This has been quite the fucked up week...ordered a new refrigerator to replace the shitty Samsung that came with the house, (See the thread in H&G) as well as a new stove. Placed the order with Lowes about 10 days ago. Both were in stock in the Portland, OR warehouse...delivery was scheduled for today (Thursday) Got a call from the delivery company yesterday, delivery scheduled for between 1 and 5 pm. At 6 pm, I called their dispatch office...truck was in another town about an hour away...there were 3 other deliveries ahead of me. It's almost 11 pm...still no appliances...I don't think they're gonna make it. :confused:

Ordered a lens filter kit, Amazon's warehouse is about 50km from me, so I figured it should not take too long. They shipped it, but for some reason it went 50km in the opposite direction, spend a day there, then came back to the origin, then another day then to me...

I'm surprised it was in stock. I've been waiting on a washer/dryer from Lowes for almost a month now.

The WuFlu has supply lines fucked up everywhere. Some of the appliances we looked at were listed as "delivery available in November."

Bought a meatball sub at the local deli and it's freaking huge. I want to keep eating, but if I want to get any work done this afternoon I'm going to have to wrap up half of it for tomorrow. It weighed in at 1.7lbs.

My cat puked in my bed AGAIN. I guess I can't let her sleep with me anymore. It's too bad since I kinda like the cuddles but it's only going to cause me anxiety at this point. Worse part is I felt something cold with my feet but I though it's because my foot was hot from being against my cat, then the cat left and I noticed a weirdly cold spot, I looked and sure enough a huge circle of liquid puke. Freaking gross.

I sometimes consider just leaving the door open and let her run away.

months ago I bought a $25 uber giftcard on sale for $20 at bestbuy and loaded it on my acct.
i booked a cruise and planned on ubering to/from port.

well, the cruise got canceled because of Covid-19.
no problem since uber credit doesnt expire.

now i'm getting these annoying notifications on my phone from Uber about 'Try Uber Eats.'

I think the biggest steak I've ever eaten was ~1lb. I have finished a 1.5-2lb. probably more like 2.5-3lb. steak and cheese sub before, though. I used to be a huge eater but I've calmed down a bit.

Dickhead.

:D

That's pretty egregious.

The recycling bins in the back of the apartment I used to live in were dark green and the garbage bins were light blue - the exact opposite of what you'd expect for bin colors. I doubt anything I recycled when I lived there actually made it to the recycling center. Every time I took things down to be recycled the bins were full of non-recyclables.
