The dishwasher just finished running, but the dishes and utensils are still too hot to handle and I'm hungry now.

In the midst of a drought (okay, that's second and third world problem) I have to catch the cold water in the shower in a bucket until the hot arrives. The water goes to the outdoor plants, but still.

Actually, should have been doing this all along, but now that I have to?

i almost felt bad for someone in a drought :biggrin:

I've been seeing HDMI/display port/ DVI plugs on almost all recent motherboards and been wondering WTF. Turns out GPUs are now being built into almost all CPUs... And it's been going on for like four years -- my current system was built five years ago. Why did no one tell me?

Spent Saturday grilling and that night smelled like smoke. Now, the first world problem is that I was hungry the entire time due to constantly smelling like BBQ. =(

I've been trying to submit my living expenses for reimbursement all morning and the stupid portal keeps freezing before I can complete it. :(

I....bought too much food to fit in my freezer, so I had to eat a bunch of stuff to make room.

I had Chicken Kiev for lunch... Holy shit that was a lot of butter oozing out from the center. I slathered it all over my chicken so it wouldn't soak through the container -- ya, that's why.

And I got burnt roasted potatoes instead of the rice I wanted because I thought she was serving the other person, but was getting my shit. They still tasted great, but damn.

When I got home, it was hot.


Had to wait a whole 10 mins before the AC cooled it down. :(

Effing molex/4-pin connector's pins were out of alignment so I had to use another cable to hook up my $20 Noctua fan.

And I almost ripped out the SATA signal cable from my brand new WD Black (or the mobo). Tried pulling out the HDD tray and forgot the cable was really short.

Getting my custom ROM loaded on my new HTC One M8. After loading the new ROM, carrier data signal strength was questionable. Tried many different things all night, and finally I realized after driving around wasting gasoline with the phone eyeing the signal strength that evidently the evening storm must've knocked out the local cell tower. Go figure.
