Caught a cold, only nose so far, and I'm 99% sure who gave it to me given the minimal human contact I've had over the past few days. Unhygienic asshole who never washes his hands and leaves his used tissues everywhere.

Same, but the unhygienic one in my case was my 10 month old daughter.

Little petri dish.

And I just found out that the 5 black garbage bags full of paper and recyclable plastics ended up in the landfill anyway... because the recycling facility, apparently, auto-trashes black garbage bags. I mean, i kind of knew, but I wanted to use up my box of black bags.

Fuqing aye, that settles that: I'm buying that blackhead removal tool just to minimize the likelihood that I end up like that.
Thanks dude. I had just managed to forget about that video.

Cannot be unseen!!!!

My L is glowing brightly today to let the world know I has derp.

I went hiking today. I carry a GPS unit. I got home and the GPS unit wasn't in the truck. MFMFMFers, I had to drive back to the trailhead where the GPS slid off the roof of the truck after I set it there while taking my pack off. The unit was laying on the first outcrop the "road" crosses leaving the trailhead. Seventy three mile round trip including twenty three miles of off-road driving to retrieve the GPS unit.

Haven't been able to find used combat boots, so I just ordered some online. $52 shipped. That's much worse than the ~$10 I like to pay :^(

I feel drunk but I have no alcohol in me. In fact, I have an unopened bottle of red wine next to me that I bought to get wasted alone with. Now I can't drink it because the damn cold is giving me the drunkness minus the fun.

My Costco again didn't have the prime rib eye caps. =( I may have to drive to another for that delicious goodness.

I haven't taken the time to clear out a couple hundred bookmarks I'll never look at again :)

I need to do a bit of maintenance I guess.

Doing some research and realized that Microsoft Access would be the cheapest, simplest, and best solution... Why the hell can't I find a copy locally?

I found it for $125 in French, where's English.

Edit: Okay, I found it in Office 365 but I just want the one program. Don't want Outlook, I only use Outlook at work cause they force me.

Buy Office, start installation, uncheck Outlook, continue installation.

fucking Qatar Airways does not provide complimentary black car service when ordering business class, now I gotta find that shit myself, book it, and then get reimbursed for it.
