What first world problem did you have today?

[Bart*Simpson]

My fig Newtons were hard to unwrap this morning. I had to use a knife to open them.

The horror. The absolute horror.

Oh yea, that looks right. My buddy who I visited in Boston a few weeks ago told me it'd be fairly cheap to get an Uber when I landed at Logan to his place instead of figuring out the 'T'. Well.... as I stood outside of terminal C, I could only select Uber Black. $54 and 15 mins later, I was at his door explaining how he's a dick and should buy the first round because he was about $35 off on his approximation Turns out the city/airport had just passed something where they need livery plates and some other legal bullshit from the airport to pick up customers and all. You are literally charged everything (airport lot fee, tolls, etc). You can't even select the car pool option. Bunch of communists.

I ate couple year old opened butter from the fridge!!!

Thought I'd use some of the butter someone else bought because it was just going in some Kraft Dinner... OMFG, it tasted awful. What the hell was I on, how did I think butter from years ago, opened, and collecting the fun odors of the fridge could be good.

Man, I shit my brains out last Monday... Hope it's not a repeat because my crap factory isn't feeling 100%.

It seems to start tasting curdled like curdled milk.

I was going to put some money into I-Bonds but the new rate is a measly 0.26%. The floating rate is just 0.08%. At least it's not negative like it was last year.

I had a bag with a bunch of general purpose transistors, when I did an order from Digikey I purposely did not order transistors knowing I had them. But now I can't find them anywhere. I had a few loose ones but they seemed to be faulty and the one that worked I accidentally blew up as the base pin went in the collector pin hole in the breadboard without me noticing. It did not enjoy 12 volts at the base.

Need to desolder some from old boards I guess, or I can use a mosfet, got a bunch of those, but seems overkill.

I gotta carry a bunch of banker's boxes out to the porch in the middle of the night for the donation people to pick up tomorrow.

Operator error. Eat more beans man.

Wanted to go out for drinks. Got stuck here instead.

These new Hario coffee filters are thicker than the previous ones and the coffee is taking forever to brew.

Good luck, man -- especially if you don't like butt stuff.

There are reports on the interwebs (must be true) of those gas things exploding and launching into the seat.


And the donation place didn't come pick my shit up. Fuq, exactly what I was afraid of. Now I have to hump them back inside or make a call. They even called to remind us the day before.

I'm like 90 posts away from Lifer status.

But I wants it nows.

 

[John Connor]

I don't care for the Lifer status rank. Sounds like prison. Of course, ATOT is kinda like Hotel California I guess. LOL

Should be Gold member. Or Needs Girlfriend.

got a call from my credit card company saying credit card ending in xxxx might have been compromised.
they also gave their name but that company services all sorts of co-branded credit cards.

checked my wallet 1st but it was none of them.
then I checked my sock drawer.

I have so many god damned credit cards that it took 5min sorting thru them to figure out which.

then took another 15min to figure out:
the website, my user name, my password, get my password reset, trying to remember what stupid challenge questions I entered years ago when I first created the acct, etc, etc

A couple of birds were trying to build a nest on the bracket for one of my surveillance cameras. So I wait until they have a few dozen sticks on the bracket and then go out on the porch and use a stick to push the debris off of the bracket.

This started yesterday. Today, they're still at it. Fortunnately I was up early enough that I was able to get to them before they made much progress. But they kept coming back. So either these are really stupid birds or they're really, really persistent.

Finally I decide I need to break out the chemical weapons. First line defense of choice is peppermint oil. Very strong even in very small amount. I soak some cotton in the oil and put it on the bracket and try as best I can to squeeze some of the oil onto the bracket.

Well, that worked. But now the question where have they decided to move house to. I already have one nest in the eaves on the back of the house due to a broken vent grill. It was broken by an escaping raccoon. Long story.

The People's Republic of New Jersey frown on such things. I was surprised to even find gopher smoke bombs at Lowes. I didn't think we were allowed to kill them.

My fucking insurance doesnt fucking cover me for any fucking thing.

So I had to drop it. And pay cash for a recent dental job.

Golf league got rained out, so now I can't try the new irons or new golf balls.

That donation place didn't come to pick my shit up even after I called yesterday to tell them missed me.

Then I got a call today that they were going to come back around on the weekend. F. M. L. Now I have to hump five big boxes of shit back into my home and then take it all out again early in the morning. If you were really sorry, you'd have sent someone today...

To really show them I'd throw it all in the car and drive it to a different donation place, but I don't feel like it.

Had a crappy ass headache and was tired at work this morning so at lunch I drove the 5 minutes home and laid down. I only had about 52 minutes to lay down but I didn't even end up falling asleep. Fuckin crap. Now I'm thinkin of takin a nap when I get home from work, for a couple of hours maybe.
