First world problem: haven't had a problem worthy of bitching about in a thread dedicated to first world problems in a few days. =(

Zaxby's gave me boneless wings with my Wings 'n' Things plate. Ate all the "things" and went back to have the wings swapped out (intended to save for later and breaded boneless "wings" just get soggy). It unexpectedly came with more "Things," so I gave all that to my "hungry" coworker. He ate all the fries, chicken fingers, celery, toast, and still asked for one of my wings. I OK'd it.

At the end of the day I was finally ready to eat my four wings and opened it up only to find his eaten-off-of bone set right in the middle of my uneaten wings. WTF?! I don't even do that when I have no intentions of sharing and the the trash can was right next to him when he ate it! frickin' genius I work with here.

And DAMN did his breath STINK this morning. It's why I also bought him a soda. Not even remotely tempted to eat wings that contacted his leavings.

I was reminded that most of the batteries in my devices (e.g. remotes, flashlights) are over 5 years old and almost all alkaline. Now I have to blow a couple bucks to replace them.

I use rechargeables for remotes. They dont last as long but the constant recharging reminds me to replace them on a routine basis.

Same with my little pocket flashlight.

I can't get out of bed.

Been in bed looking at my smartphone for 2 hours already.

I had to call the airline to get my ticket reissued so I could check in online because when they bumped me to first class it borked my ability to check in.
And I sat on hold for 16 minutes and then it took another 18 to reissue it.

how far you flying?


Emirates wanted 12.5k miles to upgrade to 1st class, but it was only for 3 hours so I didn't bother.

Nothing nearly so luxurious.
ORD-DFW on united. Upside is I would have probably purchased 2 or 3 drinks so that saves me about $18, and I do have a little more hip room.

Wife went to Paris with her college friends for their yearly trip and I have the kids all weekend starting today. To make myself feel better I just bought a car sight unseen.

Now I just need to convince my boss to let me leave a little earlier today so I can do sit in the lounge, have a drink and unwind. Been a hectic week. Need to get the weekend started ASAP.
