I also have to read a story about how my friend proposed, causing his GF to burst into tears on how he would play such a cruel joke on her and then proceed to explain that the joke was that it wasn't a joke and it is real... Yuck!

That's a really dumb idea

Nothing like starting a marriage with a foundation of lies and mistrust

I had no sour cream for my potato. In my defense, I jumped on my bike and road an entire 1/4 mile to the grocery store and bought some.

I'm pretty sure a call to human resources about a hostile work environment is warranted. They have the nerve to call Coors Light beer? And in Canada, no less. For shame.

coors is a canadian company

Work.

Sometimes I daydream of a life of sitting in the dirt surrounded by flies wondering where my next meal will come from thinking of how nice the lack of responsibility and cleanliness might be...

Got stuck at waiting for a train. It was a freight train so I had to sit still in my heated car listening to music for 5 minutes as the miles long behemoth slowly lumbered across the road.

The only showing for Sabotage last night was at 9:50, so I had to be out later than usual in order to get a half priced movie. And, we didn't win any free popcorn or drink, so I had to pay a whole $6 for a soda.

I took my company flip phone phone to the Sprint store today to see about setting it up for tethering. The guy there tells me it can't do that. I assure him it can, and he says they can't offer a plan for this phone :^S

I fuckin' hate non-technical reasons for things not working. I can hook the phone up, and have it taunt me with an account/password challenge, and there's nothing to give it cause Sprint eats shit. I wanted to keep this phone cause the battery lasts forever, and it's extremely rugged, but I guess I'll have to get an Android when it's due for upgrade :^/

Inner Ear Infection. Is that a first world problem? It's painful and I can't hear as well out of my left ear.

Also I just got the Astro A40 headset but forgot to get a USB A/C plug adapter to power the amp as it won't reach my PS4.

Oh and both lights in my coin insert slots on my Arcade cabinet went out.

National channel that bought Suburgatory suddenly stopped showing it and I missed the damn broadcast on ABC by forgetting to DVR it.

Because that channel has the rights to the show in this country and just shelved it, I can't watch it on demand locally, and I can't watch it on American sites -- no VPN or whatever. And for some reason, my cable co made the time-shift ABC channels a premium package. F**k.

I can't decide if ziplining in St Kitts or St Lucia would work out better :\

An infection is a worldwide problem. The first world problem is the antibiotics you're taking to get rid of it make your food taste funny (or whatever; you get life-saving medicine but you have a minor reaction to it).

My wife took the jar of peanut butter with her on her trip so I could not make my normal PB&J for lunch. Now I have to go to Carl's Jr. for lunch.
