I have to go in for an MRI on Friday but separate to that I have a stinging sensation in my stomach and now I'm irrationally paranoid that I accidentally swallowed a loose staple on my desk and it'll be torn out of me in the MRI. I wish I was joking

I wish I was joking That is horrifying.  Also, I just found out that one of my favorite bands is playing on the second day of a festival I'm attending, which means that I can't get disgustingly wasted on the FIRST day of that festival.

I wish I was joking Well first off, how do you "accidentally" swallow a staple? Secondly, I'm sure you'll be fine. A staple is so tiny that I can't see it doing any damage. The amount of force something exhibits in a magnetic field is a product of both the field strength, and the mass of the metal. Also, if it's on Friday, unless you have the worlds slowest bowels, it'll almost certainly be out of you.

As a recent college graduate looking for jobs I find it annoying that pretty much every company has a unique process for processing applicants that involves filling out information that is already on your resume/cover letter. I'd like to apply for 'all the jobs' but it just takes so much friggen time. TLDR: Boo hoo nobody is rushing to hand me a career

Yes a few people now have assured me it'd be gone by then if I had eaten it, and that if I had eaten one I wouldn't feel it like this. I doubt I ate one, I just had an open nature valley bars and saw some staples beside the wrapper later. Like I said I just get irrationally paranoid

My girlfriend has been in the hospital for a while and can't remember most of the time there, but she still managed to send me flowers for Valentine's Day. I'll do something nice for her after she's out, but I can't right now because my hours got cut and I'm spending more on gas going to the hospital every day.  The pollen from the flowers is triggering my asthma and the difficulty breathing is giving me vertigo.

My local energy company offers automatic bill payments but the system is not well integrated. I have to call in and authorize it each month. I'm starting a new nerd tabletop game on Saturday but one of my players may not show up due to being very busy as his lucrative and legal Marijuana growing business. A job that I really wanted said I was qualified but needed another 50 days of time-in-grade to accept me as a government transfer. They only open once every three years

Supreme Allah posted:Yesterday I wanted to get my car washed at the local hand-wash place before I went to work but there were three people already in line so I had to drive my car less shiny than I like it. I try to only put Rain-X in my windshield washer reservoir on my car but the place where I get my oil changed keeps putting in water even though I tell them not to. (Rain-X makes your windshield hydropholic so water beads faster and gives you better visibility) Then I try to excessively use the windshield washer to use up all the water because I am too lazy to open the hood and remove the reservoir. So now the water is all used up but I left the Rain-X at home so when I was driving along the beach salt water got on my windshield and made it all icky but I couldn't just push a button and clean it off because the reservoir was empty!

I'm sick (GI bug) and my husband stole my last Gatorade this morning. I asked him yesterday if he wanted me to get him a Gatorade too and he said no, he'd get one on the way home if he changed his mind. So I didn't get him one and yet he still took my last one from me. I haven't peed in nearly 24hrs despite my best attempts. That being said, I think needing a sports drink for hydration is one of the first-worldliest things ever.

I have 6 papercuts on my fingers, one on the tip of my index finger, two on my knuckles, and 3 at the base of my cuticles. The biggest one and freshest one is dead center on my middle finger on my swatch hand, which means the pictures I took of my nails tonight needed extra editing and don't look as nice. It also hurts like gently caress when I have to remove my nail polish. And the bandaid residue is stuck to my nail.

My 3-year-old niece knows how to operate the camera on my phone. There is about 80 photos on there that she has taken without my knowledge, and about 15 movies. My problem is that I can't figure out how to arrange my photo gallery so her stuff has its own unique collection. I hate digging to show off her "work". Stupid s5.

I had to call the cable people to come and do some poo poo. This guy shows up and doesn't even get out of his van and walk up to my lovely house, which he would be doing anyway. He doesn't honk the horn on his van. He leans out his window and at about the same level of volume I'd use to talk to someone in the same room as me, says "hey dis da guy from da cable company". I barely heard it and by the time I realized someone outside was making noise, and it wasn't the neighbors again, he had already driven off.

I'd actually kind of like to get some strawberries but in this part of the world this time of year they're always hideously expensive for fruit and probably also moldy and not very good. I have to wait like...a couple of months...for the strawberry season to hit and for there to be dirt rear end cheap and delicious strawberries for sale everywhere.

Why do you have headphones on if you aren't going to listen to anything on them? But at any rate, get yourself these doo-dads.  There's several sizes available, so make sure to get the right one.

It was my turn to fix dinner tonight, and I forgot to leave the soy sauce and cheese on the counter to warm it to room temperature. So I had to put cold soy sauce and cold cheese on top of warm rice, broccoli, and walnuts.
