Come! We must fly!


I drank a lot last night and had a bad case of the beer shits this morning. I thought it was all out of my system but while driving to work, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" came on the radio. I never realized how much bass was actually in that song, but this morning the vibrations went straight from my speakers into the floor, up my legs and into the seat. It rumbled my rear end in a top hat enough to the point where I had to get out of my car and take a liquid poo poo on the side of an extremely busy road. Luckily I had a few McDonald's napkins in my car to wipe with.

I got the HG Hashmal model kit, and it only came with one Pluma. Which wouldn't be a huge problem, except that Bandai doesn't make a standalone Pluma kit. Even thought the Pluma in the Hasmal kit is on it's own sprue, completely separate from the Hashmal parts. The box even shows the Hashmal surrounded by a swarm of Pluma, like in the show. But there's no way to get more Pluma aside from just buying a bunch of Hashmal kits, which is crazy

My boss who is quitting is trying to poach me to the company she's going to work for and I'm having a very hard time coming up with a list of reasons to say no.
But it's a big pay increase which makes me afraid it'll interfere with my disability check :ohdear: I can't work more than 24 hours a week, OR make more than X amount of take-home pay per month. And I don't actually know what the numeric value of X is...

is this one of those If I get this new job i'll be payed more but be disqualified from medicaid/ebt and the pay increase isn't enough to cover it? I'm unfamiliar with how ssdi works.

If I get the new job I'll get a higher average paycheck, but 16 hours will become my new weekly limit. I would make more if I were scheduled for a full 24 at my current location... But I'm not. At the other place, my limit has to go down or I'll violate the 'x amount of take-home pay per month' part of it.

Basically, stay here: smaller average paychecks, occasional big ones.
Go there: bigger average paychecks, but no more big ones.

Reliable paycheck is much better, as it's easier to budget around (though I totally get wanting the occasional big one).

I'm hungry, but I'm also really comfortable in bed right now.

Also my body did that stupid thing it does every now and then where it decides it only needed about 4 hours of sleep to be fully rested. I feel fine now, but I know it'll kick my rear end in about 12 hours.

I can't decide how I want to fit my new 3DS into my life. Do I lug it around with me to pick up Streetpass/steps/coins thing? Or do I just keep it at home since I'm generally already lugging stuff around and I really don't want to lose a system accidentally?

The Amazon app defaults to using gift cards and THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE IT TO MY AMAZON POINTS CREDIT CARD. I have the premiere card where I get 5% back in real dollars and so, no, I want to use that card to get the points because its a LOT of dollars, and the app doesn't let me change it. I can't click the button, it won't let me. It's either some bug in the app or they are assholes that make me have to go to my computer to use it to be able to chose the right payment method.

Also ,visual voicemail is absolutely worthless and i have to click on the messages like 10 times if I want to listen to them, and 999999.9% of the time it just backs out and doesn't even play the message so I have to keep clicking on it a billion times just for it to even start. Oh and then sometimes it just cuts out in the middle of the message.

gently caress you apple, you're probably doing this just to make me ~upgrade to the newest phone~gently caress you I am mad.

Oh yeah and my microwave is a piece of poo poo, it worked for about 2 weeks and now it just blows the circuit every 2 minutes or so so I have to keep re-turning on the power strip back on after it flips it off. And I'll heat up a small thing and the side feels like it's 200 degrees. Thank god I have a power strip that flips but at the same time it's so annoying that I have to keep turning it back on. I can't afford a new microwave so I'm just perpetualy going to have to stand in front of this piece of poo poo while I cook anything.

are you able to just call your own mobile number to access your voicemail? I hate that my phone has a specific app for voicemail and it's the only way that I'll see notifications of messages but I can still call my own number if I need to.

I'm not a hobo I just like cooking improv food.

Hobo cake is flour, butter, cocoa powder, sugar, milk and an egg mixed into a mug and microwaved for a minute with a spoon of ice cream on top. It's as good as cake plus warm and cheap.

