If that's all it is why are you going?  they're not going to do anything if you miss the recall and it doesn't void anything so who cares?  They suck.  Take it to another dealer and they'll also do the recall and probably won't smash your balls in a vice like these people.  I would have ignored their call.

I don't mind dropping it off to "finish" this if they can actually get it done in a short enough amount of time.  Also because my wife happens to really like a restaurant nearby and it's an excuse to go eat there.    :lol  But am certainly not rushing back. 

Sure as hell never going back there when it's time to get even just an oil change, even with the first one being free (thankfully this perk is honored at any service center).  Just glad that all of this has also been free because fuck paying for service this shitty.

 :lol  Without traffic, it's like 15 minutes away, and on the weekend my wife can drive her car there with me so we can just dump the other one off and come back whenever.  I sure as hell don't trust them to get it done in an hour or two.

I'm trying to weasel my way out of an event with a bunch of people I don't want to see but of course a couple of them are trying to call me out on my bullshit excuses and I'd just want to tell them that I don't want to see them, leave me alone goddammit, but I can't do confrontation of any sort so I'm just stuck making more excuses and hoping they let go.

When will I stop making any sort of acquaintances since other people want to do disgusting human interaction stuff and I just want to be a complete hermit and never have to talk to anyone. Also when will I learn to just say no, I'm a massive pushover. And since I'm so clearly a regular life of the party, why the fuck do these people always insist that I take part  ::)

Also my skin is pissing me off, it was pretty good for a while and now my forehead is breaking out like crazy. I should start eating healthier again since pure skin care doesn't seem to do shit.

The ceiling fan light in my game room started going out on Friday.  It's one of those LED lights where they tout that it will last two-three decades without needing to be replaced.  I think it lasted for 2.5 years. 

You can't just get a replacement (maybe possible through the company?) and rather than worry about it, I decided to take it down and just put up a regular old bulb fixture instead- I like using smart bulbs in this room and this gave me an excuse to put another one up.

Has me mildly concerned that some of the other fixtures we put up over the past few years are also just gonna conk out like this one did.  It's not particularly difficult to put these things up and they don't cost much, but still- makes me miss just changing out a light bulb instead.

This happens to me far too often.  Will set an alarm and just want to snooze for 20-30 minutes around 4pm...then the next thing I know it's 5:30 or 6.   :-\

I try to avoid naps for this very reason, but I was naive enough to think it wouldn't happen this time. The worst thing is that I only felt tired because I was re-adjusting to a different schedule (something that's become more difficult as I've aged).

I thought mine was a goner too until I power cycle'd that bitch. Eleven years and still going strong.
Mine's about to go for sure. It doesn't stay on without a signal. It's supposed to show "no signal", then go into standby, but it just turns off. With a signal, it takes a couple tries, but stays on. Something inside the power supply has gone sideways, for sure.
If it's just some caps that need replacing it'll be an easy and inexpensive repair, but I'm gonna use it as an excuse to get a new unit. :doge

I'm interested in seeing how long it takes from now on to completely die.

Also, shopping for new monitors is an inconvenience in itself. 1080p still dominates, 1440p hasn't caught up at all and is markedly more expensive. :shaq2

Man, Amazon's catalog is so disorganized. How can the biggest e-tailer (or is it Alibaba?) be so shit at indexing?  Fucking copy the full datasheet at least. :rage

Yeah, but you have to use something like this to get pixel perfect scaling, even at integer ratios, because reasons.

I think 1440p can look decent on 4K screens, but I haven't looked into it much.

It’s pretty embarrassing to have to ask your wife to help you bathe and sit on the toilet. I can only sleep in one position and my left arm falls asleep because I hold it in a weird position to keep the road rash from hitting the covers or bed. I waddle everywhere I go all stiff legged at like .2 mph.

In case anyone wants to see, here is my knee

Was at the movies yesterday getting my animu on watching Battle Angel.  This was a morning show and there were parents there with little kids who totally shouldn't have been watching this movie.  Them getting up and leaving was understandable and not really a distraction.

But about a quarter through the movie, this little kid with a big drink started coming into the theater and would sit down next to us, drink everything, leave, and then come back in a few minutes later (the theater has free refills).  He kept doing this over and over again to the point where it started getting annoying, because he kept walking in front of us.  He wasn't actually watching the movie, so I guess he was just that bored of whatever movie his family was watching.  Maybe he was going in and out of more than one movie.

Also noticed several other people coming and going, albeit with less frequency.  Have never been to a movie before with such a noticeable number of people who kept getting up and leaving/coming back before.  Dunno what the hell was going on.   :lol

I had that same dream only I was watching you watching them and then watching you on your cleansing walk.   Dream you should buy new shoes.  They looked worn out.

Had a stomach virus since Sunday evening. Had to use 2 days of PTO, turns out that my contract has 10 days total, and those where the last 2.

Only have a month and a week to go on this contract, so it's hopefully not going to be a problem.

Didn't eat anything from Monday evening through Wednesday noon. Not eating anything for 36 hours was weird. Even then, I only had about 200 Kcals of porridge on Wednesday, and the same again today on Thursday.

Hoping I can eat something normal tomorrow night.  :-\

Rather than drive or fly, decided to do two back-to-back overnight bus trips from Monday night to Wednesday afternoon as I did interviews between LA to Vallejo. Didn't sleep and back still feels fucked.
