My coworker said that I am a real-life internet troll. Just saying the most outrageous things to rile people up while not really giving a shit. I am not sure whether I should wear that with pride or if i should put roofies in his coffee tomorrow.

Highs of up to 37C (99F) are forecast in southern, eastern and central England, but the Met Office says "if conditions all come together", the record of 38.5C (101F) could be beaten.

That was set in Kent in August 2003.

But much of England could experience thunderstorms and hail showers on Friday, bringing the risk of flash flooding.

Some places could see as much as 30mm of rainfall in an hour and 60mm in three hours.

Meanwhile, fire crews are urging people enjoying barbecues and other outdoor activities in dry areas to avoid "careless and reckless" behaviour that could start a blaze.

If you're considering an HSA for reasons other than current year cash flow issues but not considering using doctors who treat bourgeois or the managerial class you should accept the fact that every doctor's visit will include (at a minimum) 3 conversations with professionals who will talk to you about rationing your healthcare even though the actual cost of treatment is trivial to you.

That's the reverse of my area, San Jose. Because lots of people get one day a week to work from home so there are less commuters on Friday.

Me and 4 friends rented a house to celebrate that one of them is becoming a father. It ended in a 72 hour bender which resulted in grown ass men being drunk at 9 in the morning and waking up on a beach.
It was unbelievably fun, but I'm paying the price for it now.

Been thinking about death a lot in the last two months and not sure why. Like I'd use to think on it occasionally and get anxiety about it, but now it's like every time I watch a movie/read a book/game whatever and there's something that relates to death I start thinking about my own death and the end of my life and I get uncomfortable.

The superstitious part of me feels like the reason I'm suddenly thinking about death a lot is because I'm going to die soon for some reason, which is kinda :|

The realist part just thinks it's because I'm starting to have some free time and feeling kinda lonely and also birthday coming up in a few months and depression about dying alone and never finding the right person.

idk, I'm sorta hoping once I meet someone in my current dating-sphere this will go away. dunno.

Woke up at 3 in the morning, all sweaty. Couldn't fall asleep again despite being sleepy. Shoulda just gotten up and actually do something, but the flesh was weak and the mind unwilling. Stupid, but what can ya do.

Now it's half past six and I'm tired as fuck but I just know that I'll never wake up in time if I fall asleep now.

Waste of time. I wasn't even awake enough to play some switch.

I haven't touched my Switch for a week or so. Feels bad man. :'(

And I just know I'll be dead inside around late afternoon today because my day "started" so early.
But if I go to bed early, my internal clock will shift and this stupid exercise will repeat. So I'll just Zombie-mode through the rest of the day, being unproductive.

Growing old sucks. As a kiddo I could stay up for two, maybe sometimes even three days and just shrug off the after effects. Now I'm fucked up from just a few hours of time-shift. Someone call the manager, I want to lodge a complaint.

My cat got a cut on her eye. :'(

She was on the front porch taking care of business before breakfast and then when I let her back inside she seemed like she was in pain and I see blood trickling down her face and her eye was milky. I'm freaking out, I think some animal came up and attacked her and now she's going to lose an eye. (It still could have been another animal, but I'm thinking now she just scratched it on something. There wasn't any other sign that she had been in a fight.) So I rush her to the vet, and the vet is just like "eh, no big deal, just squirt this antiseptic in her eye for a month or two and she'll be fine".

Anyway, that was yesterday morning. She was upset all day yesterday after the eyeball thing and then having to go to the vet. She didn't want to come when we called her, she had her eye squinted shut all day whenever I saw her. But today she was acting pretty normal again. I just have to take her back to the vet in two weeks to make sure it's healing fine. Yesterday morning though, it was like "is this what being a parent feels like?"
