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.

I just got home from a really great convention but now my joints ache and I have other things I need to do today. I can sit down when I do most of them but that makes them slightly slower to get done. Standing is just way more convenient.

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.

Comcast has always been the company putting people over a barrel. In many cases they're offering the best product in your area, and they know it, so they charge you out the wazoo, and give you absolutely awful customer service.

In some cases they have it set up that they're your only option. In these parts my choices are basically Comcast or dial-up. I absolutely despise calling them because they always try to upsell me every single service they have.

I'm like no. Just...no. Stop trying. I don't watch television ever so cable is useless to me. I have a cell phone and no reason to also have a landline so no. I don't want that either. I tell them that repeatedly and even say "don't bother trying to sell me anything" but it never helps. They pull the "but but we'll save you money!" line and I'm like "no you won't. My bill will go up because I'll suddenly have services I will never, ever use added to it." I don't even own a television. What the hell would I possibly do with a cable subscription? Despite that if I ever need to call them for any reason at all I have to run the gauntlet of sales pitches between everything.

I've actually told them multiple times that if I ever move to an area with other options I won't even consider Comcast. It doesn't do a single bit of good though. Maybe I should e-mail them and complain again.

No. I made it a point to just not go anywhere near there despite being a tech person. I live in pittsburgh (well near pittsburgh more like) and have to take 376. It gums up every day. I've seriously sat still for 10 minutes before. But they can't widen it to deal with the horrendous traffic because it has a tunnel and it wouldn't help. Wheeeeee!

But I can't take the bus because it would take even freaking longer. At least the job bought me a parking pass for the ramp next door. Those run like $180 a month.


More fwp: the job market for my chosen career is best in places I just plain don't want to live.

I make so much more money now than I used to that I'm just constantly confused. I make more per paycheck then I used to in two months. I'm so accustomed to panicking over money that I don't know how to behave now. My life just suddenly became comfortable and I still have no idea what to do with that. I can pay my rent ahead of time instead of freaking out and deciding what not to pay on time every month. It's unfamiliar, strange territory.

If its really brand new spend some of it on dumb poo poo that would have given you a panic attack a few months ago. Like $200 headphones or an occulus rift or a really nice coat or a pricey lounge chair. Heck i love lists.

Well I have some debts to pay off and need to stock up on my emergency money and what have you before I make major purchases like that. I have, however, been eating out more often and drinking some good beer. First big purchases will probably be art supplies and getting my musical instruments fixed.

Granted the other side of it is that I just plain don't have expensive tastes; I also realized that with a few more years' experience I could be making way, way more (I'm a software developer now :v: ) and realize that I'd have no idea what the gently caress to do with $100,000 a year. The nice lady that I date (it's complicated) also doesn't have expensive tastes so I can't ask her for help blowing it either though I guess we could set up a ceramic studio somewhere and make pots? I don't know.

It mystifies me that some people can make $200,000 a year and still be broke all the time. What the hell do they do with it?

My car is reaching the end of its life. It certainly had a good run but I just don't waaaaaaaant to replace it. I've had it for like 8 years now and it's hilarious to tell people how many miles it has on it. It's also a '90's Toyota and there's just something special about how god damned long those cars last.

I know I should replace it but I don't have the money to just buy a car outright at the moment and I positively despise financing cars and dealing with dealerships.

Lettuce is mostly water. An entire head of lettuce is only 100 calories.

Then you get people that douse it in ranch. When I worked in a restaurant it truly amazed me how many people would be all like "I'll have a salad/just the salad bar, I need to eat healthier" then proceed to eat 1,000 calories of ranch.

I met soooooooooo many people in that line of work who were baffled that they couldn't seem to lose weight while putting ranch dressing, cheese, mayonnaise, or all of the above on everything they ate.

"It's a salad it's healthy" only works if you don't add a huge pile of dressing, cheese, and pig meat.

My current fwp is that I ended up needing to finance a car. Can't just take the bus to work; it takes an unreasonable amount of time. I hate financing cars.
