Bloody hell On the other hand, I loving refuse to give ground anymore. Never again will I sigh and say "Yeah ok you're right" just to avoid an argument. e. actual FWP: this isn't the Why Was Your Day lovely thread. I thought I was in there.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I was all hyped up for a spooky movie that had a good premise and it turned out to be a piece of poop. What movie was it? I was recently burned by Spectral. I thought it would be better than it was; cool sounding premise, military fighting ghosts, and it was a wet fart of a movie.

An older one called Classroom 6. Found footage about a haunted classroom. Sounded neat but turned out to just suck. Budget of like $4 and no one involved could act.

Get the implanon/nexplanon and you’ll never have them again. I think it’s like $250 without insurance but my insurance covered it fully so yours might too. Doesn’t hurt to get it put in and you don’t ever feel it.

I've my first day of work at a full time job tomorrow and the dresscode is casual but I've spent the last eight years in academia so I'm worried my sense of "casual" has completely rotted compared to what most people will think is acceptable work wear.

When in doubt just wear a polo and some slacks, and upgrade/downgrade appropriately after your first day.

I don't feel good, thrown up twice, so I called into work today. I feel guilty for calling in, especially as I have tomorrow off. I also feel stupid for apologizing to the boss, even though he said it's okay and to take care of myself.

Part of my brain is telling me to wait for a sale for Jurassic World Evolution because the concensus seems to be "flawed but good", gently caress paying 60bux for anything these days, and the fact that I don't have a lot of time to play video games, now. The other part is saying holy poo poo its Operation Genesis 2.0 and look how pretty it is and buy it nownownownow

I made a minor mistake a few weeks ago effecting the most drama-driven department in the hospital, and they raised a huge stink that completely backfired on them, prompted administration to crack down on them making up random rules other people have to follow while dealing with them, and finally got my department permission to reopen a full time position that got cut years ago. A full time night shift position that everyone wants to exist, but nobody but me wants to work  The problem was I only heard about the stink that got raised before working at a different hospital for a while so for a couple weeks I was constantly worried about losing my job or something.

An opossum I follow on instagram is getting old and their owners keep making posts that are gently but obviously trying to let people know that there's a good chance the opossum is going to die soon (months, not days) and it's super bumming me out. Why do small critters have to have such short lifespans?

I accidentally took twice the amount of hormones I should have this morning (I'd dropped a pill yesterday and couldn't find it, then I found it this morning after I'd already took my daily dose and thought "might as well"), and my emotions have been a loving mess all day.

My phone went to 4G after I walked out of the subway and OH MY GOD WAS IT SO SLOW. I think all the cheap-o carriers use 4G but claim it’s LTE because there is NO reason for it to be so slow; I’ve used 4G in this area a billion times and it’s never been this bad—and it’s rush hour in a busy area which supports my idea. I had to turn off data and turn it back on to get back on glorious LTE because Jesus it took 2.5 minutes to load a google search.

Friend A bugged me for years to try WoW. Friend A is a player who raids 3 nights a week and wanted me to raid with her. Friend B told me to try it for free and see what I liked to do. So I downloaded WoW. Made a random character and got stuck in the loving main page because there's no tutorial on how to do poo poo, there's no way to chat with the other players wandering around, and the only hint of what to do was right-click for a quest, which opened a loving map that only moved to other maps when I clicked on it. So I uninstalled the game. Even loving Overwatch had a basic tutorial! Edit: friend b has an idea where he can watch me on Facebook streaming or something and then give me a basic rundown on how to play. Because you need a coach to start?

WoW is one of the most dumbed down and newbie-friendly MMORPG games around, I’m extremely confused by your account. There’s range of lengthy tutorials not only early on but also throughout the game , both explicit and just as teaching game design elements you encounter very early into the game. Last I made a new character there (2016 I think?) it was full of glowing arrows and highlighted buttons and everything. Since then they’ve been only doubling down on accessibility angle, as far as I’ve seen. Chat is right there, just press enter. Map closes with the cross button or M or map button on the panel and is just used like Google Maps on your phone, not to do navigate through clicking on it. cinci zoo sniper has a new favorite as of 08:39 on Jul 13, 2018 |

I saw none of that. Went from design your character to a menu with areas to play in. New fwp: some assholes siphoned gas from our work vans. Busted my van's gas door and then spilled half the tank in the parking lot. No security cameras. This happens every year.

Nordick posted:There's some kinda renovation going on in the apartment below me and the drilling and banging noises are driving me up the loving wall. My neighbour has been remodelling his garden into some sort of tiled hellscape, involving angle grinders and diggers. The noise and fumes have been wafting into my garden so we cannot use it for anything. For two weeks. And this in the middle of an historic heat wave. He's a nice guy otherwise but pulling that poo poo in the middle of summer holidays has pissed me and the wife off to no end. Things are going well when it is enough to piss us off like that, so it's a genuine FWP. Bonus: he's using underpaid Eastern European workers who don't give a poo poo so it will all look awful next year after rains and frost. Mzuri has a new favorite as of 17:35 on Jul 13, 2018 |

I've got two problems today. The first is that I just did a long overdue upgrade to my PC, and I want to take it for a test drive with some of the AAA video games I haven't played in the past few years. BUT for once in my life I have plans to go out like all weekend long. Which leads to my second problem: about a year ago I made a wish on a monkey's paw "I wish some other kind of beer would get popular, I'm tired of IPAs" and a finger curled inward and every craft brewery in the nation rediscovered sours, which taste like poo poo, and I keep ordering them on accident because craft breweries generally think that "DEMURE SEX LIZARD" is sufficient description for a beer and sigh at you contemptuously through their immaculately trimmed beards when you ask for something that doesn't taste like the runoff from a rotting citrus orchard.

Well, fortunately the work only lasted for a couple days, and far as I can tell my floor is at the same height as it was before. Though frankly I'd gladly give a few inches of room height if it meant I never have to hear such racket again. As for another noise related FWP, this morning my sleep was interrupted first by the neighbour's harridan yelling into her telephone outside, a second time by some maintenance van or whatever idling its rickety diesel engine for what seemed like an eternity just a few dozen feet from my bedroom window, and because these two weren't noisy enough, a third time by - I poo poo you not - a loving F-18 literally doing aerobatics right above the neighbourhood. God I loving hate noise.

I'm finding that I'm managing to step on and often undo my shoelaces more than usual. I think its because of their age (do laces stretch over time?), because I didn't seem to have this issue of tripping over my drat laces every hour like I used to.
