Contractors installing fence hit gas main... No kaboom. Lots of blame gaming.

Kids got accepted to a better school. Have to drive six additional blocks EVERY DAY><

I have a friend that has to drive 45 minutes across town to drive his kids to some special school. That's 3 hours of driving a day. Poor guy :(

O_O

that's a pretty big problem.

Ah, but in third-world, it probably would have been worse.

Seriously, they nicked the main, not with their auger, but with a shovel afterwards. Took the gas company like 9 hours to fix it. Contractor "should" be footing the bill, but they were trying to weasel their way out of it. We'll see how it goes.

We closed all the windows, but I hauled ass to be safe.

my neighbors weren't home so I jumped the fence and threw their hose into my back yard and thoroughly watered and power washed the back of my house.

My neck is jacked up and the pain meds I'm taking are going to cause constipation.


Also broke a tooth so I'm getting a crown at 8:30 today. I'm guessing $1200.

I never know what date it is. The minute hand on my watch is covering up the number.

I heard an electronic *BEEP* noise and I had to check my numerous digital devices to see which one it was. Still not sure. ;)

Even with the Nintendo Dolphin patch, I'm still not able to play F Zero GX in glorious 1080p. I'll just have to settle for continuing to play it on my gamecube in regular ol' 480p. :'(

This happens to me every year. I always have more vacation time than I take, and am forced to take days off at the end of the year. I really am going to make it a point to take more planned vacation next year.

i've had that problem as well so i made it a point this year to use them all up. i actually thought i planned it out perfectly with the days that i did have. i knew about the 5 additional days but i thought they kicked in next year, but lo-and-behold, i have them now. i tell you, it's hard living first world sometimes
