People with an honest to gosh family (including gene repositories not old enough to have given up screaming) are crashing at the commune. For a week.

Time for a purge.

That's a little severe.

First we should start with subjecting the baby to a mandatory self-criticism session, then the parents.

It was announced that JCPenney's is closing 140 stores. Where will I buy my Wrangler jeans now?

I grew up in a Ministry of State Security illegal household and you can't tell me otherwise. :putin

BTW, an update on that, one of them took my bath towel yesterday. Why you'd want to take something I rub on my balls is beyond me. The most obnoxious people to ever grace our social experiment and the place is practically a station on the lumpenproletariat railroad.

Kubo and the Three Strings  shows up as $4.99 on the main movie store screen, but the purchase price has already been returned to $14.99. I'm tired of buying movies at full price, and then not watching them until after they've gone on sale a couple times.  :'(

Bought some Tito's vodka to give to my friend's dad/excellent Jew lawyer--he reduced my 6 pt speeding ticket to a 0 pt parking violation.

Drinking from it now, we'll have to rebuy it again :doge

I went to the deli today and pointed out a Swiss cheese I wanted. They always give you a sample slice. I bit in expecting the amazing Swiss cheese taste but it turns out they sliced horseradish cheddar. My god. Who would eat that? And why? So awful. It's how I imagine bleach tastes.

I did a couples years on my old bike with a rain suit, and I'll probably ride the rain again. I'm not gonna go out when there's ice ever again though -- that was a pretty quick down :lol

Spent an hour removing like a hundred tree sap spots from GFs car. And also spent longer than that sanding the trigger on my mosin because it's crudeness is no longer character building. My hands and nails are covered in sap and wd-40. :(

Sounds manly as fuck.


LTTP: Just found out that GL's original Star Wars screenplay was adapted into a series of comics by Dark Horse. Not on Comixology, and not under Marvel's app (I looked because the other Star Wars stuff is there, before I found out it was a Dark Horse project). Amazon has it starting at $60.

This is the scarcity danger of digital comics in the copyright age.

I don't believe this. I wanted to buy some yogurt in one of those plastic buckets because for some reason yogurt from a carton is always garbage but I could only choose between 0% fat and 10% fat. Why not just normal fat? Anyways I can't believe they even offer 0% fat. It's garbage. The 0% fat craze isn't as bad as it is in the US (I think) but it's still pretty annoying.
I thought it was more of a cooking thing than a diet thing? Nonfat yogurt is great for baking, and smoothies, for example.

I had a dream last night that I was eating salt and vinegar chips and woke up with the taste of said chips really vividly in my mouth.

So I bought a bag and they don't taste anywhere near as strong as they used to.

My one coworker was getting ready to start a meeting today and he left a private Slack message open where him and another person were talking shit about me and how they wish I was gone sooner. One of them is a natural dickhead but the other I didn't expect it at all (since he is a remote employee on a different team and we don't really interact much).

That happened once to me in my first after college job. I'm very nice to everyone and I love to work hard but I got paid more with less seniority so I guess back biting was kind of expected.  I decided to find a constructive outlet for my anger and pettiness by moving on to greener pastures.

As an office politics rule, if people are willing to talk shit about someone to you behind their back, it's 99% guaranteed they'll be talking shit about you behind your back.

Personally I don't really care if anyone talks shit about me.  As long as I keep winning and advancing and they keep languishing in cubicle hell, who gives a fuck :win

My co-workers just love me. Well, partly because if I left things would start to go south pretty quick because I design at least 75% of every project (ever since the other designer left early last month (who also fucked up big time on a print design)), I do a large chunk of the quality assurance reviews, and I rarely make mistakes because I'm a perfectionist to a fault.  :doge

Current client I have to get some records put into a table to move a job forward. I've had 3 meetings on the request now. It would literally take us less than an hour to do it ourselves. Instead we have to wait for the DBA team, they will take until next Friday to complete it AND charge the project $1.3k to do it. I'm like are you kidding me?! I could have the most expensive person on my team do this, it would take less than hour and I'd have <$1.1k left in my budget. However, given that it's taken me 3 meetings and several tongue lashings to get this far I'm just going to take it in the rear because I don't want to die on THIS hill per se. :goty

Felt excited when moving to a new apartment in a new area because then I would probably get a new delivery guy for my almost-daily food delivery. ...Nope. Same damn guy. He's nice though. But I felt like dying when he thanked me for my loyality. :doge

Sometimes I go to the same places many times a week, and pretend I'm trying to decide what to eat even though I already knew, and they already knew, before I sat down.

Multiple people have asked me about my mom's social skills, which have become awkward as fuck over the last year or two. It's like she has a series of scripts that she repeats when in certain conversations, like she'll tell a story and mention people or places that the other person will have no way of knowing. Sort of like telling inside jokes to random people. All while doing it with a very loud or aggressive tone, even if it's a joke, which results in the other person just staring at her and pretending to laugh or chuckle at the end. I don't remember her acting like this until a year or so ago. Like...special fellow shit basically.

It's almost like a tic or something. And when she's not doing that she'll interrupt you during a conversation with loud, dramatic "no, no NO. OH NO" type of adlibs and other things that are just awkward as fuck. And she doesn't do it to be mean btw, but it comes off very aggressive and odd.
