I overdid my core during my workout yesterday, so my abs hurt more than I was expecting.

I generally get out of bed like a vampire, but they are sore enough that I'm going to have to roll out of bed instead of just lifting my torso up for a while.

Your toes must be really strong to be able to clamp to the bedframe.

Nah, just tucked in sheets so that, at least torso-wise, I can totally pull it off.

Another FWP: I get mildly annoyed when I go to a store and expect some higher quality service, and I don't get/need it. I went to a running shoe store for new shoes, since they advertise in-depth shoe fitting assistance / gait analysis / that sort of stuff, and I guess my feet are normal enough that I got a pair of shoes without anything fancy. Still thought it would've been cool to experience it.

I got rid of The Sims 3 from my computer so I wouldn't be tempted to spend all day making Sims, moving them into a neighbourhood, getting their house set up exactly how I want it and then immediately losing all interest and doing the exact same thing the next time.

Just like killing sims in the pool, this is the proper way to play the game.

My supervisor is quitting because her bosses are dickweeds. Her reasons are perfectly valid and I wish her the best, but I really don't want to put up with having yet another supervisor here. Especially since she was the first one in the string of 7 or so who actively did her drat job and looked after us guards at her location :sigh:

I've been in similar situations and it suck, friend. Sorry.
The worst is when you get a new manager in and they go, "HO HO HO TIME FOR ME TO CHANGE EVERYTHING SO AS TO SECURE MY LEGACY!" but really have no clue what the day-to-day operations are like.
I'm so happy that my current manager just leaves my team alone unless we come to him with an issue but he could moved to another department with as little as 24 hour notice.

FWP: There are not a huge amount of advancement opportunities at my job and the biggest ones require you to move across the country.
The worst part is that it's not "required" but there is a culture that says you have to go to another site to advance to avoid stagnation.
So the only people that get promoted are either single or have very understanding families.

My friend can't hang out tonight with me because her estranged husband wants to take her out to dinner (and likely hint she should pay for it because he is in work placement training still), and her roommate is having some crisis that only my friend can solve.

I couldn't go to two parks I wanted to Pokemon Go hunt at today because the fuckers at the Dept of Transportation decided to pull closures on every major highway so traffic is hosed everywhere.

My coworker and I were bitching about something over the phone, and he put me on speakerphone when he went to pick up a delivery, and didn't tell me. So some customers heard me cussing out the fact I was blocking loving traffic trying to make a turn, and gently caress gently caress gently caress Maps because the turn led to a dead-end! At least the customer is cool with hearing me close to explode a dozen fucks in one minute. I hope.

:respek::sigh: I know this feeling really well. I used to be really great friends with one of my exes, and... something changed. I'm still not entirely sure what, but now the few times we do talk I have to walk on eggshells. Heaven forbid I get offended by something she say, too, or *I'm* the bad guy for getting all worked up. I'm not entirely sure how you expected me to not be hurt by saying "You weight 2.5x as much as me and my wife, actually :/" to me in a text, woman, how is this a surprise. When you knew I was (and still am) actively trying to lose weight. How the hell is that encouraging, in any fashion?

Oh good lord do I know that all too well. Feel like I should actually spend some time in E/N over this. I'm admittedly hurting pretty badly and that was part of it. She'd say, do, or threaten to do things that were 100% not acceptable. As in "lines you never cross if you value the relationship and there is no excuse, ever" types of things then act like I was the jerk for finding it unacceptable. It got to the point that I was the bad guy for not being willing to put up with bad behavior.

Why yes I do just love being yelled at over stupid poo poo. That's the best thing ever! I'll just sit here and listen intently while you scream at me because I asked where one of my books was.

Reminds me of my last two girlfriends as well and some other women I briefly saw over the years. I...have a knack for finding the worst women.

I had a manager do this, for whatever reason she decided she absolutely HAD to write someone up to show that she was capable I guess, so she picked the navy veteran who's knee was injured in Afghanistan because he missed a day due to have the hinge in his knee replaced. He told the previous manager well in advance too, but the people above her didn't do anything about his complaint because it was 'just a warning' and not a real reprimand :shepface:

Then the company sold the building without giving any of us notice, I was literally told I was laid off ten minutes before my last shift ended. The pay was nice though :(

Probably all a setup, but in one of our fish club groups, a lady getting out of the hobby had boxes of brand new supplies, poo poo she had hoarded and never used. gently caress, none of the Amazon boxes had been opened. So she posted in a group email about it, with the only catch you had to take all 20 boxes. I emailed her within minutes because gently caress, I help host a free aquarium expo every March (the ONLY ONE in our loving state) and we could use the supplies as raffle prizes, as donations, etc. Well, someone else emailed her just minutes before I did, and got the lot of it.

Okay fine.

Now the dude has been posting pictures of everything he got, from lights to decor, and setting prices for everything and urging people to come get the great deals before he puts everything on eBay.

You loving fucker, I hope those boxes are infested with scabies.

Tonight they're making pork with onions and chicken rice again.

The past few nights I was half asleep thinking, "why am I drooling so much?" Well I just realized it. Currently drooling like crazy and I'm not even hungry.

The guys above me just hammer drilled. At 10:30pm. Just a short BZZZZT. Why do they do this? It appears they drill in 1/2 inch at a time and do it many times during the week to make the hole, instead of just doing the whole hole at once. This makes no sense. :confused: And considering how much they've been doing it, they must have like 50+ things on their walls. I miss the opera singer :(

In the summer I heard the elevator noise and now I can't unhear it. Half the time I can't sleep because it's just like vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmp every 20 seconds.

It's an old building, yes, but whoever designed it is a moron or cruel or both. Let's make it so the only place you can put your bed is next to 2 elevators and someone else's kitchen! For the neighboring apartment, let's make it so the bedroom is bordering on your neighbor's living room, where they will most likely put a TV (or record player? That thing with the big horn sticking out. Whatever it was in the 30s) on the wall bordering your bedroom! Also let's put a poo poo ton of asbestos in here!!!!!!!

People on guinea pig forums are absolute lunatics.
So many of them know everything and you shouldn't listen to anyone but them or your pig will die.

And then another person with the same attitude responds and they always fight.

I should have guessed when the person running the local rescue accused me of murdering our pig because he died three months after adoption. Bitch, you said he was 100% healthy but the vet found a URI and two separate ear infections and a nasty GI problem. Go gently caress yourself.

I am taking a break from rescue in a few weeks, once this batch of kittens is gone. After three years I am burned the gently caress out.

I do remember, years ago, I wanted to adopt a parrolet, so I looked into the local bird rescues for a sun conure. Every single one had a 10 page adoption agreement, and part of it read you had to have members of the rescue able to come to your house AT ANY TIME to check on the bird. You also had to keep them updated about any moving situations, and had to return the bird if you moved, even just across the city. I did not get a bird.

What was wrong with cat litter, ANUSTART? It's loving litter!

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
They're saying they're turned off the rescue centre because they saw the owners berating their kids in public over some cat litter. At least that's how I parse it.

I learned to accept the hatred and phobias that have existed in society for a long time as what they are and not judge things too harshly. I watch old cartoons from previous decades and I still laugh.

Being a bad person is normal and we all do it. I don't get upset about it much and can appreciate a joke as long as it is good enough.
