My downstairs neighbours are cooking what smells like yeast mixed with onions and it's stinking the whole place out, I opened a window but that's just blown the smell throughout the house. Also I had a wisdom tooth out (for free) and my jaw still hurts four days later.

You ever found a good pen? I mean like you were just picking though random ones at work or the bank or wherever and you find a really, really good pen that has no earthly business being there, so you take it home and cherish that goddamn pen? The kind you actually give a poo poo about and actually buy refills for? I just left mine at work and there's no way in hell it'll still be there on my next shift.  godspeed, little gel ballpoint Pilot. You will be the metric I judge all future writing implements by.

My apartment is a loving Pen Bermuda Triangle. I'll buy a pack of 20, then by the end of the week half of them will have vanished without a trace.

Thin Privilege posted: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 Yeah, luckily I got it fixed the next day. The manager on duty that night wasn't sure what to do because he's still kind of new there, and the one guy that knows how to fix this kind if poo poo had already gone home for the night. Then I discovered an obscure part of the menu that allows you to declare negative numbers of tips, and that seems to have fixed things.

The tap to pay units are to the left of the door on streetcars and to the right of the door on buses. And the the subway is just a lawless free for all, depending on where the station is in its upgrades.

Wow, someone just copied one of my Youtube videos and put it up on their own channel. It's weird but I'm also... flattered? I wonder if this is how HBO feels with all the piracy.

I missed recording Supergirl last night, it just didn't happen, so I've now missed episode 2 and can't find anywhere to watch it online. Youtube is just a bunch of reaction videos and all the other places are laden with viruses, and it's not available on catchup.  YAY I FOUND A WAY!

I set out to walk to the local Bunnings, somehow walked right past it, and when I came back I discovered it's currently closed anyway. And I'd planned to go to the library on the way home, but I forgot until I was already half way home on a bus, so I'll have to do that tomorrow as well.

I woke up last Tuesday with a stiff neck. I stupidly played 4 games of softball in the next 2 days because our team was in the playoffs. It's not stiff anymore but it's been a week straight of nearly unbearable pain emanating from my spine. I have a $7000 deductible on my health insurance, and I can't afford to miss work or go to the doctor. I would do nearly anything to be pain free for 5 minutes at this point. America!

Bought a new Pixel 2 and an empty obviously tampered with box was delivered. 6 days of getting dicked around by Project Fi customer support being told a new phone would go out. Then finally told no more devices available but you'll get a refund if the investigation finds no fault. I just did a chargeback with my CC company and it took minutes. It's a shame because I was hoping for a no/low bloatware phone and provider.

I impulse-bought an old video game on GOG (Afterlife, by Lucasarts) and I'm irrationally hesitant to actually play it. Like, I remember having fun with it, but I also remember my annoyances with it. Also, it's a game from 1996, and no games that old hold up.

Malachite_Dragon posted:You ever found a good pen? I know exactly the pen you're talking about, it's the best pen ever and they're cheap on Amazon. I'm washing my winter down blanket for the first time ever, but I'm using a small house washer and dryer. They are definitely too small for this thing. The washer kept shaking and making loud noises like crazy due to weight imbalance so I had to manually gently caress with the blanket and knob to not break the machine, and the dryer is small and likes to tangle stuff so the blanket gets tangled and despite the machine saying "done", the tangled part is wet, and the whole thing smells like a very dirty duck, which makes me really sad because the ducks that were used to make this were very dirty when they were alive and hence lived in a horrible environment

I was genuinely excited that it was getting chillier out, because I get to use my winter jacket. Comfortable, layered, like six pockets! ... Oh yeah, two pockets ripped last year, one rip hosed with the heat retention, so I had to buy a new winter jacket. Which is a fine jacket, but it's not my favorite jacket.

So they finally re-paved the alley behind my apartment, and now people are flying through like 25 mph. It kind of worries me too, the corners are really sharp at the end because of the larger buildings there. Going like 10 mph I've had to slam on my breaks because you can't see pedestrians until you're like right up on it. I'm actually missing all the potholes that used to be back there because now I realize they were like improvised speed bumps

First World Problem, Phase 1: when it came out, I bought Sonic Mania for the PC, since I didn't have a Switch. However, I had watched an LP in the time between the Switch and PC releases, and it (unorthodoxly for me) filled my interest in playing the game for a while. First World Problem, Phase 2: Now, I own a Switch, and kinda want to play Sonic Mania... on my Switch, and not my PC. MisterBibs has a new favorite as of 03:40 on Nov 5, 2017 |

My Nexus is stuck in a loving boot loop and they refused to overnight me a new phone, instead sending it ground. Trying to explain to the assholes that I work in shipping and YES THINGS GET SHIPPED ON SATURDAY meant nothing. FWP: no phone for a few days when I need it for work. I have to visit my racist bigot dad tomorrow, and I was hoping to do some Pokemon Go beforehand, but nope. I did all my loving chores and weekend poo poo crammed in today just so I could spend hours walking parks tomorrow. I have a ride-along with a boss on Monday.

about six months ago I witnessed a very minor car accident (just a bump, nobody was injured), and stopped to give my name as a witness as I could clearly see whose fault it was (idiot white van driver cutting across two lanes without looking). I thought nothing more of it, but have now started getting several calls a week from dodgy claims companies wanting to help me claim for the "car crash I was involved in", so I guess my name is on some database somewhere in a list of people in the crash. They also want to discuss claims for the assessment of damage to my car, which was nowhere near the two that actually collided. Claims scammers

I had to go vote in the municipal elections for the first time because one of the candidates is a loving lunactic. Never had to bother before since all candidates were more or less the same and/or there was no way to beat the previous mayor, but insane talk radio that push for that new rear end in a top hat scare me

My bf, after years and years of REFUSING to get a smart phone for a variety of lame reasons somehow just got an iPhone X. I'm obviously irritated because I spent years telling him that smart phones are good, but that's not the issue. The issue is that he's using emojis out the rear end. He didn't do this when he was using iMessage on his iPad but now that he has the phone... it's 🤤😐😵🐱🐻. When I asked, "are you only going to use emojis from now on," he replied with 🤷♂️ /sigh.

I just realized that Netflix was withholding a lot of stuff from me because my account language was set on german! Why the hell would you do that. At least I got some seasons of series I like to watch to catch up now. Edit: Just to clarify I would only be able to see the season when the German dub or sub has been made for it...
