It's crazy to me that a country where people won't shut up about personal freedoms, property rights, etc. also has this super common setup where your neighbours get to tell you what your house and yard have to look like.

Oh, this has been A Day: Work is supposed to be helping me out with a moving bonus but they dragged their heels on it so I still haven't gotten it. Should have had it deposited today. Thankfully, a friend offered to float me the money for a couple weeks just in case. We looked at a really nice apartment yesterday and put in an application. Got an answer back today: we got denied due to bad credit. The apartment manager liked us a lot though, so she went to bat for us and said that we could still get approved with a co-signer, and they'll hold the apartment for a few days while we do that. So we need to recruit another friend to help us out tomorrow. After the move is done at the end of the month, we need to get our free annual credit reports and see what the hell happened with our credit. Our dog ate some grapes off the kitchen table when we weren't paying attention. We were distracted playing with our nephew. So we had to rush him to the vet since we couldn't get him to throw up. He's okay now. Things could have been much worse, of course. But man, this has been so stressful. I just want this apartment hunting and moving process to be done already.

I broke my wrist. I know how much worse it could have been. My medical bills are covered, I have decent painkillers, and I don't appear to have significant nerve damage. My cast is coming off in a week and being replaced by a removable splint so I can wash easier. But it still loving sucks. I want to work out, play video games and do crafts, but three things I can't do are working out, playing video games, and doing craft. I can't even go running because sweat makes my wrist hurt and a side-effect of other meds I'm on is I sweat more. The only real way I can pass the time is watch poo poo on youtube or netflix or something but there's nothing I want to watch because all I want to do is the stuff I can't. I can maybe do chores but whenever I try my housemates sook at me and try to help, but when I tell them how they can actually help they just...don't do that?! Also my hemorrhoids are flaring up again from the opiates. Three months I have until I can lift heavy things again, they said. It's been a week. If I didn't already have depression this would have given it to me.

I was the only one on an international field school out of 18 people who didn't get jet lagged after travelling across the Pacific. I actually turned more normal. Got up at 6 am without an alarm no problem every day except one when we all drank a poo poo ton of home made rice wine out of clay pots in the Borneo highlands at a stranger's wedding we somehow got invited to. First world problem: needing twice as much alcohol as a Canadian to get half as drunk as a Malaysian. They were blitzed way before any of us were.

Why the gently caress, if you have a Comcast account, you can’t use certain apps or websites (particularly, TLC right now), when you’re under a different WiFi network? I want to watch My 600lb Life but can’t; I’ve done the workarounds, the xfinity app works and the a&e app works but not the TLC app. It says “this station is not included in your service” but I watch that channel all the time at home! I am so pissed off. I know Comcast is evil and the devil so I shouldn’t be surprised but omg I just want to watch this show, why can’t I just log in and watch it?!?!?!??!? gently caress youuuuuuuuu

We're staying with a friend this week while we apartment-hunt. (We got approved for our first pick yesterday  )Said friend's parents own two cockatoos. They scream a lot. The parents encourage it by yelling at the birds when they get to be too much, instead of ignoring the screaming and rewarding the quiet times with treats. There's also no door to the downstairs area and nothing to block the noise when one of us gets a bad headache or just wants to rest for a while. Even my earbuds don't do much.

DizzyBum posted:I found your problem. Comcast should be blown up with a nuclear bomb somehow. I should have mentioned that I’m using my moms login for this stuff, hence the workarounds. I personally pay $65/mo for 150mgps on a different internet provider because I live in a White Neighborhood and they cover my area. There are many many many areas that Comcast is the only option available and it ludicrously expensive. All of my coworkers make minimum wage like me— or $2 more/hr for the store manager- and the majority live in the literal ghetto (read: Black Neighborhoods) pay $150/mo for loving 25mgps. My boyfriend in the suburbs pays $69/mo for 19 mgps. He was like, “they raised my rate from $65 to $69 but I went up from 15mgps!” For all of them Comcast is the only option available. E: my building management was considering some “bundle” where all units would get basic cable from Comcast (I.e. basic tv you get for free plus like, ESPN or something) which would raise our rent “just a little bit.” They got so many angry letters and complaints that that idea went out the door reaaaaal quick.  Summary: kill Comcast. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 21:05 on Jan 20, 2018 |

This is really annoying - I paid my Council Tax on the 5th, and have the bank statement to prove it went out, but the council apparently never got it because I've got a letter telling me I missed a payment. Now I'm gonna have to set off slightly earlier on Monday morning to head down to the council office before work to sort this poo poo out.

If you're eating fried food who cares about the mayo on it. If you're eating fried food often enough that not eating mayo with it would change anything at all to you overall health, then the problem isn't the mayo, it's that you're eating way too much fried food. -- I got a nice check for Xmas... but now I have to go out that check in my account so I either need to go to the bank or find the app for my bank and figure out how to deposit a check with a picture. So much work

Have to fly back home on Tuesday, then hire movers and finish packing. It's gonna be a stressful week. Thankfully, we got approved for a place on Friday and we gave them the security deposit already. So we're able to spend a few days relaxing.

I've probably bitched about this before, but whatever: my Fitbit is acting up a bit. It used to be that when the thing poo poo the bed about recording my heartrate, it would just swap between you have a slower heart rate than professional swimmers or you are tachycardic by hummingbird standards? Now the drat thing has decided that it's just not going to record my pulse when I'm anything less than a brisk jog, leading to my resting-heart-rate numbers being off. I know I shouldn't care, but it's low-key stressful all the same.
