My "problem" is that I inadvertently paid too much for my phone data plan this much. I was lucky enough to do most of my phone stuff in places that had wi-fi, so I used maybe 20ish percent of what I could use.

I started vacation time yesterday. I meant to go see a movie.

Instead I got a migraine.

The other related FWP is I get sick of explaining to people that migraines are not "just headaches." Sometimes they get so bad it's impossible to soldier on and your only choice is to go to bed for 24 hours and wait for it to go away.

All I'll say is that you'll probably enjoy the movie more if you watch A New Hope before. IMO, Rogue One isn't quite as good as a standalone movie.

Also all those "explained" videos are so trash.

Having seen Rogue One earlier this week, I can't imagine what needs to be "explained". It's all pretty straightforward if you have any idea what Star Wars is. There's no cameos that reveal something shocking about characters or anything like that.

Not my FWP, but my dad was sick all day because he didn't stop eating an old banana even if (in his words) "it tasted like it was beginning to ferment".

My FWP is that, due in part to laziness and partially out of usage, basically everything I use regularly needs to be recharged, and I'm not sure if I have charging cords (and the right charging cords, to boot) to do everything. Phone, tablet, battery, a wireless headphone, maybe another pair of headphones, and my Fitbit...

There's an old saying about ageing that, after middle age, the only time you'll ever wake up without pain is when you're dead.

A few months ago when I got new glasses, I had to get them adjusted, and the lady who did them also made it so that my glasses wouldn't fall down my nose. Which was awesome because my glasses have always slid down my nose.

This has led to a FWP: my glasses stay up so much now that they accumulate a bit of skin oil from my eyebrow area. So if and when my glasses get dirty, I have to wash them with water or a microfiber cloth, cuz otherwise it'll just smear.

Oh, I know, it's just that while I should have both of those at normal spots where I know I'm bound to have to clean my glasses, I don't always so sometimes I have to make do. Hell, that's it's own FWP, somewhere along the line I've misplaced a bunch of my microfiber cloths.

I watched Passengers today because of Chris Pratt's face and chest and especially arms. They are a siren song unto themselves. Both of my friends agreed that they would've woken not only one other person but many other people.

As a goon, I probably would've just masturbated to hot guys in their pods, ripped through everyone's personal belongings and files and tried to decide the best place to leave my corpse in the end. Being alone for 90 years on a luxury ship sounds loving amazing. I'd video every minute of it and leave the whole log for the crew. I'd be a legend, dammit.

My friend gave me a very deep massage last night, and since I apparently don't feel pain like a normal person, she probably overdid it. So now I have a dull ache in my hands and arms that's slightly annoying.

I'm back at work after the holidays, and I had to write an email to my bosses basically asking for more work (I literally have no work to do), and for some reason, it's really kicking my anxiety into maximum overdrive. I've been coming and going the long way just to avoid walking by their offices. Stupid brain! I thought we were past this! Just work like normal!

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
I logged in to pay my mortgage and the amount I owed was twice as much as it should be, and it caused me to wonder if I really did pay December, and go back through the transactions, and I saw December WAS missing, got concerned, did more looking, and saw a payment on 11/29, but no payment for the start of November, so went further back and finally found two payments for Oct, the 1 and 29th, so that sort of answered if I had paid all of last year...I did, but was still wondering why I "owed" twice as much.

So called them up and it turns out they changed something on their back end so that if you're at the start of a month it now shows the amount you owe for that month AND the next month...WTF? The Feb payment is due on Feb 1, I get that it's technically due by then, so I guess you could show it to me now, but on the flip side of that, nothing is "late" until after the 15th of the month. Their previous system would only show next month's as due when you were past the 15th, seeing rear end I imagine most people pay it in the first week of the month. Why did they switch? The operator even said they've had TONS of calls about that today.

At the very least send out an email or put a notice on the accounts page that you've changed how it shows the total due so people like me don't freak out.

That's a completely useless "upgrade" so I'm guessing some middle management idiot decided it would be THE BEST THING EVER and pushed it through, and people just went with it cause he's either the boss's kid or he just won't shut up about it.

My FWP is that paypal somehow refunded a payment I sent back by using my bank account instead of the paypal balance I had, which is pretty damned weird. It's not affecting my money or anything, but it's god damned odd that it moved it out of the bank without moving the money from the actual balance.
