The custodian that services my office is a total sweetheart but he has a high-pitched and cartoonishly Mexican voice. Like war-time cartoon stereotype. It's bad because she wants to talk to everyone and is SUPER nice. She's been working here for a year and is always talking about how she's getting ready for her son's birthday. Either she is lying for something is wrong...

IMO if you are feeling weird about asking them (I get like this too), you should look up some recipes online and just go for it!! I am as white as the driven snow, but I need a lot of food variety in my life, and I have self-taught myself to make a mean curry and saag paneer. One time I brought in leftovers to work for lunch, and my Pakistani colleague asked me what restaurant I had purchased it from, and was (seemingly) pretty impressed when I told him I had made it myself. It is definitely not as intimidating as it seems once you give it a try, and once you get the ingredients/flavours down you'll be able to tweak it more to your liking. This goes for Thai too! It's fun if you like to cook!

I have the exact same thing except it's not just Indian food, it's also Hispanic food and some other various types of delicious things. My bedroom borders their kitchen and some nights it's unbearable and I've been able to tell the exact thing they're making. Like, I've spent some nights drooling. They also cook around 9-10pm when I'm about to sleep.I encountered the lady in the hallway and she looked at me all scared and confused  I guess she didn't like my tattoos and Family Guy pajama pants.The building turns the heat down at night around 9pm until like 6am and I'm awake because I couldn't sleep, and it's FREEZING. Also sometimes my radiator clicks really loud... but if I kick it really really hard it stops for a while  I have some of the smilies' names memorized

The hotel I'm staying at for work (expenses paid) has some weird DNS filtering poo poo going on, and it filters some image hosting sites so about 1/4 of posts in PYF are full of broken images.

This is a weird one: There is a guy on the train that smells like really pungent, delicious Mediterranean food. I'm already hungry and here's this guy that reeks of grape leaves and feta.

Especially if you're an American, there's a non-zero chance the Republicans will gut the ACA and that'll become a pre-existing condition.

The motor in my ice cream churn blew while I was making ice cream for the work Thanksgiving potluck. It was at the end when I went to add the nuts and toffee, so I just had to stir by hand, but I only used the machine about 10 times.

I use an ObjectDock for my most used things, and there's no position in which it's usable when I'm playing a new game I love. No matter on which side of the screen, no matter the orientation on those sides, it's covering something

My first official job squeezed me out in favor of hiring on the owner's older brother who did meth in the kitchen. I was 13 and didn't know any better or how to fight for my schedule. FWP: My GF had to buy special hay for our guinea pig because she needs a low-calcium diet. We just bought a new bale recently so that sucks. It won't go to waste because a friend can take it for his pets but uuuuuggghhh. My sleep patterns are still bad. Not so bad that I can't work but I'm in a constant fog.

Goddamnit they are cooking chicken REALLY WELL tonight. I can't cook fresh chicken this well and I cook good. But they are doing it! It's loving 11pm. I woke up to the smell. 2min later while typing this: Oh god and pork too. Re-sizzled pork but still delicious. Kill me.

Management hosed up my paycheck again  first time in a while, but I was looking forward to that extra 8 hours. At least my current supervisor has proven time and again that she will latch onto management's leg like an angry chihuahua and make sure they don't try to sweep it under the rug, so I'm sure something will come of it. She's a good boss.

Well, Mario Maker is coming out for 3DS in like a week if that works better for you. If you don't have one of those either, a 2DS and the game will run you about $120 USD + tax.

Now my FWP is that I can get a 2DS plus the game for 120 bucks, but it'd be kinda a lovely use of funds for a feature-gimped version of one game.

The Switch is coming out in four months and will get ports of all the Wii U games worth playing. Just wait for that. On a related note, I would like to complain that the Switch is coming out in four months and they haven't announced the exact date, price, or launch line-up yet.

I'm going to buy one unless early reports say that it's trash. I just want to know more stuff. Zelda is scheduled for June now and I was thinking it would be a launch title.

I love when people say they'll call you back and then they just... never do. no matter how many times you call them. even if it's super important. it's so nice! the property manager still hasn't gotten our doorbell fixed and fedex threw a package up onto our balcony instead. how did they even know it was ours?? I have a UPS package coming later and I hope my note, taped to the intercom area outside, is enough to get them to mash the doorbell until it makes noise in here.

I turned in my paperwork for automatic deposit in August when I started my job. Payroll didn't get it through inter-office mail until a week before Halloween and they still decided to take three weeks to process it. After some five pay periods with checks in the mail I'm finally going to get auto deposit... They've always paid me the right amounts with physical checks but that's bullshit and there's no one to file a complaint with because HR is gone for Thanksgiving and neither payroll nor our couriers want to take blame for screwing up.
