I still need at least two professional interviews for my dissertation but I don't really where to ask. Also my eyes feel tired.

I really need botox but I don't want to fork out the cash for it because I learned that I'd need it every 3/4 months, and the guy I went to was super expensive. I know I should go shop around for surgeons/dermatologists but :effort:

I get to go to a comedy club tonight for a friend's son's baseball team charity thing. It's free but I really don't want to go because I'm hung over and this is my only real day off this week. Also nobody came to the counter at Quiznos so I had to settle for a crappy pre-made sandwich because I feel too lovely to go anywhere else for food.

I can't decide if I should work out in my home gym (closest but not as many pieces of equipment), the gym at the home owner's association club house (really nice, but slightly out of my way), or wait and go when I get to my office (gross, but gives me an excuse to take a really long lunch) :sigh:

I'm laying in my hammock in my back yard. Conditions are near perfect: 79 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, my palm trees are swaying in the light breeze, sun glistening off of my pool, ice cold IPA in my hand, dog sleeping in the grass next to me. Literally the perfect Sunday afternoon. My hammock is a traditional one between two trees (not palms) because gently caress those janky ones with their own frames. My FWP is the breeze, it occasionally spreads the branches and leaves apart enough that the sun hits my eyes, and I'm too lazy to go get my sunglasses from inside.

I had to install Internet Explorer to do some testing for work, and twice already today I've clicked the link for that rather than Chrome when I want to browse the Internet, so I have to close the window and load Chrome instead. I could just use IE but it's the principle of the thing.

Some new neighbors moved in and every day they cook something that smells so unbelievably delicious that I have to open the window and burn incense to try and mask the smell, but that only works a little. I'm spending all day drooling, wishing I was having whatever it is they're making.

At work, when a manager transfers stores, they almost always take every account with them to the new store. But since some people transfer over 40 miles away, that means for deliveries, a customer used to walking down to the store to pick up their order (in case delivery wouldn't get there asap) has to wait for delivery, which is more expensive, and all because some loving managers refuse to let go of old accounts and make new ones. Yes, boohoo, sucks you chose to move but leave the accounts in your old ZIP code behind!

We are short-staffed at work but the higher ups won't approve more staff until we can prove we need it, IE, we get at least four more accounts for our location. So we scramble to cover orders and all we need is one more person, maybe two. But then we have to get them trained and it's usually a month before they can be on their own.

I'm the usual GM in our rpg and I have absolutely no problem passing over anything to anyone, but my friend wants to change the next play to do one she made up on the fly, that is very much like an old one we did, but introduces her two 'amazing and awesome kickass twin princesses.' They are super powerful and smart and can do anything! Oh and they are super beautiful and gag me. I get the idea of wanting the SuperStrong Hero but when they have no real weakness it gets boring fast. But if I tell her no, she'll throw a fit and complain about the other play we already decided to do and say I never let anyone else choose anything (when in fact it's all done by a vote, but whatever) so I'll be the adult and say sure, we can do your MarySue rpg. Maybe someone else will get sick of it before I do.

I hate having a front yard. I swear the way to make it rain is for me to go out and weed the entire thing because within a week it will downpour. My neighbor across the street landscapes his place so mine looks even worse.

Oh god I hate this. My neighbors obsessively mow and landscape and makes my (what I think to be pretty normal-looking) yard look like poo poo. They use some kind of crazy fertilizer that turns their grass this deep dark green color. I hate them :(

We were out of a part at work yesterday so I called an AutoZone but they were out. I went to Walmart and they had the right bulbs. But I couldn't use the company card there, so I had to use my own credit card. Now the boss is mad because he has to get a payment reimbursement paper found and I got a reprimand for not buying the bulbs from a parts store and not calling other parts stores before I just bought some at Walmart.

Another manager I usually get along with called mine to complain about me yesterday, so that was two dings in one day. He complained that I didn't even attempt delivery on a box with a bad address and instead 'was rude and disrespectful.' Since I wasn't there to defend myself, I couldn't bring up the dozens of times they've had a bad address and I did everything in my power to find the right one. I had enough, I made the call, and the manager got pissy when he should be get mad at his team for loving poo poo up on a steady basis. And because I haven't kept a log of their mistakes, I can't prove it.

I need a vacation and somehow the weekend isn't enough.

I have around $7 in Google Rewards money sitting in my Google Play account, but the game I want to buy (Chrono Trigger,) is $9, and Google Play doesn't let you split payments. :mad:

I would just wait a few weeks to get more money, but I want to have this before I go on vacation in a week because I'll have a lot of downtime in the airport and on the plane, and I'm not bringing a full laptop, and I'm sick of all the games I currently have on my phone+tablet.

Is there a way to buy a $2 Google Play giftcard? Do they comer in amounts that small?

Edit: Looks like the smallest amount I can get online to add to my account is $5...not sure if an "in-store" Google Play GC can be gotten for less, but at least $5 is less than the $9 I'd have to spend out of pocket.

V V V It's not the actual money part, it's the principle of the thing. I have all this credit that Google makes infuriatingly hard to use. I can afford a $9 game no problem, but what's the point of having this credit if I can't use it on what I want? V V V

I'm a guy with not a metro bone in his body, my goon credentials are impeccable I assure you. But my job requires me to dress in a non-goon way occasionally. I get through these times by going with Cole Hahns: it's pretty tough to beat sneakers that look like dress shoes (don't laugh). So anyway, I got 3 pairs of great shoes on sale but don't have anything to wear them with. These "non-goony days" are maybe every 4 weeks but its still a pain to have to buy new outfits for a couple days every few weeks.

T-shirts and jeans are literally the only clothes a person should need in life. But every now and then some bullshit happens where you need to wear something that isn't the most comfortable clothes ever made.

This probably isn't a first world problem, but I don't want to make a thread.

I had to say no to Jesus repeatedly today at my best friend's funeral. I don't share her family's faith but I have always respected it. Their refusal to respect my lack of belief because it will make them feel better by preaching at me is the second most hosed up thing since I got up off the grass and realized she was dead and I was perfectly loving unscathed.

No, I don't want to hear how I was spared because I'm a dirty atheist and she was already saved..that implies some sort of godly guilt trip intervention and gently caress that noise, Do you not understand I see the headlights and hear the bang every time I close my eyes? I'm not buying any Jesus today. I just watched my best friend of 15 years die and wasn't able to even call out a warning.

I was looking for the cars passing. Do you not even comprehend how much I want to trade places with her? I was looking and I let myself get distracted and now she's dead and the man who stopped to help us figure out the gas can lid was in surgery for 5 loving hours to save his leg.

Nothing is my fault, but everything is my fault. I didn't drive the car that hit her, but I was the only one to look up in time to jump clear.

Your son said he saw her in a halo and smiling before the wreck. That was loving headlights, ok, not some divine love taking her home, it was the goddamn headlights before the car hit her. I see them every second, you fucker, so don't preach at me.
