Ahahaha, HAHAHAHAHA!    THE MOTHERFUCKERS DIDN'T PAY ME MY EXTRA HOURS THIS TIME, EITHER! Now I'm up to 15+ hours of time that they loving owe me! I am not covering one more loving shift for anyone until this gets resolved; if they aren't going to pay me for any extra time, then I'm not fuckin' giving it.

One of my best friends got a whole whack of money from their parents' to go tour Europe. I really want to be happy for them but all I can think about is how they'd be better off squirreling at least some of that away to un-gently caress their living situation  You don't have to spend every single cent you get.

I want to be excited about the new Star Wars but I got burned as a teen by the prequel trilogy  Maybe this one will be okay since Lucas can't cock it up, though.actual first world problem of mine: I finally have enough saved up to get started buying parts of my new PC that I've been planning for a year now, and I find myself antsy. What if the parts get lost, what if they don't work after arriving, what if, what if, what if

Motherfuckers from Payroll tried to pull a fast one on me, making me think they paid the 16 hours I was owed. Instead, they pulled 16 from my next paycheck that I was supposed to get today So I got half a paycheck today. This has put my plans for the PC on hold until the end of November if it isn't resolved by then. Someone is getting severely spanked over this, and it sure as gently caress ain't me.

I don't understand... the new computer will recognize my wireless keyboard in BIOS but it won't let me use it to actually install Windows... Why  so much hand wringing and nervousness about building my first computer all on my own, and my stumbling block is not keeping a serial keyboard on hand.

Might be a good idea to see if you had a game you could just barely run and then run it maxed out possibly with modded high quality textures and poo poo. My old computer was a Radeon 5250 HD in an eMachines prebuilt with 4 gig of ram. The current one is a GeForce GTX 970 with 16gb ram and a motherboard that can to up to 32.

We are also extremely white. She's otherwise a good cook, but she really phoned it in this time. What the hell.

I have a new supervisor. This is my 7th (technically 8th if you count the guy who answered the phone call with "No I'm not, I turned in my two weeks today") supervisor. I've been at this job slightly over two years. That's a new boss roughly every three months.

Vaguely related, I keep meaning to start getting lotto tickets (now that I've built my gaming computer, there's not a hell of a lot for me to spend my paychecks on after the one bill I'm responsible for) but keep either forgetting, or sinking into . Because, in the incredibly unlikely chance that I do win any money, I'd need a ride down to Austin to turn in the ticket (or so I'm told) and gently caress that noise.

My klepto cousin is being kicked out of the state but isn't leaving until Thursday and until then, is staying with us Why? Because my mother, kind soul that she is, was the only family member who didn't tell her to take a long walk off a short pier when she got kicked out of where she was saying, because of her kleptomania. I love Mom dearly, but I really need her to understand that just because we share a few DNA strands with this person does not mean we should move earth and heaven for them. Also, SA was down all night so I had to actually pay attention to the TV instead of use it for background light and noise
