The public, free charging station for Tesla's in my neighborhood is next to a really hipsterish burger place (Smash Burger). I have to walk a quarter mile through the massive parking lot to get to a Mr Pickleman's sandwich shop.

I like that song, but a lyric annoys me - "clap along if you feel like a room without a roof" seems to imply that you need cheering up, like you are feeling incomplete, but rooms without roofs do exist, they are called COURTYARDS, and they are lovely. A room without a roof should be having a great time, all the security of being indoors while having a massive hole to let fresh air in.

I already make very little but it's a smart move in the long run.

Had to draw, sorry for my lack of skills



Also my cats vet bills are super expensive and my dumb condo payment posts FIVE DAYS before it was supposed to, so the combination made me go info a negatives balance on my bank account, and get fined for it. I am now completely broke and have had to steal food from my work so I could eat. Wonnderful! :911:

I also have a poo poo ton of medical bills that I can't pay. Looking forward to the collector's letters and calls. Also now I can't afford my medicine. Lol. :911::patriot::911:

Was the cat dead or alive? I'll admit, sometimes I just turn off so I can get on with the job and not break down.

Today I stink of dog poo because we have two dogs in that have had gastro surgery and they've just. Shat. Everywhere. Like, one had it caked to her backside and I felt so bad because neither of us wanted to deal with it but she clearly had it worse off since she had such a sore rear end in a top hat. Then I had to carry a 33kg dog to the freezer and it was a dog I liked which is never fun. The freezer isn't a dignified place to rest, guys. If you have the option, take your pets to be cremated yourselves.

I stubbed the poo poo out of one of my toes. Like, not "hurts for a second and it's gone" kind of stubbing, but "smashed it against a table, it's annoying to walk on, and looks like I took a hammer to it" stubbing.

I'd have someone look at it, but it's literally a stubbed toe.

I have to call LG to start the repair process on my Nexus 5X because it randomly died and started bootlooping on me last week, and I can't get far enough into the recovery menu to flash a rescue OTA. Apparently Google stopped doing RMA's on 5X's as of September. I wish my phone had broken sooner...

Luckily I hung onto my old Nexus 5 with a cracked screen. I had to Macguyver together a micro-SIM adapter to fit my Project Fi nano-SIM card into it. It works just fine, so that's good at least.

Thankfully, I learned through the past several years to back all my poo poo the gently caress up. The only thing I lost with the death of my 5X was a week of progress on a lovely idle game.

My coworker was hit by a car today. Thankfully his van is a huge rental, but the impact was still enough to blast the airbags, and he got all cut up and burned from them, somehow. He's in the hospital getting ultrasounds, so it's not like he'll never walk again, but holy gently caress, it freaks me out that he could have died this afternoon and I would have no loving clue.

His van was a loving TANK. And he says if he'd been going a little faster it would have hit his driver side door instead.

My job set a meeting for early in the morning the same day we have our Christmas party in the evening and since I live just far enough away that it's not feasible to go home inbetween I get to either stay for two extra hours or bum around on the street until the party starts.

I guess I could help set up. Or see if there's a couch and catch some Zs.

The instructor isn't interested in teaching, merely confirming you've read the material which is most likely where the quiz questions are directly sourced.

Oh definitely, 100%. If I didn't spend $100 to get the e-book version I wouldn't have gotten access to the quizzes, they're integrated directly into the book. Lectures are a waste of time. He just goes over book pages. I also can't loving stand him as a person. The way he speaks, it's always completely condescending and repetitive. He likes to say "DUH" a lot. I hate him and his class. But I'm halfway through the semester now, it's a grad requirement, it's my final semester, I just have to tough it out for another 6 weeks.

The thing is you don't even have to read the book, every question has a "read about this" button that goes right to the page and literally highlights the answer. So I'm really only complaining about having to spend the time to answer a million open book answers.

I'm about to fail a loan repayment because I never signed up for amazon prime and it just debited my account. This happened last month and I cancelled it but I guess it decided despite being the same account that I still had Prime on their US site and debited me again. What the actual gently caress.

My mom was off work sick today. I'm probably getting sick, but went in to work, where we are short staffed, dispatch is stupid, and I am doing 9 hours a day without a break.

Tonight was also the night to get our foster cats a final vet check before the cat show Saturday. My mom wanted me to go with her but she is the one in charge of all the medical for the fosters (I do all the records, the cleaning, the feeding, etc), and so she asked me to go, and I said maybe. But once I got home, I was past exhausted, and she wanted me changed and ready in 15 minutes. I told her I wasn't up to going, because this isn't at a vet's office, but halfway across town in the rescue director's house.

So it's a busy chatty social hour with everyone in the rescue there, and I wasn't up for it. And I also had some 20 emails to answer for the rescue, because I am the only person manning the email. So my mom got pissed, gave me the Silent Treatment while I helped her pack up the cats, and left after slamming the door.

Did I mention she has the next month of Fridays, including tomorrow, off?

I was freaking out on my way home that I changed my clock out time to like, 8:45 instead of 9:45. Easy-ish fix but it's a lot of $ for my meager hourly wage if I hosed up the clock out time and don't fix it. I need those $8 :smith:
