minor inconveniences that are not struggles

[brawndolicious]

Alarm clock broke this morning which put me behind on my trip to LA. Rental car company is closed on weekends even though I have a reservation for pick up today. UHHHH 

So now I'm waiting for a ride to get a car at the airport. I'm about to just say fuck today and get on a plane.

That massively sucks. I had a trip a week ago where they lost my reservation and then wanted to charge me twice as much so I stepped out of the line, booked it again on my phone for the original price, and then picked up the same car. At least booking things is so much easier now because of the internet.

Missed my chance to play Anthem/BFv at EA play, but that's ok I got on a standby list for a flight tonight. I forgot WWDC happened this week and there are no cars around right now. Hertz can suck it!

[Mupepe]

I got cocky and underestimated my work load from my job when I decided to do 5 week summer courses to get ahead in school. Fucking shit. I knew I was in trouble when I saw my syllabus for my math course. Multiple chapters due every single day, including weekends. My life for the remaining 4 weeks is going to be to commute for an hour, work for 9, commute for an hour home and then work and homework for 5 hours until bed. Weekends I’ll have some extra time but still, fuck this shit. Never again.

[Madrun Badrun]

Its only 5 weeks.  You got it. 

[I'm a Puppy!]

You can do it!!

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Time is flying by so fast it’ll be done in no time

[toku]

It's worth it and you can do it.

[Mupepe]

Thanks you guys. You’re awesome. Even you Stro.

[Yeti]

When you start feeling overwhelmed with your course load and need some motivation , just picture stro in the corner stomping his feet and gnashing his teeth at you

[Madrun Badrun]

I put my chunk of garlic sausage in a glass because all my dishes are dirty and now its stuck.  I'd fork it out but then I'd need to wash one.

[Madrun Badrun]

Nevermind.  Thought through the problem.  Tipped glass upside down an banged on bottom.  Now I got sausage in my mouth.  Yum.

I'm probably going to be offline during the Nintendo stream. If I am, I'll be twiddling my thumbs, chat with some nice chaps and get mucho dinero for it, so, yay - but dammit, of all the conferences to miss out on.   :'(

Brought a little bottle of Mi0 flavoring drops to work yesterday.  Squeezed two drops into a full cup of water.  Somehow the second squeeze just bounced off the water and exploded all over the place.  Shit was all over my shirt, face, and hands.     It was surprisingly difficult to get it off my skin and my shirt was a lost cause.  Spent the rest of the day avoiding people at all costs and somehow managed to make it without seeing anyone apart from my co-workers.  Tried to bleach the shit out of the shirt, but it was ruined.   :'(

[ToxicAdam]

That's crazy the shirt was ruined. I've had that happen and just used a stain-treatment spray (Shout) and it came out in the wash.

Good thing you missed nothing

Sometimes I'm asked to email things to people I don't know (usually bankers) and because I am product of white culture that means web searching names from a lot of non-European languages to ensure I use the right honorific because English is a stupid language with gendered honorifics that are still in use.

Anyway, today I had to do this with a Japanese name I thought I didn't know and the first result back was a major person in the video game industry that I definitely know.

Take an L from Nintendo executives, brehs.

did you fuck tho? 

[Tasty]

Forgot my Switch at home while visiting the rents.

I wanna play Bloodstained. :'(

[Tasty]

What kind of piece of shit buys a fucking Switch

Literally everyone on this forum, including Triumph.

[Kara]

The only Berliner Weisse they had at the specialty alcohol megamart already had fruit flavoring added to it.

...thing fell through, I sat at home and stuffed my piehole with Pizza and watched the stream like a proper Ninthing.

All alone in the office today.  Naturally that has meant requests for equipment and things you can only do when there and not remote all day long.

I wasn't about to fuck with the caffeine flavors, but even then those little bottles are loaded to the brim with sweeteners.  After that shirt mess I stopped buying them and some stomach-related problems I was having started going away. 

[TVC15]

Feeling really depressed today and I don’t know why

[Madrun Badrun]

Told one of my supervisors about a new idea I had.  He was like 'meh, what about that other idea you had?'

Left my keys turned on in the motorcycle, been having to push start until I pick up a new battery this afternoon

[Corporal]

Stubbed mah toe. Uttered some thoroughly blasphemous words. Thank fuck I'm agnostic.

Toe still hurts, though.

Obviously it had to be the smallest one on my dominant foot. How can something so tiny be so obnoxious. Wish we had hooves or something.

To do: Look into spontaneous mutation and/or Tzeentch worship.

