Somebody complained. Grad school is full of snitches like that.

Man a B+ in my grad classes is an automatic retake. A B- and they kick you out.

Just keep replaying your courses until you get an SSS+ rank, it's required for the platinum.

It's what I did and I unlocked a silver catsuit with a cleavage line that goes down to my pubes, however, I prefer the french maid uniform I got for A+, so it seemed like a waste of time looking back.

Got called out by my own damn psyche in a dream for making so many embarrassing fanboy posts.

It was a classroom setup and the teacher was reading some of my old posts and making fun of them.

I SWEAR, I'LL CHANGE! I'll CHANGE!

Internet provider def. was not ready for the amount of traffic that was going to happen because of everyone transiting to doing their work online and my internet keeps on cutting in and out, so I've made my car my office for the time being (since the internet at the closest university still works perfectly fine)

Forgot my dog's birthday and didn't get her anything. She's 10, which is getting on. She's kind of past the age of material gifts, like toys and stuff, so I think I'll surprise her with a large family portrait of me she can hang on the wall when this thing is all over.

WFH all day. I spend a 10 hour workday with nearly 4 hours in various teleconferences, while the Japanese PM Abe finally decides to put my prefecture on lockdown. We're all stressed.

It's really hard to stay motivated to do your exercising outside when it's spring and it's in the 40s and gray every day :sad

It's harder to stay indoors when it's beautiful spring weather and all the cherry blossoms are blooming here in the Nihon'z.

Why in the motherfuck is it impossible for some people to explain a problem in more than 5 words? I think they're just afraid that they'll look dumb making the wrong guess at what the issue is which is ridiculous since I constantly do that and have no problem at all looking stupid.

So i was talking to mum on the phone today and we talked a bit about corona and suddenly she flanked me with:

"well.. you do know that the vaccine is more dangerous than the virus, right?"

Luckily she lives in a part of the country where your closest neighbour is a 20 minute car ride away because otherwise this will be upgraded to real struggle in a year or so. $:-\$

Had to take stepson to a clinic to get his nail bed laser blasted because he has a nasty ingrown toenail. ended up paying out of pocket because he’s on his step mom’s (typically pretty good) insurance and we weren’t able to get a referral because lol @ trying to see a general practitioner. We actually did get a referral from an urgent care type place (zoomcare) via video interview and had it all printed out but that didn’t count, it had to be in the insurers system

Anyway, fuck medical insurance, fuck ‘rona, going into a medical clinic right now isn’t fun

brawndolicious · « **Reply #7882 on:** April 10, 2020, 04:53:31 PM »

If you're past diapers and before viagra, nobody in America really knows the procedure for urgent medical care. What are the correct steps, costs, etc.

I've realized i have a strange habit. Whenever I get nervous I start cooking stuff. This can take place at almost any time of the day if I'm at home. Like i just made a bunch of hummus before noon because i don't know how a meeting's going to go today.

Just feed us then

We just went out for a brief walk to let doggo do her business. Came back and saw a next door neighbor walking towards us from the mailboxes. Both of us said hello and my wife waved. The neighbor just stared right through us like we weren't there. My wife was kind of taken aback by it, but whatever, we just walked on...with the neighbor right behind us. I turned around and looked at her and she continued to just stare right through me. We went to the door and my wife called her a bitch (not sure if she heard it) as we went in, lol. No idea what that was about- this is not someone we really talk to, but everyone around here is pretty friendly and always greets each other. I just talked to that same neighbor a few weeks ago, too.

Maybe I somehow misinterpreted the scenario where I walked up to you with my group in order to thank you in person for the E3 offer, said hi, made eye contact, went in for a handshake, and then you took my hand but immediately spun a 180 while the handshake was still in progress to directly put your back to me, to gasps and aghast facial expressions from the people I was with. A little bit '60s comic book villain, but charming in its forthrightness, I will say.

So I have been lots of headaches over the past couple of days, which isn't to unusual for me, but it was a bit worse than usual. I put the blame on the weather shifts.

Turns out we accidentally bought decoffeinated coffee and didn't notice it for the last week . So I probably just had caffeine withdrawal for the last couple of days

Oh man that's an opportunity there to kick the habit.

Actually one strong coffee in the morning greatly decreases my chances of a general migraine (probably due to my low blood pressure). I started drinking coffee only 5 years ago and it reduced my headaches by like half. So def. keeping that habit.
