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

That is horrifying. :stare:

Also, I just found out that one of my favorite bands is playing on the second day of a festival I'm attending, which means that I can't get disgustingly wasted on the FIRST day of that festival. :smith:

I was going to put a computer desk, chair, and exercise equipment in my second bedroom, but after spending all my mornings this week dancing around the furniture-less room, I'm starting to think I kind of want to leave it empty.

...so where the hell am I going to put my computer desk, chair, and exercise equipment? :sigh:

I moved into a nice apartment two months ago after living in a total shithole for nearly five years. Two things.

1) I keep running the shower water unnecessarily. When I was living in the shithole, I had to run the water for like five minutes before it (maybe) got warm enough to bathe in, so I'd use that time to do little stuff around the apartment, but now the water is hot immediately and it throws my morning routine off.

2) I keep losing stuff under the furniture/in the second bedroom.

When I go out with my friends they like to complain about their jobs or bosses or the job market in general but I enjoy my job so I can't join in the conversation.

Similarly, ever since I got a job I love with a great salary, I feel like I can't commiserate with friends anymore. It's probably weird that my friendships were/are so heavily based on commiseration anyway though.

I never carry cash but similarly I cannot find a wallet I like. I had a Mighty Wallet (Tyvek paper wallet), but it looked horrible after 3 years, so now I'm back to my old leather wallet.

I had one of these because it was thin enough to fit into my jeans pocket (which is nothing to scoff at because women's jean pockets are downright infinitesimal). I replaced it with a standard bifold leather men's wallet, but it just isn't the same. :smith:

The people at the McDonald's simply refused to acknowledge the existence of milk until really recently, and it drove me insane. The situation has improved -- however the exchanges have gone from

Employee: What would you like?
Me: Number 9, medium coffee, 3 milks, 3 sugars.
Employee: *punches in 3 creams, 3 sugars*
Me: [internal screaming]

to

Employee: What would you like?
Me: Number 9, medium coffee, 3 milks, 3 sugars.
Employee: Do you want milk or cream?
Me: [internally "What the gently caress did I just say"-ing] Milk, please. Thanks.

"Cream" and "milk" aren't even similar words, so why the gently caress should there be any confusion whatsoever?

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.

FWP: just saw my niece, 12, and nephew, 9, and they are both so big and adultish I was surprised. [...] They're both that slight embarrassed to be seen with relatives in public phase, and it's somewhat awkward to suggest we go to the movies or have a game day when they're older and might be interested, or they might not want to hurt my feelings, it's hard to say.

Even when I was in that phase, hanging out with my favorite uncle was always awesome. Then again, when I was 12, my favorite uncle was 24. Are you either the favorite uncle or young enough to seem cool to them?
