, it's better to wait them out to avoid making them go further from home. Other things can influence how long it takes them to come back, like my parents' cat had to contend with the local feral population and I imagine he came home when hunger finally won out over fear of his former littermates. tl;dr: The cat likely wants to return home and will the moment it realizes it can, but all the new things are scary.

Holy loving poo poo my laptop battery just popped and burst into flames in my lap.  My lap is fine, but I'm now sat in A&E because I have a sore throat and cough, and I know enough about lithium chemistry to know I might have huffed something nasty. It's like an hour later and my pulse is still ~115. *E* Also according to my hot male nurse it's me that stinks of it, I probably can't taste it. Good to know!

I slow-cookered a pork casserole for 8 hours and it was loving divine. Now I'm drinking rum & lemon & lime and watching westworld. My wife has acquiesced to the christmas decorations going up tomorrow (she doesn't really like christmas because she lost her deeply beloved G.Pa 22nd Dec. when she was a teenager) so me & the kids get that done tomorrow. Work could be better but that's just politics'n'poo poo, 2016's not the worst year I've had, there will be more, there will be highs, there will be lows. Basically if you're having a bad year I'd give you a hug, but rum does that. If you're having a good year hold onto that through the bad ones. And yeah, if you're having a really bad time get in touch with someone, anyone, even me, talking helps.

I had planned on making smoked chicken tonight, but ended up with carne asada instead. Maybe I'll do chicken tomorrow, since they're only like 4 bucks. Christmas does suck, though. I'm better nowadays, but my dad died on the 23rd when I was a kid. Kinda took the cheer out.

nm posted:OEM battery (and if so, what brand)? Nah it was an aftermarket one for my T410, I'm actually trying to find the original invoice now but no luck so far. My lousy defence is I was a student when I bought it and a real battery was a significant chunk of my annual income. Besides, an OEM sticker is no guarantee that a battery won't burst into flames, just ask any Note 7 owners.

Had our work xmas party last night, drank many top shelf vodkas on the company dime while the wife guzzled a bottle of champagne. Tipping the bartender a $20 early is how you make these nights a success, a simple nod at your empty glass while standing at the end of the bar and the line is 15+ deep and boom. Refill.

Went to car show, spent 4 1/2 hours looking at mostly imports. A lot of really well done cars with either lots of hp, great looks or both. Alot of cambered out bullshit too, but hey, different strokes and all. Realized I want a decent camera for poo poo like this, cell phone doesn't cut it.

On the upside, I started a new job that I love and will become a principal over (part of or the whole thing) the school in the next few years. But, when 2016 hits, it hits hard. Anxiety and depression from losing my job earlier in the year and dealing with administrators that constantly tried to intimidate me; quitting my side job and taking this new job meant a large paycut. Spent the better part of May through November worrying and stressing about money; got behind from not being paid in the summer, and then only getting paid once a month made it hard to come back. Lots of stress about money, which has cleared up some now that it's the holidays. Job does not offer health insurance, so I go through the marketplace and will be paying ~400/mo next year since we can't get a tax break. Even more on the downside, my wife and I found her grandmother in the floor on Easter; she had fallen during the night and couldn't get to the phone. She was barely mobile before, was totally bedridden after that. Watched my in-laws fight and argue and stress over her being at home and trying to provide care and keep her out of a nursing home. Then when she was put in a home, watched them stress over the home not taking proper care and the grandmother nearly dying.... Only to move to a better nursing home and not get better. She is now on hospice and probably won't live to see Christmas. 2015 was pretty bad, but most of it was stupid stuff I did to myself and 2016 was spent dealing with it. The rest, though, is out of our control and sucks rear end. I plan to make 2017 my bitch.
