My hair is in the awkward phase between fashionably short and fashionably slightly long, so it has odd tufts that I have to wet down.

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

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.

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

I got a new PS4 and Destiny. The WiFi was down and apparently means I can't play Destiny even if I don't want to do the online multiplayer. Then today the WiFi came back but Destiny says it has to download a 7GB patch but that I can skip it if I don't want to play online. However when I launch the game it refuses to let me play till I get the patch. I am extremely cross right now

Haha I'm aware it didn't live up to the hype but I never pay any attention to the media around games. I'd played a bit at a pal's house and liked it and it was down from 70e to 30e.

Today's FWP is that I think my first night back training after snapping a ligament has inflamed the ligament.

I overslept this morning and didn't get into the office till almost 1pm. I just missed everyone else leaving for lunch and they went to my favourite restaurant. I ended up reading my book with a cup of coffee in one of the indoor gardens but it wasn't as quite as good.

I'm finishing a CS major very soon and need to figure out what to do next. I probably have a gently caress load of options because my math skills are good and I wrote a paper on AI but...I haven't heard back from anybody, haven't gotten any job offers yet, and need to get the GRE out of the way. The uncertainty is what bothers me because I just want to know if I'll need to move to Pittsburgh or not.

This bothers me only because I really don't like Pittsburgh but might end up there anyway.

I'm pretty sure this is the most first world problem I've ever had.

A pal of mine had a lot of luck working for betting companies and banks who are desperate for CS and Maths grads which are like gold dust.

Is anyone around you still smoking? I tried to quit a few times and it never really stuck until the people I always went out for a smoke with either changed department or also quit. The only other thing is no longer how long you are off them "I can handle just one" is never true.

I finally got a graphics card and it was an absolute mare to install. I had to put in and out a few times as the screen stayed black when it was in and I had to install drivers before rather than after like the instructions suggested. However it refuses to work with my monitor and will only display on my TV so everything looks pixelated and disgusting. I'm hoping it's only the VGA/DVI adaptor that came with it and not the DVI port as I know the monitor and VGA cable are fine. I should be able to get a pure DVI cable and VGA/DVI adaptor in work tomorrow so hopefully one of them will work. I just want to sneer at howeasily it runs Alan Wake 4 years after I bought it and it mocked me with its minimum requirements.

I got Tumblr triggered and touched the poop because some acquaintances were being incredibly homophobic on social media and I couldn't hold it anymore so I came out of the closet on that circle while trying to educate them on some topics. But no, apparently I wasn't subhuman until I admitted to also liking ladies.

I'd been avoiding emails for a while because I'd work to show my supervisor that I hadn't finished yet. Checked my email last week and was happy to see no emails checking in on me. Found out tonight our expensive new email system had decided his gmail account was spam and he had in fact been checking in :saddowns:

I try to be better with recycling and being less wasteful. I have a glass bottle at work to fill my water in and even bought reusable baggies for fruits instead using the free plastic ones in the shop. We sort our paper and carton at home.

But my issue is how anal my girlfriend is with what she puts into the carton box. Even the really, really small cartons of let's say toothpaste and the empty rolls of toiletpaper. We need to bundle it up and bind it with string so everytime it's loving mission impossible to somehow make these small pieces not just fall out again every time. But I can't actually be mad as they still make a big part of the waste we have.

You need to basically do layers man where you squish the small ones between larger ones.

In our building there is a side door and the front door, taking the side door gets you to your car 30-45 seconds sooner but it's alarmed at 6pm. Every night some oval office leaves at a quarter past six and fills the building with an incredibly loud alarm that doesn't get shut off for at least an hour because security are lazy cunts. You might think "surely not!" but they are cunts. I can see them right now out the window smoking. The alarm has been going off for an hour and forty five minutes and I told them about it an hour and thirty minutes ago.

The barista overfilled my coffee so little rivulets of coffee kept leaking out from under the lid as i was walking back to the lab. Just before I got there the cardboard sleeve pulled a part because one rivulets had soaked it through even though I'd been dabbing all the ones I saw with a tissue.
