Despite searching all shops in my area, it seems that a brand of ready-to-drink coffee that's both decaf AND black doesn't exist. I just want to enjoy a nice drink of cold, bitter coffee in the evening without staying awake until two in the morning afterwards, damnit! :arghfist::(

I'm way overdue for a phone upgrade and should really update my plan as I can get better plans for the same price but I like to do that in person with an actual salesperson but the store in town here closed and the nearest one is like 50 miles away.

When life becomes too painful, sometimes it's better to just become a drunk.
I have so many untried nail polishes that I'm overwhelmed by choice and can't decide what to do for my nails tonight. Also, last night my fiance suggested FFXIV nails and while I did them as adequately as I could, I didn't have the right shade of green for the healers and I didn't use any untrieds so it felt like a waste of a manicure.

My job still hasn't put a new calendar in the guard shack to help keep track of what day it is. I'd put one up myself but I have a sneaking suspicion that getting a novelty calendar would get me in trouble of some sort.

Also the clock is off by like three hours but it's literally screwed to the wall with no way that I can see to remove it. It annoys me in small but vital ways.

Edit: also it's that time of year where I get all bent out of shape re: Taxes even though with my current hours and pay I make less than 7k a year, and supposedly Uncle Sam could give a poo poo about those slim pickings. I don't want to get yelled at by the gub'ment :(

I need to pee, but both my dog and his sister that I'm dogsitting are asleep at my feet and they're extremely cute so I don't want to wake them.


Also I'm realizing that the internet is a very small place, as one of the posters in this thread also posts regularly in the wedding planning subreddit. Or two people have the same clever username, which just makes me feel worse about my lovely username.

The three hour long lecture class I really enjoy going to got canceled because of an imminent storm and it ended up only barely flurrying, and it only happens once a week so now i have to wait until next monday

I forgot to wear gloves while cutting up poblanos to put in my morning crock-pot meal and now my fingers burn a little bit and no amount of soap or rubbing alcohol is getting rid of the mild discomfort

Grey Goo. Was sold to me as a return to the classic Command and Conquer feel of an RTS (before that series got dumb), but turned out to just be a different version of Starcraft. Decent game, just not what I wanted.

It's quite easy to get a trial version from their site. Register first, then google matlab trial or w/e. It will ask you to sign in and stuff and it seems like they want a paid account but nope, just log in and you're laughing. All free and legal

My post office has a dedicated parcel pickup counter: it's a little side room, you go in, hand them the delivery notice, and walk out with your stuff. Total time: five minutes.

Except for Amazon pickups. For those you have to join the queue in the main office, which takes at least half an hour, usually more, depending on how busy it is.

Who the hell thought this was a good idea? :argh:

Just bought a printer from Best Buy. Was looking at it online yesterday, and it said I was able to do in-store pickup that day. I hesitated and didn't buy it until today...at which point it's now a 3-5 day wait for in-store pickup, or 5-6 day for shipping.

My two year old nephew pulled my brand new playstation 4 off the TV desk on Christmas eve and basically smashed up the corner and broke it. I bought a new ps4 but what I should have done is not been lazy and actually attempted to repair it instead of having the attitude of "it's a new console, everything in it is propritary and I'll just waste my time opening it". I repaired it last night instead of going out on Friday, the repair was loving easy ie. "Bend the bluetooth antenna back into shape and solder the wires back onto it" and now I have two Playstation 4s and have spent the better part of $1000 on a console I don't use that much.

Something on my phones microSD card is loving up every time I restart it; I have no idea what, and it's pissing me off something fierce. I have to unmount it every time I want to shut off or restart my phone, this has never been a problem before. What the gently caress.

There's some Patriots fan in the same train car as me and he keeps screaming "WOOOO" at the top of his lungs every few minutes. Somebody told him to shut up and he bellowed "PATRIOTS NATION!"

The parade is over, guy. You didn't have anything to do with the game. Simmer the gently caress down.

I'm in the running to get a new job that would nearly double my income in two years but it's 8 weeks of training in Baltimore (across the country from me) and I'd probably be away from my girlfriend the whole time.
The job would be easier than my current gig with regular hours and paid holidays but two months of hotel living... ugh.

Yeah, I live in Mass too and I commute to Boston for school. I just had the misfortune of getting off the T at the same station as everyone going to the parade. It was nuts. Not as bad as my friend who commutes from Medford and missed six trains because they were too full of parade people.

I feel you on the snow. Been loving up my gym schedule and I had two snow days and had to take the commuter rail home from school the other day and ended up getting home four hours after my last class ended.

I got some expensive-rear end headphones a couple of months ago and I figured okay, gotta pay big money to get really good quality things, these will sound great and last forever.

Broken after two loving months because the cat knocked them off my desk. Cheap poo poo that is 1/5 the price of these has lasted far longer. gently caress you, House of Marley, I'm racist now.

I'll join in on the Boston snow chat. I recently moved here from Indiana for work, so this much snow isn't new, but the fact that there's no where for them to move the snow to causing clean up to go so slow is a new thing.

Speaking of Indiana: to celebrate the Colts making the AFC Championship and it happening to be 45 minutes from my house, I decided to go to the game, my first time at an NFL game. Was not the best experience, as you can imagine.
