What first world problem did you have today?

[HN]

Have a package that has an estimated delivery date of tuesday 2/10.
the package itself has been in my area since saturday.

but because it's not estimated to be delivered until tomorrow...it's just gonna sit in the fedex facility with status "Package not due for delivery" :|

^1 shipping method for everything; charge based on when it gets released to you... all they have to do now is lie to you about where the package is.. like delay it "in transit" until it goes out for delivery.

In the multi-state regional trivia tournament we won (12-0) we were once down at the half because we only got 1/2 an hour for lunch and were eating sandwiches.

Just take one of the wet ones and bend it straight.

I left my phone at home today, how I have to listen to other people at work

I bought a sandwich for lunch, and I really want soup to go with it but it's soooo fucking cold outside I'm not sure I can stomach the 2-block walk to the soup truck :\

omg, I'd go postal.

I really think that was a result of me having a leftover sandwich in the fridge on free sandwich day, though... that shouldn't occur for another few weeks (they cycle where we order from on free lunch day... this week is probably Chinese)

Freelancing from home and two of the munchkins are home with fevers and ear aches and I have a deadline looming.


Good times

Doing taxes = worst first world problem.

 

[nageov3t]

confirmed: my sandwich is safe and in my belly... thin-sliced rib eye steak with caramelized onions and a slice of cheddar cheese on a croissant.

kinda wish I had something sweet to eat now, though.

Hawaiian kettle chips are part of the new batch of snacks at work. having trouble deciding if i want the regular or sweet maui onion.

related: if you were working and heard someone munching away at some really crunchy chips, like say, hawaiian kettle chips, would you qualify it as an #fwp and post about it here?

I ventured into P&N and read some of the 2014 gas thread. Now I have a headache.
Was damn funny though.

the more it pisses you off the more thankful you should be since its a problem. its like my wifes Jewelry problem. She had to stop buying it temporarily since she ran out of space and the insurance started getting out of hand.

the zip lock seal on my soft tortillas was too tight such that when attempting to spread it, it tore the outer wrapping.

Be warned: Painful to see how bullheaded and oblivious to reality a person can be.

I am NOT thankful that I get stuck with the alternative minimum tax because I earn well but am not RICH and some rich ass hat like Romney gets to pay 14.5%. Total crap. Look at this shit:

Figure 2: Taxpayers with AMT liability, by adjusted gross income in 2005 dollars, calendar years 2001 to 2014 (percentage)

100 to 200k gets NAILED while
1million + rarely ever sees it.

Total. Bullshit.