This is so bizarre. This isn’t some humblebrag thing, I’m actually bewildered and don’t know how to feel, but I keep getting props on doing really well at this job I hate and I’m doing it totally zombified. The job is making me crazy and it kind of infuriates me because I’d rather they hated me and got rid of me.

Extreme measures may be necessary. They’re talking about sending my team to Europe for a week sometime between September and March

Go, and then file for political asylum while you're over there.

[Mupepe]

Fuck that.  Take me with you and I'll keep you walking funny on another continent

A recent fucking Windows 10 update turned my gaming laptop into a expensive paper weight. 

I shouldn't have clicked "update" without checking on Google first. The verbiage "this is really important" got me.   

So now I have to do a fresh re-install of the OS later this week (yes, I did all the other trouble shooting shit) when I decide to give a fuck.

On the bright side, this will give me more willpower/focus to work on my design portfolio during my break.

Just system restore/rollback option? AFAIK that happens before windows does its updates.

I'll look into it tomorrow.

I've been in Mac world for so long. So I'm too used to shit working without worrying about a FUCKING FIRST PARTY UPDATE BRICKING MY SHIT. 

[thisismyusername]

I mean if the BIOS is loading and Windows' logo is showing up, it's not "bricked." You're able to get into recovery options.

Also OS X does similar with it's updates IIRC, or you might need to turn on Time Machine to have it do the same.

[Atramental]

I'm using hyperbole. Don't take me literally.

I can log-in but my desktop screen is blank/black except for the recycle bin and the bottom bar and I have to type commands in the "Run" window in order to do shit.

I'm going to sleep so I'll figure this out later.

FWIW, I've had Apple OS updates actually brick my iPhone and my AppleTV.

sounds like windows explorer might have been borked? you can try kicking it back into gear by just running "explorer" (minus quotes)

of course if it was then i dunno if the bottom bar would load, either way worth a shot

[Tasty]

Switch to Chrome OS!

ate way way too much

AFAIK, even with explorer off, you can CTRL+ALT+DEL->Task Manager->Run->explorer.exe or CTRL+SHIFT+ESC->Task Manager->Run->explorer.exe without the start bar since that's a part of the explorer itself.

I follow like three THOTs on Instagram out of a couple hundred contacts. I tried to add the new IDGA account at work, so I had to log in on the work browser to do that. Of course the first fucking picture to get blitted to my screen is some THOT in a thong doing a bathroom selfie. Thanks, Instagram! Thanks, hormones, glad I didn't think to make a separate ID/login for my lechery.

Lol. Last time I couldn't pee in the cup, this time I failed my drug test because of low creatinine levels. If it happens again I start treatment over.

What causes that? Drinking too much water?

[TVC15]

I wish I was dead. 10k to the person that kills me.

[Corporal]

I'd kill you all night, bebeh. 
Srsly though, if you consider that a minor inconvenience, then you're living an interesting life. I'm almost envious. You doing a Mad Max Ironman run, TVC?


Me? Boring life.

Caught a cold like an idiot because I left the window open. Throat sore. Brain muddled. Nose on fire and leaking. I be mad. Could've been a nice extended weekend with some better timing. But no. Obviously I'll be fine once Monday rolls around. The weekend is toast. The company stays winning. Dammit.

BUT

found a new way to eat Pizza. Well, new to me. The freshly baked italian style thin crust pizza Magherita is folded in half, filled with salad, corn, thuna, mayo and onions among other things, and eaten while the pizza is hot and the contents are cold. Intredasting, to say the least. Kinda like the illegitimate child of a Calzone and a thuna sandwhich. I can dig. The salad gives it a nice crunch.
Gets really messy though if you aren't watching out for spills.

Ordered an Xbox One X.

Big and way too heavy box arrives.
Start to think it is probably the wrong product.

Open the box. Find another box inside the box next to the 4K Blu Ray's I ordered with it.
No packaging material or anything so def not electronics I think.

I Open the other box and find 2(!) Xbox One X's.

 

So now I wait a month to see if the store will figure it out for themselves but I highly doubt it.
Because my order says: 1, the packaging slip also says 1. The employee packing probably didn't know Microsoft send these out in boxes of two. 

I've send this out to some people (co-workers/friends) "Look how stupid this store is lol" but now everyone is gunning for my spare Xbox One X.
I wanted to hook-up my old Xbox One at the office so we could play games there but that will make me look like a cheapskate.

Other routes include returning or selling it. But I don't feel like packaging this thing up and paying for shipping it back.
