Weighing in at an all-time low over here. I look amazing naked and those gaunt cheekbones are lit.

So you don't get drunk/hangover munchies?

Drinking kills my appetite for some reason. And when I'm hungover all I want to ingest is caffeine. I'll probably drop dead someday soon but at least I'll look good doing it.

Saw a really obnoxious man trying to get a dogs attention today as it walked (then had to be pulled) by its owner who was trying to ignore the man. I didn't say anything and I'm still pissed with myself.

If I was a real man like Am or Drinky, I would have gotten the man to stop, or be hit in the head with a crowbar.

This guy?

Decided to go to pop eyes for the first time in my life. I was wondering around china town looking to for a place to eat, saw a fit good looking black dude go into pop eyes and said to myself 'well if he can eat there it cant be so bad'. Everyone that came in after was fat. Also took 15 mins to make a sandwich.

Also coming back some dude runs to catch the elevator, I hold the door even though it was half closes, and he hits the button for the next floor. Bitch if your going to run just take the stairs 3 meters away.

This has been my life today.

Buying groceries, and the old lady in front of me was arguing that some baby monitors she had purchased were scanning $5 more expensive than the sign on the shelf. I had already placed all my items on the conveyor belt and there were people behind me so I was trapped. First a supervisor had to come over to make sure the item was scanning correctly (it was) then they sent someone to go check on the sign. He returned with a different brand of baby monitors at the price she had thought they were, and let her know she had been looking at the wrong shelf.

A colleague pretty much quit yesterday. I was not super close to him but he was a nice guy regardless. He asked for a raise after 5 years of working here, arguing it was not normal he was paid the same as the people he has trained (and without a raise since he started). He obviously didn't get it and didn't like either what response he was getting.

When there was plenty of work (including nights) the shitty daily rate was sweetened quite a deal for everyone but now that the activity is sluggish if not stopped for some, the executives aren't giving lots of clear perspective and our dept. heads are not showing a lot of love, all the problems of the terrible wage structure (or total lack thereof) are bubbling to the surface along with whatever professional bitterness was stockpiled.

Not very promising for expecting any raise there.

One of the supervisors at work has tourettes so you'll hear a meeeeeeep or two when he's nearby. Everybody just ignores it, but what fucked with me were his catchphrases that I didn't know about.

He faked me out a few times with this one, a confrontational "you talkin to me?!" I'll hear it, stop what I'm doing and look in his direction like :confusedtravolta.

Happened a few times before I became conditioned to ignore it. He also loves talking about kicking ass; he'll tell people how many asses he's kicked that day and then threaten to kick their ass too

I always flip with the pan. I learned it ages ago. Now that I think about it, it should be possible to practice with dry materials if you don't know how, but I never bothered with that.

But it's probably impossible with a cast-iron pan because you need to make a quick jerk movement with the pan and cast-iron is way too heavy for that.

Too bad there's no one there to ever see you do it.

Flying season is just starting. I've been tinkering with my helis and planes getting a list of items and spares I'll need. I went to go to my local shop today and found out they went out of business 4 days ago. It really sucks because there's not many hobby shops around but beyond that the owner was an awesome guy. Truly an earn your business type guy you don't see much. He would take the initiative and price match items for me without me asking. "Oh let me see how much it is on Amazon right now. I want you to come back." He also gave me great advice and didn't just sell me shit. You could tell he actually wanted you to enjoy the hobby. He really earned my loyalty. I never bought online.

Road construction started 7 months ago on their street and made it one way. The detour was 4 miles so their business plummeted.

I'm really surprised how bummed this has me. His website says he's selling everything and is going to try to regroup. I hope so. Most hobby shops are snobbier than your average GameStop and his shop was around for 25 years. This blows.

My Nike+ Kinect Training game's save data disappeared, losing all my progress toward the 9,000 Calories Burned Achievement. Reconnecting my Nike+ account, which shows that I've got about 7500 calories burned so far, did not restore the locally saved amount. It will not hurt me to build up that amount again, but I get nervous whenever grindy games delete my fucking save files.

MOAR HI-TEK HIJINKS: Trying to do the right thing and purchase a Maya LT subscription rather than using The Internet Store. I benefited from Maya LT's 30-day trial, it's a great product, and I'm starting a new business so I want to be squeaky clean and not all Crytek slimy.

That said, Autodesk's official page is redirecting me to their Japanese site for sales, and there are two major motherfucking problems with that:

My company's in the USA, my bank account is in the USA, and my taxes are done in the USA; this ongoing expense needs to be associate with all that.
I've got the patience of a gnat's ass-hair right now for troubleshooting if this gives me the Japanese version of the software.

I'll add that Autodesk wants 30% more for the subscription at Japanese prices, too.

Was up til 2am chatting with a friend who's having a rough time in her marriage to her pretty boy husband.
she was like "I had this guy that I really loved. But sorting out the distance was just taking too long. Then I met my now husband, and he was really really handsome. So I left that guy and married the handsome guy. Well physical attractiveness wears off after a few years and now there's nothing left in our relationship. I secretly messaged the original guy back that I still loved him and I was sorry and he told me that he never wanted to speak to me again. Now I'm in a loveless marriage and the one guy I did love wont talk to me."

you did this to yourself. Duh.

Autodesk's site is a steaming pile of inconsistent horseshoe though. The US site interrupts the page-load with the redirect to the Japanese site before any navigation can happen.

Been pushing really hard to settle my recent debt situation and today I just noticed my bank account dipped below 1k for the first time in... probably 7+ years. Had a slight panic but realized that I'll be making it back slowly then with my girlfriend moving in I'll suddenly be spending a lot less in rent and utilities.

So as long as I don't make a sudden string of bad decisions this inconvenience should turn into a triumph
