What first world problem did you have today?

[IronWing]

I think I have an online crush on a guy at a tech forum message board I post at, but we don't agree on anything politically at all.

<blush>

Sent dick pics to another forum member but he won't send me any back cuz I voted for trump.

I just bought an ass cushion on Amazon and... I paid for shipping! They jacked up the free shipping limit from $25 to $35.

I have so many reward checking accounts (to maximize the high interest) that it is getting hard to keep up all of the requirements.

Chase Sapphire Preferred.

Chase Sapphire Reserve is better IMO... 100K points special right now.

Erp, yeah, that's the one I meant! People are going bananas over it!

Cat puked again today, had a bad feeling it would happen soon too because it's been weeks since the last time she did it. She was all cozy on my computer chair and I did the mistake of letting her in that room while I went out to change my tires earlier.... guessed it, she puked on the freaking chair and all over the floor in that room. So far I have not found puke anywhere else. It's a good thing I closed my bedroom door or she would of got the bed too.

Typing from a kitchen chair now, not as comfortable and gives me rather bad posture. Might have to lay down a few 2x6's to bring it up higher.

I doused the computer chair with chemicals, will let it dry and see what happens. Last time it took a few weeks to get the puke smell out. I figured leather would be better but in a way it's worse because it just seeps through the stitching and gets trapped inside. Probably end up just buying a new chair again and going back to a cloth one.

I watched this American Beauty scene again and still can't figure out what "fire bombing" is. "The only way I can save myself now is if I start fire bombing."

Qué?

Blowing shit up with incendiaries.

I've never really bothered to look at my inboxes in my bank accounts because they were usually filled with 100% trash. Just went to look and not only was it 99% trash, most didn't archive messages beyond January of this year. So, even they think they're not important enough to save.

Realized today that I violated an SEC rule many times years ago. Bank never "disciplined" me, I never saw a warning, or got a phone call or email. Maybe it was in the inbox? Will never know now.

Just received the Reserve card this evening from 2nd day AIr from UPS. Time to spend to get the 100K points bonus before the end of this year plus $300 air fare refund.

My bank uses some stupid PDF plugin, WHY?! Why not just use regular HTML? Because of that it does not work in Linux. So if they send me anything important I won't be able to read it. Worse is it's embedded, no option to download. If I could download it I could at least read it. I hate webmasters that try to overcomplicate stuff and end up making the website less accessible.

All the ads on YouTube are suddenly mastered louder. FML.

4:25 and the sun is WAY too damn low in the sky. Crap.

I can't watch CNN anymore for the news. Thought that maybe it'd be watchable after the Trump stuff was over. Now, it's probably going to 24/7/365 for the next four years.

 

[Red Squirrel]

CNN can be entertaining, but I find they cling way too much on a single thing and don't bother with anything else. Winter time when the storms hit is when CNN shines though, it's so funny seeing snow storms being reported as if it was some kind of world ending apocalypse.

 

[Imp]

I used to watch it when it actually covered the big stories of the day. Now it's one story, a couple panels consisting of hard-left or hard-right opinions. Gotta trigger every side for ratings

I spelled a link wrong to a site I regularly go to, now when I type the url into the address bar, the incorrect link appears and I always push enter on it.

 

[shortylickens]

I went over to the movie theater one day early for the new Rowling film.
Now I have to order tickets from the comfort of my home and play video games for 22 hours.

 

[Chaotic42]

Both of my front struts broke at under 14,000 miles. Took it in last week and they said the struts would be in today. Called them and they're back-ordered and may not be here by Thanksgiving.

 

[IronWing]

There are ads for cannabis on the concert tickets I just printed.

 

[Sonikku]

Well I was fired. So there's that.

 

[IronWing]

That really sucks, anything lined up?

 

[Chaotic42]

Ouch. What industry are you in and where do you live?

I checked out IMFDB -- the F is for Firearms -- for Person of Interest and I found out the show was using a modern looking bolt-action rifle as a prop for a semi-automatic. Now I am disappoint. They also pointed out that they went "pew pew" often with guns instead of firing blanks -- I noticed, probably had to do with popping guns off in the middle of New York streets.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Well I was fired. So there's that.

We had layoffs this week too, but I survived this round.

Best of luck to you.
