I'm the opposite. More than a few beers and my hangover is severe. Two days of nausea, rapid irregular heartbeat, throat feels like it's half closed. Headache hits on day 2. Quitting drinking is the only thing I should do yet I still do it sometimes. I had 4 cans last night because I'm an idiot. I've been feeling like I'm dying all day.

That really sucks. If I have multiple drinks in a day, I'll get an appreciable hangover maybe one out of every ten times. Those are usually gone by noon if I get some coffee and a bagel. The only bad time is if I day-drink and don't pace myself.

My stupid apartment building turned off the heat cause it was 80 degrees like THREE DAYS AGO, today it is loving freezing and I’m shivering in my own drat apartment despite wearing a sweater and wool socks. Motherfuckers TURN BACK ON THE HEATERS. I want to call and yell at them but the management office isn’t open yet  E: me and inzombiac are the 2 top posters by almost twice the amount of the third complainer. I guess we have a whoooole lot of complaints about the first world. Stupid first world

I've got a bunch of bitching in here to my name, just most of it has been resolved  I have a new supervisor who is actually competent and double-checks who did what hours so everyone gets what they worked.

Online stores set up so badly you can only find out shipping costs by registering an account and going to the checkout screen, which then send you an email saying "Hey, you didn't finish checking out. Come back and buy thing" when the reason you didn't finish checking out is the shipping costs were too high and you thought "gently caress that."

To be fair, a lot of mine aren't really FWPs but there isn't a general complaining thread. For instance: Today I found out that the pay ceiling is lower than I expected. The only path up is if a specific person retires and they are still 10+ years away from that. I'll have to look for another job in about a year.

And sometimes it's a specialty store that is the only place that sells what you need without having to go out in person and hunt it down (like remanufactured vintage car or electronic components), but they're still run by, like, a Yahoo! Stores backend from 1998. And then you do find the object in person but it's double what the online store was selling it for even with shipping, so you have to come back and make the purchase. Further reinforcing the "come back and buy thing" idea from an e-commerce book that the "thinks they're very savvy" 65-year-old online store owner bought in 2004.

My FWP is my job related woes. I have a 100 % remote job with flex hours and a decent if not great pay. This is the good part, and the reason I hold onto it. The downside is that I do the same thing day in and day out, there's no real possibility for career progression or new challenges. I feel intellectually under-challenged, stressed out and disillusioned. There are always new problems and new sources of stress, but they're always of the same type - primarily deadline-related and dependent on someone else pulling their load, which is torture to my control freak self. I would like to try a change of field. But most things I actually want to do would put an end to my hobo lifestyle and I've pretty much built my current life around being able to work from everywhere. Ideally I would work part-time and try to get the intellectual stimulation from my hobbies, but I know my burden of work would remain the same, just condensed into fewer hours. Also, I can't really afford it. I guess I'll just gently slide into alcoholism while my heavily exploited worker/farmer ancestors disapprovingly shake their heads at me from beyond the grave.

Are we the same person? I just transitioned from office to 100% remote 6 months ago. Realizing it's not quite for me but I moved away from the office so now it's find a new job or keep attending meetings in PJs

I'm kinda desperate for a 100% remote job. Hell, my current job could be remote but the head of the department, "likes seeing everyone milling about". Cool, good. You live in a nice house 5 minutes away and the rest of us live in lovely apartments an hour away. Cool.

A clothing store that I shop at a lot keeps messing up the online portion of my account. So I can shop at the in-person store with no problems, but as soon as I try to do anything online, the account is unusable. Supposedly this was fixed the last time I got in contact with them, but now it's borked again. LET ME GIVE YOU MONEY FOR CUTE CLOTHES.

I just got my schedule for the week. My next day off is Friday. Yesterday was Friday. I worked yesterday. That means I'm working 7 days in a row. And I only had one day off this week.  I was supposed to have yesterday and today off, but my coworker is out of town tending to her grandmother, who ended up in intensive care earlier this week. I'm not upset about covering her shifts, and I'm glad she was able to get time off, but goddamn is there no one else that can pick up a loving shift around here? <  >

My condolences. I don’t know what type of job you work, but this poo poo happened to me in retail all the time. If you ask me, no one should work more than three days in a row if they’re only getting 20-25 hours a week. AND YET.

Some of the albums on Spotify are censored but the uncensored version isn't there. Sometimes there's both. It's irritating because it's distracting in how lovely the censoring is. It just cuts the vocals out whenever there'd be a swear word. It's extremely noticeable as it's only a few albums here and there with no rhyme or reason as to which ones are censored. The dumbest thing is that it isn't even consistent across bands. Like you'll have a band where they just say "gently caress" all the time on one album but then another one will be censored. It makes one of my favorite albums ever completely impossible to listen to. I have the physical CD of it somewhere as well as the MP3 rip I made of it but drat it, I listen to music on the intertubes now and don't want to go through extra steps to put that album on. edit: And now the uncensored version of that album is actually available what is this madness aaaadsl;kagkl;hasghkl;asdghkl;asdgkl;ansglk;ansdfgkl;h ToxicSlurpee has a new favorite as of 00:27 on Oct 18, 2018 |

I feel like I had the stupidest questions today at work, to the point it didn't even feel real. Highlights include: asking which was cheaper, the $3 or $5 ticket (answer: it's the $3 one) why bother having an unlimited ride pass when we only have one ride (answer: you can go on it more than once) can I have this $20 item for $10 because that's all I have (answer: no)

I ran into/over a curb and broke my tire and rim and now I don't have a car till Friday. It is very inconvenient. I was so happy to be at my old store cause there is parking and it's a 10-15 min drive from my house, whereas working at the other store I had to to take public transit, which took over an hour. Now I again have to take public transit for 3 whole days and I am very unhappy

You can change your withholdings at any time, and the irs encourages you to do it to get as close to a $0 tax bill/refund as possible https://www.irs.gov/individuals/irs-withholding-calculator You can't lie on your taxes to change what you owe annually, but you sure can change how much is automatically held. Hint: a big annual refund means you're doing it wrong

To join daughters of the American revolution, I have to complete an electronic application. To get access to the application, the registrar of the chapter I'm joining needs to send me an invite. The registrar of the chapter I'm joining is moving to Canada and isn't responding to emails. I can't even finish the application yet since I'm waiting on a couple of supporting documents, but it's still frustrating.
