I updated the address on my license today and they took a new photo unexpectedly. If I'd known I'd've waited until tomorrow, when I'm getting a new headshot for work and will be putting a modicum of effort into my appearance.

I've had a kinda low-key lovely day and the part of my brain that self-hates is seriously craving Taco Bell, but neither me or my partner really want to drive to pick it up, and doordash wouldn't do it this late, anyway. I don't know what's worse, the fact that my brain wants lovely food, or that I can't get the lovely food I want without, you know, effort.

drat, now my lovely brain wants lovely food. Taco Bell soft tacos sound really good right now. No way in hell I'm leaving the house though, and my husband is about to go to bed. I've been lowkey hungover all day because I drank way too much yesterday on an empty stomach. Thankfully I had today off, but having the day off is also part of why I drank so much last night.. The good news is that I shouldn't get any attendance points on my record for being late to work the other day, since it was a last-minute change, and this check will have some serious overtime pay, plus extra pay for missing meal breaks. The lovely part is that I worked 20 hours in two days, and I haven't had two consecutive days off in over a week and I just kind of want to die.

I hate sitting on the edge of a WiFi router's range. My phone keeps flip flopping between WiFi and LTE so stuff fails to load half the time.

Mu Zeta posted:Have you ever been to a small fitness class or personal trainer? It might be worth doing squats and stretches in front of a professional to get some pointers. Make sure it's not some BS crossfit class. The last time I went to a personal trainer the guy had me doing Russian deadlifts while balancing on a bosu ball but that was a long time ago and I agree that it would probably be helpful for me. Unrelated: our work software decided to stop sending out overdue and hold pickup notices district-wide so now we’re getting yelled at a lot more than usual (which was already at least once a week). I helped a lady today who kept swearing under her breath that she loving hated all of us and couldn’t wait to leave and the feeling’s mutual! 👍🏻

I found an old iPad 2 in really good condition at the town recycling center, so I took it hope and wiped it. Now I have a tablet for watching videos in bed, but the latest iOS version for it is too old to run the Youtube app.

The free apples at work aren't pink lady.

I hate people who feel the need to make wordplay out of everything, to the point that there is a line in my OkCupid profile that basically says that you shouldn't like puns if we're going to see each other or Monty Python, Doctor Who, or astrology.

My commute, because of construction, is anywhere from 35 minutes to 2 hours, and my boss is now upset I'm not always showing up on time. I'm also using a lot of data listening to music sitting in traffic

When I was in my 20s, my solution would just be "get to work earlier and chill in the break room" and I could get up an hour or an hour and a half earlier, miss most of the traffic, and to do that. In my 30s, I sat in traffic and then worked late to make it up because gently caress getting up early.

I listen to a lot of Actual Play podcasts (DnD and stuff like that). It makes the commute way more tolerable because I'm listening to a non-scripted story that I've invested in. Much harder to tune out than music so it's an actual distraction. I have a list of recomendations if you want them.

Have you listened to Arcs? It's newish and the first actual play podcast I've listened to. It's really good and engrossing but a lot of other ones I've listened to have been boring because it's 5-6 white guys who all have the same voice so there's nothing compelling me to pay attention. If you can recommend any that are different or particularly good I'd be all ears!

If you can recommend any that are different or particularly good I'd be all ears! Not really a podcast, but LoadingReadyRun has a series called Dice Friends that is a variety of campaigns in different systems & settings run by several DMs. They just finished up a 10-part campaign set in Ravnica (a MTG thing) that the DM created herself, and it ran on the official D&D channel. It was an adventure to get the disparate guilds to ratify new guidelines for sausage making. Another took place in a summer camp and the player characters were all ten years old (or the elven equivalent). The group isn't grognards and they're incredibly inclusive and chill (although they are largely white). They post on YouTube, so you could download them.

If you can recommend any that are different or particularly good I'd be all ears! I haven't but I will check it out. My favorites: -Not Another D&D Podcast. NADDPOD is unique in the the story takes place after the world has already been saved. The party is following the wake of the God-like heroes and figuring out their journey. Extremely funny, heartwarming and there is an opossum that is a lawyer. -The Glass Cannon. It's Pathfinder so the rules are chunky but the guys don't get too caught up in it. Official podcast of Paizo (though not starting out). The DM Troy is a great mix of letting everyone have their fun but is not afraid to kill someone. He practically delights in it. -Androids and Aliens. Same group as the GPC but with an additional Swedish woman in the cast. Starfinder so it's even more chunky but the characters are pretty dope. -The Dragon Friends. An Australian live show that comes out every month. It's fun because the cast of characters stays mostly the same but they change the game they are playing every "season". They have an in-house Bard that makes music on the fly. None of it makes sense. There is a character named Bobby PlayStation. -The Adventure Zone. It's the McElroys. It's DnD. It's very, very funny.

When the (google) GPS finds a faster, new route why the hell do I have to decline it instead of accepting it? No I don't want to take your crazy new route that involves 35 back roads because it might save me 8 seconds over taking the highway, and I also don't want to have to unlock my phone and swipe no while I'm driving on the highway. I'm already on a route. Don't redirect me unless I say it's ok Google. gently caress off. Also give me a better warning if it's a toll road.

I know that adverts pay for stuff, I'm fine with that. But the advert playing before a podcast I want to listen to is an advert for that podcast. Is it really that difficult to have some line of code that prevents that kind of stupidity?

Being underemployed and not being in my chosen career path is hell on your social life. I'm too embarrassed to reconnect with my old friends, so pretty much my only consistent relationship is my dad. Yesterday was the Detroit Tiger's opening day, the day before someone said they were making hotdogs for us. It ended up being a pretty nice spread. I told Dad about this nice thing that happened, and got two (2) separate talks about how I did lunch wrong by not offering to bring anything and how that affects me professionally at this $10/hr temp job where I take various computer cables out of packages and put them into different packages and put Prop 65 labels on them.

Reconnect with friends, get one of them to get you out of that hell job. I have a lot of friends in the tech industry and service industries, and that's how pretty much everyone in those sectors seems to move around. Better to be embarrassed than miserable, and if they're really good friends they won't really care.

I had two friends over for dinner and cooked two racks of ribs thinking that there would be some I could eat as leftovers. Apparently we liked them so much that we ate every single rib. It’s a great compliment to my cooking skills but now I have no food to eat and I’m hungry.
