What first world problem did you have today?

[snoopy7548]

There's a store in Bisbee ( @Zeze ) that sells them. I'll be there on Saturday if you'd like me to grab you a bag.

Thanks for the offer, but I can order it online and it should be here by the weekend, or next week at the latest. Very kind of you!

BTW, you deserve a Coolcoin! @ultimatebob

My GTX 970 just died, have to drive up to Dallas to pickup a much better replacement. I would order from Amazon but I cannot tolerate the delivery sometime in the next 2 months estimates.

Several of my high interest reward checking accounts have their rates lower. From 5.01% to 4.25%, 4.05% to 3.75%, and 3.05% to 2.05%.

<Sad panda>

Two more banks/CUs have their rates lower. Boohooo.

Hey now, it's not Coolcoin worthy unless he writes an entertaining post about his oat delivery adventure with illustrations included. The Coolcoin review committee has standards, ya know!

The collision place just texted to say the new tailgate wouldn't be in until Friday. This was after a Monday text saying everything was on track to finishing the car on Friday and a month after telling us the gate would arrive in mid-March. This is the third time they've reset the completion date.

I imagine supply chain got fucked badly.

That's understood but to keep stating that things are on track when they don't even have the key parts on hand is unprofessional. The tailgate has to be painted so there was no way Monday's text was honest.

this sounds like a normal problem?

have you been without a replacement car for a month?
and leave bad review after u get your car back.

 

[Sgt. York]

A shop shouldn't give you a finish date until they have the parts on hand.

We don't get Easter holiday off 🥺🤬 Even though I don't celebrate it I want it off, lol. Oh well, should be pretty uneventful tomorrow.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Easter is a weird one, it seems some places give Friday off and some places give Monday off, and some places give both. My department gets Friday off, but some get Monday. It makes lot of confusion as to which department is open and which is not.

I remember when I was in college we didn't get Friday off, but even the city buses got it off, and ran on skeleton schedule. That was interesting... teachers wondering why half of us were late to class. I think they only did that one year though, then I think they lined it up with the bus schedule.

 

[Sgt. York]

Gotta keep them short buses running.

My 16 y.o. rat dog woke us up this morning so I could take him out to poop. I rolled over, looked at the clock through bleary eyes...0850? OK, not bad...took him and the other one out to crap, made coffee, a bit later, looked at the clock...0730! Dammit...that means it must have been 0650! I'm fucking retired...I don't have to get up that early! (well...except, in this case I did)

It seems I grabbed an 18 pack of beer instead of a 24 pack last grocery trip.

Cut six beers in half, boom, instant 24 pack.

You should sue for emotional distress...

What kind of shithole carries an 18 pack? And I am not even a drinker.

Probably Canadian beer or something.

Nope, 1, 6, 12, 24

No 18? WTF? Straight to 24? Glad you have free healthcare.

A couple hours ago I was sound asleep when the cat climbed up to sleep next to me, accidentally sinking a claw into my lip. A very rude awakening for me.

Since being attacked by cats sounds like a 3rd world problem with lions or something, I will add that my brand new undershirt is now covered with blood. Also there's a very good chance the beast was just digging around in the liter box moments before, since that would explain why he wasn't already sleeping here with me.

Of course, I wasn't able to go back to sleep after that. He sure did...

Somewhat appropriately, his name is "Rooster" and roosters are known for getting people up before the sun rises.

the more food in the house, the more i eat.
and with this pandemic, i'm buying and more food each week thinking it's good to stockpile.

well, it's not for me. i might buy 20% more food each week but i'm eating 1/2 of that excess in addition to what i normally eat.

i have too much food!
