Went out to dinner tonight. Since it's Saturday, I figured places would be crowded so I went early (around 5 PM). Still had to wait almost an hour for a table.

Jesus fucking christ.

Its warm outside so bought a iced venti white mocha from starbucks.

Forgot how bad whip cream and ice is.
Should have asked for no ice.

Had another snow storm the other day, had to get out of the house to go shovel the driveway, so I can get to the garbage bins and bring them back in the garage.

Went to McDog's for my weekly greasy breakfast fix only to find the 2 for $3 Sausage biscuit with egg special had been discontinued!

Had to eat Egg-McMuffins instead.

Cat wants to stick his face in my face to get me out of bed, so I roll over to one side and don't give him any room there. So the cat jumps on the small table beside my bed (onto on my iPad mini retina + LTE 32GB, iPhone 5s 64GB, and iPod touch 5th gen 64GB) to get to my face.

How's that for a first world problem?

I was steaming NPR on my computer with hundreds of millions of solid-state transistors through my home wifi and Car Talk just cut out for no reason. I had to refresh the browser page. Yeesh. I'm taking a prozac and calling my therapists after hours line. (-:

I found $200 bucks in a drawer that I didn't know I had... I guess that's not really a problem.

Couldn't afford the extra 75 cents ?

Despite having over a hundred channels, I couldn't find anything to watch on tv while I ate breakfast.

Its hard to jerk off to porn on the tablet because the hand holding the tablet is shaking the screen too much.

Had to fart but coworkers were with me in my office.
Experienced discomfort while waiting until all alone.
Experienced relief when I was finally alone (farted).
Last person to leave suddenly came back in my office.

I don't embrace excuses. I embrace solutions!

Put the tablet on a stand. Solution solved!

Happy wanking! :awe:

How's that for a first world problem?

so the cat scratched the screens on all of them?
cheaper to get rid of the cat.

so your firstworldproblem is that u have so much resources that u can give away a cat instead of eating it when it's no longer useful

Got our netflix DVD (Royal Pains) only to find netflix just made it available for streaming. Gah, waste of a mailed DVD.
