What first world problem did you have today?

[dave_the_nerd]

I was making cookies, and as I read the recipe, I thought, "this doesn't seem like a lot of stuff, I better double the recipe."

Misunderestimation of the week. Halfway through mixing the ingredients, I had to get out a bigger bowl and now I have like five dozen molasses/oatmeal/raisin/walnut cookies made with all organic ingredients. (Except for the baking soda.)

They're delicious, but that is too many. I guess I'll have to bring some to work to share.

Plenty of time to sleep during the day. Cant sleep at night. Classes in the morning.

I'm sorry, but that's pretty third-world... especially the -20 C part.

First-world would have been, "I forgot my gloves, so I bought a new pair, FML, I spent $20 I didn't have to."

my office had a 2 hour delayed arrival this morning due to 'snowmageddon'. (laugh.)

but my division had to be there at 9:30 to attend presentation and set of interviews with potential hire.

so i could only come in 1 hour late. :/

 

[vi edit]

Went to play a game on Xbox last night. Mandatory game update of 1700MB needed to be downloaded before I could play. So I had to start the download. Then to pass the time I tried to watch an episode of Justified on Amazon Prime. But because I was downloading a huge file my video stream was reduced down to like 320p resolution and looked horrible.

I had to actually settle for something I previously Tivo'ed instead.

having trouble deciding if i want to go with carnitas or carne asada for super bowl the big game. might just end up going with both and posting here again on sunday about having too much leftovers to fit in the fridge. :\

I missed breakfast at the deli downstairs because I was stuck on a conference call

so now I've only got candy to munch on till lunch.

 

[smackababy]

Bought all my groceries for some awesome nachos and wings on Sunday and am forced to look at them every time I open the fridge. =(

Also, am facing death by powerpoint all day.

What,.. what kind of candy??

Misunderestimation of the week.

Was it now...

 

[RagingBITCH]

I've spent more time on the toilet pooping today than at my desk working. Damn spicy sausage and some insanely fiberous greens yesterday.

 

[nageov3t]

I've got a box of maple cookies and some reeses pieces.

Yesterday I had to be away from the office (darn). It was the day that just two days ago our IT staff decreed would be the day to upgrade my old worn out computer with the latest, bestest model that's been sitting in a box for close to a year. We don't have local IT support so the IT folks travel from distant lands for this sort of thing. We have a standard image loaded to all computers and then the IT staff loads any specialized software needed by special people (like me) on top of the standard image. Knowing I wouldn't be here for the eventful event I did the needful and made up a list of all my super special software needs, pulled together all the install files and license info, and left the list, thumbdrive, and CDs required on my chair, on top of the box containing the docking station IT shipped me five months ago. We've all done this many times so I knew what they needed.

I knew what they needed... almost. What I didn't know they needed was their special form to be completed, the special form that they left sitting on top of the note I left them, the special form they left sitting on top of the note I left them that asked for the exact same information that I wrote in my note. Literally (not figuratively literally but literally literally) every single piece of info asked for on their form was in the note. But since I wasn't there to fill out their form (that they chose not to email in advance) the IT staff could not upgrade my computer and I am a lousy employee for wasting their time by doing my actual job instead of standing by to fill out their form.

tl;dr: IT people are special.

 

[smackababy]

It is almost 40F outside and I wore a large coat thinking it would be colder, rather than a sweater. Now, I might be too warm when I go out for lunch...

 

[NoCreativity]

I got up a bit early for work thinking traffic would be slow due to predicted snow. Roads were fine and traffic normal so now I get to go home early.

 

[Imp]

I was screwing around with some Lego and cut myself taking some pieces apart. Mother effer. Because of that, I've made myself disinfect it twice so far and used a bandage.

♫ Brick baby...

I was running a 3 person 8 hour patrol mission in my Garrison and upon completion the first two got their whacks in and got a green check but then Fiona dropped the ball and got a red X, thus failing the mission. Fucking worgen bitch. Cost me an epic.

Ugh! This hurts.

Witless bureaucrats

 

[Rage187]

They did not have any of the miniature doughnuts I wanted, so I had to get a full-sized one.

That one hits home. Things get better.

 

[Ns1]

they no longer stock woodford reserve handles at my local costco.

 

[JEDI]

had 2 coupons for a free 12 pack of coke.

my local supermarket had a sale:
buy two 12 packs, get 3 free.

so I'm dreaming of FIVE 12 packs for free to bring to my friend's superbowl party.

today, I get ready to goto the supermarket to get my free soda.
except that I cant find the coupons anywhere!

oh well, so I'm paying for two 12packs to bring 5.

/Grand Nagus would not be amused

Just found out my favorite Japanese restaurant in the area closed. Now I'm left with ramen and sushi restaurants for my Japanese fix.

 

[NetGuySC]

I dripped some bbq sauce on my shirt during lunch today

 

[Imp]

Dumped some stocks and the SEC charged me like a buck in fees on top of the transaction fee. I was worried it'd be more...