It's gone a long way towards relieving my seasonal depression, and my head feels clearer, like I'm coming out of a fog I didn't know was there. Impaired cognition can be a symptom of vitamin d deficiency. It's entirely possible it's all in my head but after a month of the supplements I feel more awake than I have in a long time

I ordered something very important and it says it's on the truck for delivery but I want it now. now. NOW!!!

And then what if the truck driver is lazy and is like, "eh it's end of the day, gently caress the rest of these packages" so I'd have to wait another day.

It's happened a few times for me, but what really grinds my gears is when they just mark it as delivered and bring it by the next day, making it seem like it was either stolen off my porch or delivered to the wrong address. I literally had a customer service person at Lasership tell me that "probably he marked it as delivered so he wouldn't get dinged for not making all his deliveries."

OTOH I've had same-day delivery packages that showed "shipping today" until like 6PM and then when I give up for the day, I go take out the trash at 9PM and it's sitting on my doorstep so who the gently caress knows with those guys

I ate corn and peanuts yesterday (not together), and didn't realize it, but today I'm pooping like crazy and frankly it's rather annoying.

I'm also out of paper towels. This has nothing to do with the above mentioned pooping, but it is annoying.

I may be losing my job soon due to compounding issues affecting my performance (Multiple, poorly scripted or under trained accounts on top of my main one, 12 hour days leaving me mentally, emotionally and physically drained by the end of them and having very few colleagues on the weekend, and of them I'm the most knowledgeable on one of the more annoying accounts so pressure there too on top of weekends being very busy partially because of only having 2 or 3 people in..). Luckily I'll be able to get a government credit after while looking for a new one (If it comes to it) that will at least pay the main bills, so I'll just need to be careful with smaller expenses like food and clothing, while applying for new jobs, however long it will take.

I moved states to help build and run a very small startup with a family member; it's fun and the opportunity to make tons of money definitely exists, but it's also completely unrelated to the field I went to college for.

I stay optimistic but lurking deep down is the knowledge that if things don't work out I'll be trying to break into a super-competitive STEM field with a degree from 2008 and 8 years of employment in an unrelated field where my job reference would be a blood relation

I ordered something a week ago and they just got around to shipping it yesterday. If I get lucky, it might show up here by Saturday. It wasn't terribly important, but come ooooon. The worst part is that my Prime subscription was up a week or two before I placed this order, and I chose not to renew because I felt like I wasn't making much use of it. Now it's like they're purposefully dragging their feet to convince me to come back. gently caress you, Amazon. <:mad:>

Also, sometimes when UPS delivers here they don't even try and just mark it "business closed" but this is a goddamn residence what the gently caress you guys

Our cats have worms. No idea where they got it, everyone lives inside. And so our foster kittens and cat were exposed, so everyone gets medicine. Plus my kitten Bug has a UTI, so vet trip this Saturday. Thank all the gods I already got my 50lb bag of food grade diatom earth for backup worming.

Nests changed in Pokemon Go, and all the ones around me are poo poo. I bought a zoo membership for the great spawns there; last one was Horsea. This one is the loving Paras crab. I wonder if the zoo notes how some weekends it is loving crazy busy and other, no one has their phones out. They make bank on this game.

As for deliveries...I loving HATE IT when I have a delivery to a home business, and it's a mechanic. Because I go to the house, no one is there. I hit the mechanic garage, no one there. Because everyone went from one building to the next, so we miss each other like some poo poo romcom. I also loooove COD orders. No, i can only take checks, sir, stop offering me the sweaty 20 dollar bills and asking if I can make change. Do I look like I have a register on me?

Also, gently caress the third party couriers like Dynamex and Intelliquik, the ones who mark DELIVERED when they pick up orders, and orders may or may not show up on time if at all. I deal with so many angry people who are missing packages because someone used a third party service, and some fucker in a 1988 Ford shoved their box in the cab and drove away. Five hours ago.
