MisterBibs posted:My Fitbit's inner heart rate monitor has decided, at least a couple times this week, that my heart is racing. I'd be worried that my heart was actually racing, except that each of the times its done this is when I've had the thing off my wrist to shower/etc. I leave mine in my locker at work since I work with food and we’re not allowed watches etc., and I’ve noticed it sometimes picks up a heart rate somehow while it’s in there.

Unless you like your drinks watered down and dispensed from a nozzle that hasn't been cleaned in months if you're lucky. I wanted 2 unsweetened iced teas and it was like 1 am so all the grocery stores were closed and vending machines don’t carry unsweetened iced teas, and also where am I supposed to find a vending machine?

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you just got out of your car and yelled at some other customer. So tell me, please, what the gently caress gives you that right? Maybe that person was given a cheeseburger when they specifically told the employees that they are lactose intolerant. Maybe they were given a beef burger, but they cannot eat red meat and that's why they ordered chicken. What makes your loving dollar drink so much more important than that person's order? So important that you feel the need to yell at that other person?

The lady held up the line *e:have to add she was yelling for over ten minutes—and I assume more cause I peeled out at 13 min—and had no receipt or food to prove her order was wrong. And $100, since others were peeling out too, on that type of late-rear end night shift (depending on location but def. here) is a ton of money. It’s not a corporate owned store, so it affects the person who owns the place directly. You’re right, I definitely worded it wrong. And used too many curse words. Same edit: at my store (not McDonald’s) I would have have just given her some free food to get her screaming face away but due to what happened it’s pretty much certain to me that the corporate or franchise policy is to not allow giving free food without a receipt or food.

Actually that is another first world problem related to that: food cost. You’re only allowed to purchased food from certain companies. So while you can get lettuce at 2$/lb across the street you can only buy it at $10/lb from AssholeEnterprisesInc because Corporate said so, even if you’re a franchisee you have no choice except AEI. Summary: gently caress corporations, and gently caress rear end in a top hat customers who yell at minimum wage employees. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 02:11 on Aug 31, 2018 |

It’s not a corporate owned store, so it affects the person who owns the place directly. When I worked at a carry-out food place, the managers all had their own opinions, but the owner was "you're unhappy? this order is free and so is your next one" that normally calmed people right the gently caress down. Except that one time a person found a dead mosquito on their food. No coming back from that. It was a fluke and probably not even our fault, but it was disgusting. It ended with a "is there anything I can do that would make up for this and keep you as a return customer?" "Nope" "Well, here's your money back and have a nice day." Capitalism is the ultimate first world problem.

My new job is a pretty easy gig, where they basically pay me to stand there and look nice and greet people and drink all of the tea in the break room. Unfortunately it's also really painful to just stand in one spot forever, and nearly every muscle in my body is sore today because I'm a loving goon. I'm also working at a huge nerd convention this weekend that I signed up for while unemployed and depressed and desperate for work. Kill me.

My mom thought it was cute to feed the new kitten bread. Little chunks. So now Koi, an adult cat, leaps on the counter and rips open any bread bags you leave out. And pretty much anything else. And she has trained the other cats to do it too. Not so cute now, is it, bitch? edit: I was asked to stay late by an hour at work today, and declined. Now I feel bad because someone else had to stay late instead. Cowslips Warren has a new favorite as of 05:45 on Sep 1, 2018 |

I was subjected to the muzzie film upwards of 20 times and I retained absolutely nothing language wise from it. Muzzy being an alien who feeds on clocks and the main plot is actually very, very little to do with Muzzy at all and mostly about a vespa owner searching for love and defeating a clone army is all I remember.

Hold up. I thought the Muzzy movie was a half hallucination/half fever dream I had as a kid. I honestly don't think I've heard of Muzzy before today, but reading the description of it...that's it. And now that I'm dwelling on it, I remember it being in Spanish? I am so weirded out right now. Memory is insane.

This is the best derail, if derail it be, ever and I am proud. I never actually saw Muzzy, but the commercial is burned into my brain. It ate clocks? There was a vespa? There were clones? Tell me everything.

The vespa dude was a gardener at the royal palace, he has a thing going on with the princess between her ballet lessons, the army arrest him on the orders of the platonic ideal of a creepy evil cartoon villain. In the joint he shares a cell with a giant green alien who crash-landed nearby and who eats clocks. They make a daring escape and save the day.... somehow? I don't remember the end. On the way there's unnecessary discussion of numbers, the weather, various verbs and their conjugations etc, so you learn [LANGUAGE]. I just watched it in English, which may be partially responsible for my current predicament. e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNttGyxChRs

All this Muzzy talk reminded me of how we used to watch it in German class in high school, so I went to find the German version. Apparently in the past few years they remade it? https://youtu.be/y3fzeMKRkzw

burial posted:This is almost too good. What in the living gently caress. The evil villain builds a cloning machine and uses it to copy the princess because why not and the vespa riding hero finds the real princess in a hedge maze and at the end Muzzy just kind of trundles in to destroy the clones and cloning machine which surely solved the succession crisis but raises a lot of ethical questions. Then he leaves never to return. The most mindlowing thing to me is it was a BBC production and intended to teach English. The remake is whatever.

I am an alcoholic but I have been sober for almost two months, which has been great. But the void left behind has become instead taking pain killers or basically anything available such as computer duster, muscle relaxers, abusing my other psychiatric prescriptions like gabapentin, chainsmoking, whatever. I live a very isolated life and these things bring me what little comfort I can find. Getting somewhat high is secondary to the actual act of just doing something. My other FWP has been also being incredibly thirsty to the point that I drink so much water it makes me puke it all back up, making me again incredibly thirsty. Repeat repeat repeat.

How is my new off-brand Chinese watch know when I’m sleeping and when I’m not? It’s not 100% accurate but it’s creepily 98-99% accurate. The heart rate is also extremely accurate cause I have an expensive blood pressure/heart rate monitor cuff and the watch is only off by like 2 bpm on average. I’m scared you guys. This doesn’t even include the steps I take throughout the day. I’m on my feet all day, how does it know??? I know it’s gps but I’m scared. E: my favorite cat came by (yeah I know I shouldn’t have favorites) and the thing told me my heart rate went down
