Poldarn posted:Amazon is really good about refunding/replacing packages, especially if the delivery person didn't get anyone to sign for it. Yeah I was pretty worried about overdoing it but I'm at like 4 replacements this year and no issue. Last time I even apologized and they were like "nah it's no big deal" I'm pretty sure the policy they have is more for people who order $1,000 TVs 4 times in a month and all 4 of them are 'lost/stolen," if you're trying to get a new pair of shoes or something it's like a drop in the bucket, especially if you have Prime. I do wonder just how aware Amazon is that Lasership is absolute garbage. All my replacements were originally shipped through them, and I wonder if things would have been different if I was claiming that FedEx or UPS lost 4 packages in a row.

I'd much prefer it if there was an option to have amazon/couriered poo poo get delivered directly to the closest post office and they signed for it. That way everyone knows for a fact someone signed for it, you even know which PO employee signed for it, there's no way some random shithead can swipe it off your porch and they can't possibly deliver to the wrong address. If you get that as an option along with a notification that it's arrived dropping past the post office isn't a big deal for most people. They'll gently caress it up somehow

Thankfully I've never dealt with actual theft, just a combination of either delivering to the wrong address or marking it as delivered and actually delivering it 2-3 days later.

My FWP, I just had my third session of elective, voluntary electrolysis and it hurts so much. Also, I've wanted Taco Bell for a week but haven't felt like driving the extra 5 minutes out of my way to get it. The nicer McDonald's near me closed down six months ago. It had been in business for more than 30 years. Now where will I go to get overly sweet tea and food designed to trick my mouth into thinking it tastes good? Finally, we get so many packages in the mail that the post office has stopped giving us mail bins. They just dump them on the front porch and let us drag them in.

I have been loving up in answering the animal rescue emails; every day there's like 10-12 owner surrenders, and I thought we were closed to intake. That's what our automated response loving says! But no, we are supposed to sent them all to another lady in the rescue. There's ONE direct email. And about 12 specialty departments and I have no way of knowing who runs what so I've been declining everything about this and just fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. There's another girl or two who are doing the emails too so I really feel bad but poo poo, why didn't someone tell me sooner!

My sleep FWP is that despite melatonin, stopping alcohol after 8, and keeping my sleep schedule consistent (bed by 11-12), I wake up every single night between 3-4AM and it takes me about an hour to fall asleep again. I then wake up at 8 all groggy and grumpy. It really sucks. If I was smart I'd take advantage of it and go to the gym since it's open 24/7, and I usually just gently caress around on the computer til I can fall asleep again. VVVV not only is it 24/7, it's 5 minutes from both home and work and it's $20/month with no commitment

People selling stuff on ebay taking pictures with a loving potato. Thinking of buying a 3DS and the number of people who say "includes games seen in picture" and then seem to use a keyring digital camera from fifteen years ago is staggering.

Last night I laid down at 4 am, an hour earlier than my normal bedtime, to wake up refreshed and motivated for my 3 PM job. I tossed and turned all night, zero actual sleep. I got home two hours ago, popped my sleeping pill, laid down immediately to sleep, and haven't had a wink since F U C K

My nostrils are slightly clogged, so I spent most of the night sleeping with my mouth open to breathe. Combined with being a bit dehydrated from alcohol, I woke up half a dozen times to the driest mouth I've never had. That poo poo is uncomfortable, and it hosed up trying to sleep.

I've cut down to 1 beer a night as part of my get-in-shape efforts. Tomorrow the wife and I are driving to upstate NY, where there are 3 awesome breweries that I love within 15 minutes. My FWP isn't even the breweries - I'm bringing up a bunch of growlers and filling them up to take home. The FWP is that it's tough to keep growler beer fresh/carbonated more than a day or 2 tops after you open it, and a growler is 4 beers, which is more than I should drink in 2 days. (Luckily a few of my growlers are the little 32oz ones  )

None of the music or podcasts on my phone really interest me right now, and nothing in my music collection really interests me. But I also like having stuff to listen to when I work because it's deathly quiet otherwise.Olive Garden tonight! posted:It's 5am.

I bought a strap-lock thing for my outdoors trash can since a raccoon or something keeps getting in and shredding the trash bags. This morning I looked outside and the drat trash panda had knocked the can on its side, squeezed in through the tiny clearance the strap allows, and pulled out a bunch of trash drat you trash panda (I actually think it might be gophers since I've seen a couple around lately, do they scavenge trash?)

When I complain about the 30 pounds I've gained in the past year some of my coworkers have told me I could stand to gain a few more. I've gotten a few weird looks and it's like hey I'm not turning anorexic and I don't give a poo poo if I lose any of it because I'm not fat yet I just want to quit gaining weight. I'm six feet tall and about 185 right now so like whatever but drat it I'm not letting myself hit 200.

doverhog posted:Have your heard of muscles and weight lifting? It might be beneficial for you to research this. Yup. I used to be a lot more active. The problem is that I got a desk job and now have enough money to eat the hell out of all the wonderful foods around. A bout of depression also didn't help. My knees and my back are kind of hosed so I'm limited in what I can do so my attitude now is basically "eat better, exercise more, be more healthy, stop gaining." I will readily admit that I am a fat guy at heart with a serious weakness for good food and a tendency to overeat. I'm also one of those lanky dudes that doesn't really bulk up in a muscles way. Outrail posted:Sup gangly buddy. Join a gym and turn yourself into a herculean exemplar of humanity. How you doing, gangly buddy? :hifive: I have to admit that one reason I'm kind of thinking I don't want to lose a lot of weight is because my clothes actually fit now. I have a slender frame and long legs. Buying clothes sucks horribly.
