Was by myself at work for most of the morning and then my co-worker, who called out for the like the fifth Monday in a row yesterday, comes in looking sick. 

He got progressively worse over the next two hours and this culminated with him suddenly vomiting up while talking to someone on the phone.  Fortunately he puked into a trash can at his desk, but it was this nonstop stream of puke for a good five minutes.  Then he gets up and goes and pukes in another trash can.   Felt bad for him and he went over after this.

The "inconvenience" here was me sitting in a small office room with a hideous puke smell.  I told my boss and he said someone was coming to clean up, but they took fucking too long.  Finally they came and things were back to normal, but it was pretty hard to each lunch after that.   :yuck  Was glad I waited an hour or so before even trying to eat something.

I went into the bathroom at work today. Someone was pooping in the stalls. It smelled like undigested raw fish mixed with the grossest, stinkiest shit. I quickly pissed, walked out the side door of my building, and vomited in nearby bushes. It was early, so there weren’t a ton of people around yet. It was stealth.

Great Fucking C'thulhu, you don't hang out in that environment. You tell your boss you're unable to work while breathing vomit particles, invite them to call you when facilities has managed to clean things up.  :-X

Had blood tested last week. Got a call back from the lab that basically said theyd like to take another sample to look at my immune system more closely, she said "it's probably nothing - but we need to be sure and have a look". Which is what I think is the go to phrase whenever they have to ask that.

Suddenly this sense of dread has amalgamated around me.

Bought seven puddings for the upcoming week

Got home, ate one to see if it's tasty. It was.

That was Tuesday.

Strangely, now all the puddings have evaporated. I might have a pudding thief hiding somewhere at home.

Somehow, I'm too content and sated to look for them, though. Being a proud single, I can't even delegate the hunt to a pet or loved one.

It's a shame though. I could go for another pudding. If I ever catch that thief I'll be giving them an earful. :-\

I was more annoyed that my co-worker just sat there instead of running to the restroom, TBH.  That's what I would have done.

He hasn't come back to work since and I heard he went to the ER the other day.  Damn.   :o 

It has made work a nightmare in the mornings for the past few days.  With people out on vacation or leave, we're understaffed, I.E. the only one there to support an entire law firm for a few hours is...me.
:nothot
Am in the office right now, too, which sucks.  I'm supposed to be able to work from home today, but volunteered to come in since otherwise there won't be anyone here until 11:30 AM or so.  Absolutely ridiculous and rather than listen to people wanting to borrow equipment get pissed off on the phone, I just decided to come in.  Going to go back home around noon, though.

Finally a proper minor inconvenience:

I'm starting to dislike the Switch OS (or rather, GUI). It's just such a hassle to find one of your games once your library grows a bit.

I'd rather have more rows of icons, plus folders or at least filters. I honestly miss the 3D cover flow interface from my hacked Wii. That one was dope.

Right before I was walking out of bathroom, this dude lets out a moan like he was standing in front of Demi's mom and not urinal.  I leave the bathroom and two people in the hallway eye me.  I scurried back to my desk with a shame I didn't earn.

Having trouble this year figuring out Xmas gifts. Especially for my girlfriend. I did super well the last few years but this year I just can't figure out what to get. I spent about 30 minutes going down a rabbit hole finding a cool flintlock pistol replica because earlier this year when we were at a Ren faire and she wanted to buy one but the one she want was sold out so she didn't get one. I'm not sure if I should spent 80 bucks on one she may not like.

So far I found a The Adventure Zone shirt and an Everyone's Idol Majima keychain but those are tiny supplement gifts. Still have to find the primary GIFT.

If he was standing in front of demi’s mom, it would be more of a heave than a moan.

A minor inconvenience:

Package is supposed to come today via UPS Next Day Air.  They send a tracking link and the package is out for delivery at 10 AM this morning.  It's 9:17 PM right now and it still hasn't come.  When I checked the GPS tracker, the truck was on my street going up and down the road for two hours.  It then stopped at an address for 30 minutes...then disappeared, and now it's in another area.
:neogaf

Edit: Looks like he may be coming back this way though.

Edit 2: He drove right past me.   :lol  I give up.

Gotta say, surprisingly the best shipping service for me during this crazy holiday shopping season has been the USPS.  I keep getting stuff ahead of schedule from them.  Everybody else is late or fucks up.  Am curious about this UPS package because it said it has three games in it...but one of the three came today from another courier.  So does that mean someone fucked up and I'm gonna get two copies?

Dosukebe, what's your job and why do you get to just leave whenever you want all the time?

IT service desk at a law firm.  I don't get to leave when I want to- that was a special case because I wasn't supposed to be in the office Friday (I work from home three days out of the week), volunteered to go in to cover, and was told I could go home at lunch to finish out the day when the next guy got in.  But then SNOWMAGEDDON happened and nobody else came in, so I got the fuck outta there.  Took me an hour an to get home whereas it usually takes like 15-20 minutes.  My boss was also there and it took him four hours to get home. :dizzy

It's pretty nice getting to work at home so much.  Currently I'm in the office on Mondays and Tuesdays...so I get to finish the rest of the week at home.  Always feels awesome being done on Friday and am already at home.

I just spoke to Amazon to complain about it.  Not blaming them but just wanted to get a courier complaint in.  They told me to call in and they're trying to contact UPS now, but it's not like they can do anything about it.  I just wanted to get it on record that the driver was all over my neighborhood and then lied about the weather.  He was at one address for a really, really long time- was he chatting?  Eating?  Fucking somebody?   :P

Plus, the UPS distribution hub this stuff comes from...is like five minutes down the road.  :doge

I ended up getting inadvertently transferred to a UPS rep (WTF? :lol) and let them know what happened.  She put a complaint in, but it was pretty obvious that nobody cared, as expected.  I let them know that this contained a gift (tonight was the first night of Hanukkah and there was an item that came out today in there for a family member...would have gotten it earlier otherwise) and got a little bit more sympathy.  The Amazon rep also called me back and told me that he got the run-around from the UPS rep he spoke with and they wouldn't give him a reason for the delay, which he said violated some policy or something, so he's escalating it further.  They gave me some credit for the trouble.

Really want get a video doorbell or camera now.  Not for suspicious people...but to monitor how packages are being delivered, 'cause with all this complaining, I get the feeling they're gonna be chucking shit at my door.  :doge

I have a friend who is ultra-feminist and posts angry rants all day. That's fine. No issues. But today she started taking part in re-tweeting and pushing this idea that trans people are just enforcing sexist ideals and therefore they shouldn't exist or at least call themselves "allies"

We have strayed too far from god's light. There is no hope.

Anyone ever use a Neti pot? I’m thinking about getting one after work because my sinuses are STUFFED with thick mucus

I have used a medical pump to shove warm saline through my nose. It works great, but isn't fun to watch. The saline makes it not painful, but getting the balance right is difficult. Sometimes my eyes are pretty red afterward, but I breathe freely for many hours afterward. It alleviates many allergy symptoms without drugs.

Also, I'm not sure how Claritin spray works, but some of those sprays are horrible for your nasal passageways. Afrin, in particular, was called out by my ENT surgeon as being evil.

Dont use afrin, causes rebound congestion worse than the original congestion
