Just got December 26th off as a freebie. Now I have to reschedule the vacation time I had planned to take that day to a different day.

It was cloudy all day and the street lights didn't even turn off it was so dark.

they put automatic paper towel dispensers in the office restrooms that seem to only come alive if you do a haka dance and offer a blood tribute at its feet. because simply waving your hands in front, under, or around it won't get you a damn thing except maybe air dried hands :|

When I ordered a caramel brulee latte @ Starbucks I found out they still don't offer almond milk as an alternative and I had to go with non-fat milk instead.

Can't decide if I should buy an extra set of filters for my Dyson upright or just wash my existing set, let them dry, and reinsert. I've had it over a year now and I think it's time to wash the filters -- suggested time is every 3 months, but I go a month or two without using it sometimes, and it's usually for a single room.

The ice machine at work broke. The dispenser/nozzle is moldy and hasn't been cleaned since they installed it early this year. Hopefully they clean the damn thing while fixing it.

I cut off a student in the middle of a presentation and he threatened to 'take care of me' FUN!

I thought I figured out how to use manual and a histogram with my first DSLR (mirrorless...), but I'm concerned that everything might be overexposed because my effing monitor has a black-crush problem (i.e. too bright so I turned brightness down).

I really thought you meant a dispenser for toilet paper. I was sitting here thinking about how the cleaning staff must feel upon seeing the toilet at the end of the day from a bunch of shit-drenched Haka enthusiasts just trying to clean themselves. Honestly, I like my interpretation better.

Haven't punched one co-worker straight in the face yet, when I would almost be justified knocking his butt out.

"Lets go outside", I laughed a lot in his face and walked off, I could hit him in the face once and floored him.

Management needs to handle this guy, he's an idiot and I'm doing most of their Mastercam programming at the moment, he didn't say a word all day and when I went to lock up my toolbox he started just spouting off idiotic things for no reason.

That and he's a short dude that is fat as hell and 15 years older, another toolmaker that would have never been hired in other places I have worked, and seems to have a chip on his shoulder.

He obviously has something going on internally with the company, anyone else would have fired this guy a long time ago any other places I've worked the last 30 years, the guy is just a dick.

Woo Saaaaaaaa :p
