She talks like a mix between a dementia-addled 1950's racist and the mom from Arrested Development, but with less direction or conviction and even more anger, if you can imagine that.

Had Subway for dinner. Ordered a chicken bacon ranch, with lettuce and green peppers. Got home, realized they gave me mayonnaise instead of the titular ranch. It was disappointing.

One of the worst feelings is when you're expecting one flavor, and then you get something totally different. It's like your brain hits a speed bump.

I leave for another expedition tomorrow, two months off the coast of New Zealand drilling into a volcano, and mostly I'm just going to miss my fiancee :( Gets harder to leave every time.

Also I have to pack and that's never fun.

Agreed. I work as a touring roadie and I thought I had more time off between tours, but I landed another job that starts in 4 weeks and lasts for 10 months. Having to pack for warm weather, cold weather, and everything in between sucks.

My mom keeps asking to hang out with me because she spends so much time on the road but when we hang out she just spends all her time on her phone or complaining about her exes. She never asks me how I'm doing and if I don't want to hang out with her she literally whines at me. Like a puppy. I've tried to talk to her about it but she recently befriended a bunch of 4channer dudes so I literally cannot talk to her without a racist tirade happening.

Also I'm pretty sure I bombed my English final but my grade's good enough I'm not too worried. Just annoyed I misunderstood what we were doing and didn't think to clarify.

We moved the other day, and as a bit of a moving present / he-wanted-to-offload-it, my brother gave me a fold-out table for my computer. It replaced a computer desktop I've had for literally most of my life, from the house I grew up in, to the dorm I went to, to my former apartment.

Outside of a divot in the middle since it's a fold-out, it's perfect. The keyboard is at the perfect height. I can type with ease (and a lot less typos), my posture is better because of the height I'm able to sit, etc.

That's the (first world) problem: everything lovely muscle memory I've learned is out of the window. It's just weird.

late edit to add something since I'm the last poster anyway: I just want to connect my Windows 7 computer to my wireless headphones. I bought an adapter, I installed the adapter, the adapter is supposedly working, my computer claims it has it noticed my headphones as a bluetooth device... but the actual connection between the two devices just isn't happening. It's the kind of technical problem where googling the problem spits back nothing but people who are having the same issue as me.

I have to get a specific type of probiotic acidophilus for my pets. The only place around that sells that kind of stuff doesn't have the right kind and doesn't take special orders.

Amazon has it but I'm pretty sure this stuff has to stay cold and AZ doesn't do refrigerated boxes.

Buying from the vet is a 300% markup.

I've had to tell mental health workers that "I have a cat, I'm not self-harming" before. It's especially awkward when they already know you're depressed.

An EMT yelled at me because I had a cat scratch on my arm and didn’t believe it to be that. Dude, you can see the dozens of old self-harm scars, how does this one tiny one that is 100% different from the rest register as self-harm? It was like 1/3” long, randomly placed on my arm, and very obviously a cat scratch. A tiny one. For not self-hurting people: imagine an EMT saying your paper cut is seen as self harm. That’s how stupid it was.

Oh and I wasn’t depressed I was in the ambulance for a completely unrelated reason. A legitimate medical reason. So there was absolutely no reason for the EMT to start harassing me about “suicidality.”

What kind of fukken EMT was that? If I was really convinced it was self harm, I'd just put it in the report and give that info to the nurse/doc during handoff at the hospital, probably behind the corner. And also only if it's one of the lovely hospitals that I know skims over stuff like that. And that's two big "ifs."

It was pounded into my head that EMTs/Paramedics do not diagnose, and do not treat diagnosis. We are supposed to be completely objective, and treat symptoms. Don't care that someone may have terminal lung cancer, only care that right now they're not breathing. I can treat the symptom of "not breathing," can't do poo poo about the underlying cause in an ambulance. Hell, even when someone is stabbed with a tree branch or something, we only stabilize and treat possible bleeding, we don't remove the loving branch. Symptoms, not diagnosis.

They probably did put in their notes “suicidal” or similar but thank god the doctors in the ER weren’t morons and didn’t commit me cause I was in a legit medical emergency.

“Hmm I see a small cut on your arm”
“Yeah I used to cut myself but haven’t done it in many years”
“Well this one looks fresh” (literally used the word fresh)
“It’s a cat scratch I have 7 cats”
* doesn’t believe me, proceeds to berate me about being depressed/suicidal

My new house location triples my travel times to most things.

It's only a first world problem because my original travel times to everything was stupid short, so my travel times have gone from "insanely envious" to "completely normal and not at all anything to complain about".

Like, I can't bitch that it takes me twenty minutes to get to a certain movie theater, just because it used to take five and change.

There are rare kids that are super well behaved. It’s like a beautiful rare pearl.

But I can’t stand their voices.

I work in very busy gift shops at one of the top family destinations in my half of the country. It's utter chaos. Herding 100 cats on catnip would be easier to deal with.

I also saw a toddler get into a flamingo enclosure today as I was leaving work. The dad retrieved him but good luck not getting bird flu, kiddo.
