minor inconveniences that are not struggles

[shosta]

I signed up for a four week accelerated course (I thought it was 8 weeks).

we will cover four weeks of material every seven days.

I've made a huge mistake

[BisMarckie]

You'll be fine. just try to half-ass it as much as possible while still remaining within the course requirements.

[shosta]

All assignments, quizzes, and exams are available in advance of the due date and can be turned in early.

... I wonder how fast can I do this course?

[BisMarckie]

How do the quizzes and exams work? Do they just ask about stuff that is in the course material?
If yes, just use ctrl+f and try to learn as little as possible.

[Madrun Badrun]

I hope it's accelerated advanced public speaking.

Can’t enjoy a spoonful of peanut butter anymore without thinking about Arv tending to my backside

My dog says the same thing.

"four weeks worth of suffering every seven days." has been 2020 so far.

Long ass company email today, which boiled down to the following:

The company is proposing at least 85 redundancies.
the company policy of requiring holiday to be taken in the calendar year (“take it or lose it”) will stay. (previously we got the ability to take it forward this year)
Extension of the shorter working week to end July when it will be reviewed again.

Basically at this point looks like the house is gonna fall through thus meaning quite a bit of wasted money,
work are being just dick really, the sacrifices I and others made by taking a 20% pay cut to save others jobs
seem to have just lined company pockets and they're now just doing what they wanted to do anyway.
 Luckily my CV is up to date so going to fire that out to a few agencies today just to see what is out there for me.
I can't keep working at a place that's quite clearly taking the piss out of me. I just feel fed up with it.

Maybe a bundle of mystery bricks could appear outside your workplace tomorrow, no one knows how they got there?

Considering quite a few government offices are in the same building that'd certainly be very interesting. Could be anyone, although trying to brick my floor that is fairly high up would need one of these bad bois

[Rufus]

A hair somhow got flicked straight into my eye while I was trimming my beard.

I could clearly see where it was, but when I got the tweezers out of the cabinet I blinked and now I can't find it any more.

This is going to torment me when I least expect it. Hope I don't wake up with a swollen shut eye tomorrow.

[CatsCatsCats]

Go cry about it

(Might get it out)

[Rufus]

But what do I do to make myself cry?

[CatsCatsCats]

Watch Grave of the Fireflies whilst chopping onions

[Tasty]

Watch Jurassic Bark.

[Madrun Badrun]

After a walk, my dog just rolled onto her hip and lifted her leg to groom her vagina area and instead farted right in her own face.  She looked surprised. 

[Rufus]

Watch Grave of the Fireflies whilst chopping onions

You know, I don't need this eye anyway.

[Fifstar]

Can't stop thinking about arguments on online forums and don't get shit done today. Just stop it stupid brain 

[CatsCatsCats]

Being laid off is really starting to piss me off now that it’s been raining for days and there’s nothing but rain in the fucking forecast

[Madrun Badrun]

I can't stop my French fork. 

[chronovore]

I can't stop my French fork.

Whuzzat?

[Ghoul]

Ergh, rough day at work seeing people I like being made redundant, no one in my team luckily, we're understaffed as is.... But yeah feels shitty to start locking off access of those I like.

[Madrun Badrun]

I can't stop my French fork.

Whuzzat?

My beard won't stop, can't stop splitting into two. 

[Raist]

Whuzzat?

MMMMF fivesome.

[team filler]

shut up! fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a french fork up your ass!

[Madrun Badrun]

That does not sound either legally nor socially acceptable for 1970. 

[CatsCatsCats]

Depends on the party you were at for the latter

[chronovore]

shut up! fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a Jell-O salad up your ass!

[Madrun Badrun]

Well you'd know.

An email was sent out last night saying that they've decided to make tomorrow a work holiday.  Awesome, except the last time they added a new work holiday, nobody paid attention to the email announcing it and the one guy there on my team that day got annihilated with calls from people wondering what was going on. 

We're prepared for that this time, with a few people working throughout the day and two backups.  Plus it's also a much quieter period of the year anyway, so I volunteered to be a backup, because hey, possibly work like I thought I would anyway and get paid holiday overtime?  Sure. 

Just can't help but think we're gonna get destroyed tomorrow in a repeat of last time.

No one liked my motorcycle at the lake picture in the triumph thread the other day :'(

[benjipwns]

An old women in front of me fell and hit her head and cut it while I was walking my dog.  I helped her back up.  She seemed to embarrised, I felt really bad for her.

I was drinking a Gin Tonic, so even though it was a typo, maybe there is some merit to that.

My Amazon package was lost.  Got a refund but can't reorder because the items are out of stock.  Was waiting nearly a month for it too.

Got a 2nd degree small burn on my hand between two fingers. Right before a 3 day weekend where I was gonna relax and heal some other health issues going on. 

I'm not used to cooking fry pans in the oven. In fact this is the first time in 3 months of cooking I did that. I made enchiladas and cooked an aluminum fry pan at 425F for like 8 mins. I wore gloves taking it out of the oven and putting it on the stovetop

...but a minute later when I went with a spatula to lift one out and onto a plate I couldn't get the spatula under it and instinctively I grabbed the handle of the pan without gloves to hold it still with the other hand and burned the area between the first two fingers that grabbed it.

I get little first degree burns here and there cooking every day, but it's been a while since I had a blistered up bad 2nd degree burn. So all my healing ointment gel stuff from years ago is gone and I have nothing besides some bandages that don't fit the area well.

Going to try to get an instacart order from the market first thing tomorrow with some petroleum jelly. Will see how bad it's blistered and feels tomorrow morning I guess. It's not terrible but a couple hours later it's still burning somewhat, so it's definitely cool showers and everything being a pain in the ass for the next few days until it heals.
