I had to stay 30 minutes late, at my job, that pays me.

Used an entire 25-pack of chipboard to line by cabinets... but now I want to line more and can't because I've hit my monthly budget -- I can afford to buy a crate, but budget, yo.

Clicked on exit game instead of logout by accident (the buttons are like RIGHT next to each other) and had to restart WoW all over again just to get to my next alt.

I'm gonna have an hour to burn at Grand Central before my train upstate leaves. I've always wanted to hit the Campbell Apartment for a drink, but I'm craving coffee more than booze at the moment. But whiskey would warm me up faster than coffee since it's cold as fuck outside.

Alcohol can increase the chance of hypothermia because it dilates the capillaries near the skin so you feel warmer while your core temp declines.

Of course it's not like you're walking across Antarctica, so . . . go for it.

I like exercising my capillaries. You talked me into it. :thumbsup:

Missed going to lunch with some colleagues so I was forced to eat a can of soup that expired on August 7th 2011. Still feeling ok, so I think the creamy chicken and dumplings were still fine. Time will tell..

Not a doctor, but half the can probably leaked into the food...

I just cleaned out a ton of old cans yesterday. Most expired by at least a couple years. One can was a disaster, it was green beans and the can rusted/leaked. That made all the surrounding cans start to rust. Trashed probably 50% or more of what was in those cabinets.

My own problem: had an old pair of shoes I stopped wearing years ago. Put it at the top of a shelf for years, didn't realize that there was a leak in the ceiling just above the shoes. Picked the shoes up today to move them, found out the shoes were filled with paint chips and plaster. Nice toxic mess -- house is really old and has lead paint -- and the shoes are going in the trash.

I started drinking too close to dinner... it's taken half the bottle to start to feel nothing.

And I'm considering getting Lasik for job prospects.

Fucking intellectually disabled person thought it'd be a good idea to put a giant water-filled vase between five modems/routers on a table. Fuckwit has a history of watering around plants and spilling water all over floors, and watering random objects like picture frames.

I went to a high end movie theatre and the recliner seats were so comfortable I took a nap during the movie.

You sound like you really care for this person.

Came home for a long weekend with the family to celebrate my birthday and now tonight they are all screaming over some zombie shit while I enjoy some beers and watch the Rangers game alone downstairs.

My RAM was handed off from DHL to USPS and has been sitting in the same damn warehouse since Thursday evening.

I paid extra shipping costs at Proflowers to get flowers sent to my wifes work on Sunday (she worked Valentines Day) and they never showed up until today.

They would only refund the money for the Sunday shipping.

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHN!


(every post in this thread should end with KAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHN! to show the proper level of 1st world rage.)

The cornbread I made two days ago tasted like refrigerator today... probably cause my cheap ass didn't want to buy some food storage containers and decided to put a plate over a bowl instead.

I still have two meals worth of cornbread that's being stored plate over plate:(. I can run to Wal-mart to get a container now, but ya know...

For some reason, I thought today was a company holiday, so I will be clocking in early the rest of the week to make my time up. Luckily my boss is pretty cool and the rest of the department just laughed at me.

I think that was an otherworldly problem.
