I have a bunch of small errands I need to run like buying socks and going to the library, but I've been stuck at home the last two and a half days because the repair people are working on the furnace and probably won't be done until tomorrow afternoon. I could do them in the evening but the library closes early and I'd have to deal with Walmart people instead of the nice store with inconvenient hours.

Speaking of socks, I have a free pair coming from Meh.com that were supposed to arrive today, but now their delivery date shows as Saturday. Someone I know had theirs shipped to their office in town and they arrived yesterday. t:mad: gently caress you, Fedex/USPS!

I had to explain to someone, twice, how while I'm a doctor, I'm not a medical doctor, and therefore I cannot recommend treatment or prescribe medicine. I'm still not sure if they got it or not.

When you go to wash your hands, so you push your sleeves up, then just as you've started soaping up your hands, your sleeve slips back down and now you have to awkwardly try to avoid getting it wet while still rinsing the soap off your hands.

That Power Rangers Bootleg fan movie depresses the poo poo out of me and I wish my friends would shut up about it.

I am aware that getting all twisted up over what is essentially a children's franchise is a less than mature reaction on my part.

So can you take a look at this thing on my arm? :v:

What field is your doctorate actually in? Maybe you could go with the angle of explaining that you're a professor or a scientist or a mathematician or something.

My problem is that my half-brother is a raging rear end in a top hat but it's illegal to punch him in his idiot face.

At work I'm moving to a new project, which means a new development environment which means installing software and setting system variables. I don't have admin level access on my machine (which is its own :can:) so I submitted a ticket for access around half an hour before I was planning to leave work, expecting it to be fulfilled this morning and have a whole day of admin access to install and tinker. Nope, they authorized it ten minutes after I left and set it to expire 8 hours later (1 in the morning).

So-called environmentally friendly toilets, the ones that only use a little water per flush. This would be fine if I were just taking a piss in it, but when I'm using a public toilet I'm not going to be pissing it it, I'd use a urinal for that. No, when I use a toilet I'm making GBS threads. And those low-flow toilets don't loving flush well enough to take my goddamn poo poo away so I end up trying again and again and again before finally having to make the decision whether to just abandon it or find some member of staff and explain to them that my poo poo is still in their toilet and it won't go away. They shouldn't have to deal with that, it should just work like any toilet and flush properly.

I worked in a place where I didn't have Admin on my own machine, never again. It's bad enough when the DBA takes three weeks to assemble a committee to discuss the pitfalls and best practices of adding a single column that I need in a two week sprint.

I ordered a new graphics card from Amazon UK last month to be shipped to Australia and after a month of evasion and daily emails i-parcel finally admitted that they had 'lost'(stolen) my parcel.
Amazon are sending me a replacement and it's estimated to arrive sometime between the 12-17th March.

My mom wanted to sleep in today so she set the vet appt for 10:30. Meanwhile we woke up at 6, which is still sleeping in for us, but gently caress a duck, add that to another appt at 1, and then one at 2:30, and the entire day is shot because we couldn't get started earlier. And we could have. If she made the appt for when the drat vet opened rather than 'well maybe we can sleep in till 9!' poo poo.

I forgot to buy chips yesterday but did remember to buy the dipping sauce.


I applied for a transfer at work, to a location that is a 5 minute drive compared to my 40 one currently, and while I have seniority and the skills to move there, my boss kept asking in the interview what would happen if I didn't get the spot. IE, would I still be all chipper and the busy worker and never lazing around like my coworkers, or would I not? Would I keep helping out and doing things in the building no one else does, would I still organize poo poo for the next drivers. In short, would I continue to do more than everyone else if I didn't get the post I've wanted for over six years. The way he kept asking makes me think I won't get the spot and someone else with less seniority will....points more if it goes to someone outside the company.

I nannied for two families over the past decade and the kids are growing up, and I don't have as much contact anymore. One family is going through a divorce and possible separation. The other might be moving out of the country soon.

Uptown Funk is not a drunk people song. Drunk people need to sing drinking songs because those songs are designed to be sung when you're wasted.

I swear, some people regress to children when they go to a store. Oh, no, sure, go right the gently caress ahead and paw through the fresh muffins with your dirty-rear end hands. Feel free to just toss rolls and bagels on the floor because you don't want them. I don't mind at all if you dig around in my nice bread display and knock everything over because you don't like the sell-by date on the stuff we just made today.

If I wanted to clean up after a bunch of loving animals, I would've worked at a zoo.

I'll show you a geek.
I just got into a couple of really cool artists thanks to Spotify, but Spotify doesn't have their entire discography and TPB is apparently a fed trap so I might actually have to hunt around on Amazon for their early records in a format I can actually listen to.

I have a hard drive full of classic Doctor Who, but my smart TV won't recognize the files no matter what I do so I might have to just play them on my laptop if I want to watch them.

My smart TV is about six years old, so it doesn't have the current version of Netflix, which means there are no subtitles and for some reason I can't watch every episode of Futurama ever made.

A cute little independent coffee shop with adorable decor and several exciting open mic and live music nights just opened up across the street from the local Starbucks, and I really want to support them but their plain brewed coffee is terrible and their fancy blended drinks are way too expensive for the size.

My mom is getting another tattoo and wants me to get one as well. She's offered to pay for it, and it's just a simple cat outline, but I really don't want to, so I told her to cancel my appointment. Now she thinks I'm afraid of loving needles when it's more I don't really want some ink permanently on my body, especially after the Bad Tattoo Thread.

Management hasn't said who got the new spot at work yet and it's been open for almost a month.

Edit. The guy with less experience and seniority than me got it. I was told I was too important to transfer because I do so much at the base. Lesson: if you shovel the most poo poo, you get the largest shovel.

Sometimes when I'm renaming files I'll go to use Shift-Del as the shortcut for "cut", but in the file manager that's always interpreted as "delete file" instead.
