I have to work on my Jeep's brakes this weekend. It needs a fluid flush, and the pads and rotors need to be replaced. I'll have to do all that on Sunday since Pokemon Go community day is on Saturday. It's supposed to be hot again, so that's gonna suck a lot.

There’s a huge box of Lindor truffles at work because we did something or other with Lindt, and every single truffle is the red kind, milk chocolate with milk chocolate filling.

Our side gate is wood and looks to have termite damage. We had some termite tubes a few years ago around the house, sprayed it heavily, and only one other popup since. gently caress.

We unloaded a trailer at my warehouse job today, which happens roughly once a month and is a lot more physically demanding than the rest of the job and takes about three hours. Kind of hot and stuffy.

Two people unexpectedly didn’t show up, and one of the office guys who could have helped just decided to wear sandals to work today. Yeah fucker, we see you.

Last Saturday I twinged my back just picking up crabapples in the backyard and it still kind of hurts. I wasn’t even lifting anything heavy; just getting down to the ground repeatedly. I’m 33 and feel like and old man.

I've been job hunting and keep talking to places demanding multiple years of experience but only willing to offer salaries that are in the bottom like 3% of the profession. I actually want to work and do enjoy what I do but don't think it's unreasonable to be compensated fairly. Instead I keep getting "well this company would be interested but they're not willing to budge on the terrible salary."

Well they can go to hell then.

The hot/humid/miserable weather over the past few months makes it perfect for swimming, but we've had rain every day or two for weeks and my neighborhood's private lake has been closed frequently due to high bacteria counts.Unrelated, my 3D printer is wonky and out of calibration, and while I know exactly what I have to do to fix it, it's a tedious and repetitive process with no precise control.

Bees on Wheat posted:

They finally finished putting my new door up, and the whole thing only took about six hours! Oh, and they have to come back later to patch some holes in the trim and whatever else, because they just tacked that poo poo on with a loving nail gun.

I ordered pizza earlier and when the delivery guy knocked I realized the new door doesn't even have a goddamn peephole, which may not seem like a big deal but I'd like to know if the person at my door is a delivery person, a neighbor, or a creepy stalker before I open it. And before you ask, yes, that last bit is a somewhat legitimate concern. :sigh:

E: Oh yeah, and the new doors have electronic locks with a 4-digit pin. There is no deadbolt or secondary locking mechanism. God help you if someone discovers your code, or worse yet, the master code for all the doors. Like one of my neighbors already did. I don't know how he did it, but he told at least one other person, who demonstrated on someone's door a few nights ago (with their consent) and honestly I'm kinda creeped out by the whole affair. Can't wait til this lease is up so I can loving get out of here.
Look up the lock's user manual, look up local code for fire escape requirements, and see if you can find something (hopefully blatant like "lock doesn't work with dead batteries") that makes it noncompliant with housing laws and codes. They're probably in the clear, but you might find something that would make the locks non-compliant and require them to let you install your own.

There is a product for cats called Feliway and I'm not here to talk about whether or not it works (it does) but about how it is pronounced; for seven years I've been stressing the first syllable and saying it with a short e. Yesterday I heard someone hit that first syllable with a long e. I've been coming at it phonetically, e.g. celibate, gelatin, seltzer but the long e also makes sense in light of, you know, feline

I realize a trip to YouTube to watch a commercial for this product would settle this matter pretty much instantly but I hate the idea that I might have been marching around saying this wrong for, again, seven years



relatedly and also first-worldedly, the lovely kitty I adopted in May has been peeing outside her box at like 4:45 in the morning and today I will hear back from the vet as to whether she simply needs a course of antibiotics or behavior modification (hence the reëmergence of Feliway in my life) :sigh:

Someone in another thread posted a funny video of ASMR for white liberals by a black guy, and it was pretty hilarious but also really soothing.

Now I am unironically listening to whispery positive affirmations where some twee twink guy is saying 100 pretty silly compliments, and drat if it isn't super pleasant to the ear.

I feel so dirty and ashamed now.

Apparently it's possible for a USB Flash drive to get so corrupted that it crashes your system. I plugged it into my PC and it immediately blue screens and says something called volmgr.sys is messsed up. Plugged it into my Macbook and OSX froze and I had to do a hard shut down.

My husband and I invited his family to my company's annual summer party and they all bailed at the very last minute. We told them about it a month ago and they all said they would come, but my sister-in-law allegedly has the flu (which is code for being hungover) and her husband supposedly had to work. That bothered me enough already since he had a month to request the day off or arrange for someone to cover his shift.. or just loving tell me he can't go so I can find someone else to give the ticket to... but then the stupid rear end posted pictures of himself at a baseball game today. That was happening at about the same time as the party. I'm loving livid because if my husband and I had to cancel plans with family for any loving reason whatsoever his sisters would go ballistic and we would never hear the end of it.

I had to prepay for the tickets too, and there wasn't any way to get a refund for the unused tickets. I was able to give one of them to a friend, who happened to live nearby and didn't have anything else to do today, but since it was last minute nobody else I invited could make it. :sigh:

Believe me, I considered it. I really wish I had taken a bunch of pictures so I could post them and talk about how much fun we had even though SOME people couldn't be bothered to come..

But I think I'll just settle for having them reimburse me for the tickets.. ;)

It's not like, actively busted or anything, it looks like I smushed it against something (a little senstitve, warm/inflamed, little darkness on the nail) and it's not a huge thing, it's just... how did I pinch it without knowing?

Does the workout even count IRL when it's not measured?! :ohdear:
