The camera on the right side of my car has something on the lens for about a week and I have been too lazy to clean it off.

Had to talk to an agent to add a single yellow rose to the flowers I was spending $200 to send today. Got done.

Got tired of all the music on the 16gb thumbdrive in my truck stereo. Didn't want to walk out this morning to get it, so I grabbed a 32gb out of my desk and loaded it up with 16-18gb of mp3s. Forgot to plug it into usb3 port so it took it long enough to make the time I'm leaving the house an issue

Get out to truck, start up, get going, I pull out the thumbdrive, stick the new one in....and it's not recognized because it's formatted NTFS, not FAT32. :mad::mad::mad:

I ordered 2 eggs, bacon, and cheese on a roll.

I only got 1 egg, bacon, and cheese on a roll. :'(

at least they didn't charge me for the extra egg.

Subway got delayed, platform got filled with people, escalator almost started "walking" me into a wall of people. Should have taken the stairs if I knew how bad it was up top.

I applied for a CD online, I had to verify 2 credits/debits on my checking, then the transfer was successful. Today I get an email from the bank stating they need a copy of my driver's license. I call them and it took almost 30 minutes for the dude to answer my questions (I was put on hold after each one).

Feeling sick, so a boost of caffeine and sugar would be nice. Went to the soda machine and it wouldn't take my only dollar bill. =( Had to stick with coffee instead.

I forgot that because of the holiday this week, the trash won't be picked up until tomorrow. And took the bin out to the curb a day early. :oops:

I explained how someone on the internet was wrong, and they didn't believe me. :|

They are shutting down the 16 core/node sever at work for maintenance over the weekend. I have to run my jobs on the 12 core/node machine.

Found out that Stargate is being rebooted

FUCK

At least it's being done by the original movie's writers, I guess.

How is this a problem? This is great news.

Potentially, sure, but considering the general track record of reboots it's more likely they're going to make a mockery of a decent movie and a good show.

Bought my daughter a car for about $5k and she totaled it in about a month. I told her after that she should start learning to jog.

I had a napkin covering my "Slurpee", when I opened the door in my A/C'd building, it blew off, and I think there was little bit of it on the napkin and now it may be a little little bit on my shirt.

For months I am farming & spending bloodshards in Diablo 3 in the hopes to get a Cindercoat. I now spent 32.000 shards and TODAY, it finally dropped. And it had very, very shitty rolls and no sockets.

Well..not me but my mom.

She's had double knee replacement surgery.

Now she's looking at double hip replacement.

Her knees and hips are constantly hurting.

I feel really sorry for her.(BTW,my mom is 70+ and my grandma is 96.)

My leg touched the outer part of the toilet seat. The damn toilet paper shifted when I sat down. FML. Wish I had a hole to squat over in the ground...
