Can I bitch here? I'll bitch here. Kid has been sick three times in the last month. I've been sick for a week, spending the first half hour of my day coughing up unholy disgustingly sweet yellow-green idon'twannaknow. Sex is but a distant memory. Getting a good kindergarten spot for the sprog is an exercise in futility, bureaucracy and stupidity. Job sucks. I spend zero time doing fun and creative things and all my time in meetings, plannings, prioritizations, refinements, triage and scrums. The guys I work with, while competent and nice, are completely chaotic juniors and it's constant act-first-wonder-why-poo poo-didn't-work-after. The two guys I like to work with and could learn some good stuff from, that would take my career and skills in a good direction, have been put on separate teams. The loving contractor that I'm willing to throw metric tons of cash at won't even come back with a quote. For every revision of my new garage (the thing I swore my new house would have) gets smaller. I haven't done any exercise in a year+ and everything hurts. My posture qualifies me for bell ringing at the Notre Dame. gently caress.

Today is the third Monday in a row with a multiple car wreck on the freeway, dragging it down to a standstill. Getting real sick of walking in 30 minutes late on Monday mornings because jackasses can't keep their poo poo on the road. Also, Friday After Next is the best Christmas movie.

Everything hurts. gently caress is right.

The toddler is getting separation anxiety fiercely. Exercise time and just general time to myself is non-existent and the job I'm bored at and slogging through is my only escape. I keep telling myself it's just a phase and it will pass. Maybe it'll actually be true, someday.

My 5 year old just decided she couldn’t sleep last night and kept me and my oldest up hours after bedtime screaming crying and usually these are the best kids in the world, one has a runny nose and one keeps getting ear infection. It’s just kids enjoy them while you can I took them for granted as babies and I can never get that back, doing everything I can to enjoy them every minute time goes by too fast.

There is some poor bastard who's been trying to sell his 1991 Dodge Stealth for the past six months in the classifieds and has found no takers. Which I can understand; given other options for speed, why would you pick a very old car with very obscure parts that is constantly plotting to break expensively?

Kids get better. I think I had the best time from age 8 to 14, we did everything together and weren't sick all the time. Now that she's 17 we still get along but I almost never see her. I had a fun weekend, the kid and I went to see Joywave in concert at the world famous Stanley Hotel. They have an old meeting hall with a stage at one end, and have begun using it for rock concerts. Smart move on their part, we and about half the other concert goers rented a room. The show started at 9 and there was no way I was going to commit to driving 90 minutes home at midnight in December. The real crazy part is that they had a pipe break in the main building, so we got upgraded to a condo. This place was bigger than my townhouse. 1300 square feet, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, full kitchen. Normally rents for $369 a night and completely private. It was kind of a shame that we were just there for one evening. Like a moron I forgot to take any pictures.

Bleh Record scratch indeed. Even the best plannned, prepared and executed plan goes to poo poo when there's kids involved. Best one is fighting through the morning, getting everybody showered and dressed and fed and caffeinated, dropping the kid off, fighting traffic to go to work, and halfway through the first cup of coffee they call and say he's sick and can you please come get him and by the way don't forget that he needs a whole day fever free before we want him back. And with a bit of luck this is, like, Tuesday, so you just know that two whole workdays are hosed.

Went out this weekend for a friend's birthday, and we decided to stop at a punk bar downtown that we used to frequent to grab a drink before heading home. Get there and there's about 4 people total there, and the bartender authoritatively demands to see all of our IDs, so the five of us said yeah sure man, and pulled out or IDs and handed them to him. He gives them all back, and the fifth friend hands him his. For context, Wisconsin is pretty stupid in the fact that they change their IDs look and orientation (I think there's like four consecutive generations of horizontal, vertical, horizontal, vertical layouts) which for some reason anyone checking IDs refuse to keep current with, and if you show a still valid ID but with a different layout, they refuse to accept it. Anyway, my friend's ID is one of the old format (but still valid IDs) and also has a crack on the front side, so it's kinda floppy, and this guy just immediately lost his poo poo and got super indignant and condescending. He refused to accept it and we tried to reason with him for a bit and he said I'm gonna need something else, so my friend gave him an expired motorcycle temp ID and said "This is all I got man, my other one is a valid ID I don't understand what the problem is, we drink here all of the time." The guy pulls some lovely "OH YEAH, well I'VE tended bar here for FIVE YEARS and I've never seen YOU here!" Then he grabbed the temp ID, took one look at and threw it back at my friend and says "This one's void so you need to throw this in the garbage," throws the first ID back at him "and you need to go be an adult and go to the DMV and get THIS one replaced!" Then he started getting heated and arguing with us so at that point one of my friend's got up from his bar stool Wayne from Letterkenny style, told him he was a fuckin' dickhead, and then we went and gave our money to a different bar. Dude let off a string of "Oh, I'M the rear end in a top hat huh, yeah I'M bullshit" at our backs on our way out  It's weird being made to feel like you're an underage kid trying to sneak into a bar. E: Previous to that though, we went ice skating and I got to try my first pair of hockey skates for the first time and I'm excited for more

I worked with a dude like this and this poo poo rubbed off on me. Every so often I run into someone I treated like poo poo, have no idea who they are but you bet your rear end I made a lasting impression. I always feel like such a oval office after these encounters.

Highly doubt that guy has been there five years, with that kind of lovely attitude he won't last long. I've seen bartenders get effectively pushed out by the regulars if enough of them don't like you. Not everyone is going to like you, but if most of them don't good luck keeping that gig. In other news, man I forgot what it's like having a cat, this little guy is a furry ball of energy and so eager to be around us it's like instant unconditional love

Ours definitely took a few days to even consider maybe not murdering each other, it was pretty rough. We acclimated them in my girlfriend's old apartment, which was long and narrow with wooden floors, so right when you thought they might be starting to like each other, suddenly there's a lot growling and poofed tails which usually ended up in them sprinting full speed after each other from one end to the other with murderous intent, resulting in one or both of them losing traction at 300MPH and crashing into poo poo.  They've come a long way, but they still chase each other everywhere, just with more playful intent rather than "I WANT TO KILL YOU." T-Square fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Dec 9, 2019 |
