Went to Dunkin Donuts for an ice-coffee, they were out of jelly donuts so I had to have toasted coconut instead!

I finally got my second investment account opened -- wanted to try a different service that's supposedly better -- and first time logging in, I was so effing overwhelmed by the new interface that I closed everything and walked away. Newer one uses a more modern interface with flash, old one is ancient, looks like ass but is so simple.

Went into the bathroom, thought I was alone... I wasn't. Think I talked to myself out loud and flicked some water onto the guy in the stall next to me before realizing. Now I feel bad.

Spilled coffee on my 10 key. Pretty sure it's a bad thing when the paper tape is advancing and it's switched off. Now I'm without coffee and I'll have to use the windows calculator.

Yikes, flash? I would close that account in a flash. :biggrin:

Wanted an iWatch for use at the gym. iWatch has zero use in practical gym application. At least, without any real app support (which doesn't exist, to my knowledge). =(

Also, I hate the fitness band market that caters to the Planet Fitness "I wanna spend money and feel good about myself, but not actually work out" market. Can't blame them though, it is large.

Parked my new car far out in the parking lot as to avoid door dings. Some jerk parked right next to me ... on my side of the line. There were open spaces everywhere. Have not left work yet to see if damage has been done.

Also, want to buy a new guitar to mess around with. Can't decide if I want the "good enough" model or the "upgrades that would be nice" model. Haven't placed an order because I don't know.

Saw some guy parked way out in the parking lot with his new car. Parked super close to him just to piss him off. Now, I have to walk way out in the parking lot to get to car. =(

Saw the same thing and parked next to him so I could align myself with something I can see (can't see the lines after I pull in). Still failed to align myself properly.

I had to go grocery shopping. Again.

Because we still don't have the ability to absorb energy from sunlight, or take it in from an electrical outlet, or internalize and incorporate some manner of micro-fusion reactor.


And I'd love to know why this stuff has such an insane lead time.
Edit: Looks like they're still working to fill the insane backlog that resulted from their Kickstarter.

Found a big bloody booger on a large piece of paper my manager gave me. He's been coughing all week. FML.

Soylent seems interesting, but it's expensive ($4 a meal) for something that probably doesn't taste great.

The router I took into work blew up, and my boss bought a new Linksys router to replace it. He had it plugged in, but it wasn't working, so I was to set it up in the morning. I got in, logged into the router, and got a page that said it wasn't setup, and the button to do something(forgot what it said) was greyed out(WTF?!). I then ask him for an owners manual which doesn't exist. There's only a setup cd. Sigh... I know this is gonna work awesomely on my Xubuntu desktop. I reboot into XP, put in the cd, and it does something; who the fuck knows what. I can then get to the settings, but it looks like it's pulling in content from external sources WTF?!!!!! again.

I was in a hurry, so I couldn't analyze everything, but I don't like anything about that router. It's bullshit from the very start. I don't want my hardware setup by magic, and I sure as hell don't want to use Windows for anything. Whoever thought that was a good idea should be kicked in the balls... over and over until they fall off :^S
