What first world problem did you have today?

[Fulle]

When I went into the break room this morning, we were already out of coffee, so I had to make some more and wait for it to brew... which left me wide open for boring coworkers to approach me and start talking to me about their families and stuff.

"Little Suzie is taking swimming lessons!"
"That's nice, Bob." *in my head* "God dammit coffee! BREW FASTER!"

Tapatalk now refreshes my participated threads list every time I back out of one so I can't systematically go down the list when they are active (they keep reordering).

There wasn't any coffee made in our break room as well. Had to go down to the first floor and make myself a triple shot with the LavAzza espresso machine. Luckily no one to talk to.

Had a virus detection so I installed a third anti-virus... I couldn't keep it and deleted it, but because I messed with its services and startup, it didn't uninstall registry items cleanly. So I had to reinstall the thing and uninstall it again. I could have gone into regedit, but ya know.

I think a program like CCleaner would do the trick too.

I got new monitors at work, but apparently they were designed by a blind person who was so mad at sighted people he hatched a plan to build a monitor so blindingly white that it would fry the retinas of anyone who dared gaze upon it so they can join him in his misery. I don't have the proper equipment to do a full calibration, so even after dialing back the brightness to less literally physically painful levels, I'm stuck with shitty contrast ratios and poor color accuracy.

Sounds like the IPS monitor I have on this machine. I had to turn the brightness down to like 60% so I wasn't looking at "floaters" from my vitreous humour. It was like staring at the sun.

Espresso machine at work? You bastard.

Going to PT for the knee and I think one of the exercises is messing with the back. The wife/kid are of town. I might starve to death by the AM.

Well, there is that.

Wonder if I have a suit. :hmm: Lawsuit, that is.



Aside. For the last 19 years, when the wife goes off, she calls and asks what I'm doing. Every single time I say, "I'm sitting on the furniture...nekked. All of the furniture.":biggrin:

She still asks. This woman, that is unequally yoked by my dumb ass, has a masters degree, and has been counseling people since 1999.

LOL!

It's my big Johnson that seals the deal.

My friend starts every call with "What's up?" Someone else we know always responds with "My erect penis." It sets him off on a rant every time but he still hasn't learned to stop saying that.

"Someone we know" = me.

Isn't that supposed to break the seal? D:

Some years back, a friend of mine's family thought it was cute for their little kid to ask "How's it hanging." Got pissed at me for saying, "Straight up," which he copied.

"Someone we know" = me.

There's a seal?:hmm:

Stuck at the car dealership, getting my lubes changed. Forced to use their free hotspot wireless service to access Anandtech.

I needed to download PDFs but instead of a nice plain html page it was sort of web2.0, so I had to look at a list of links in downthemall to find the right ones and download those, instead of just clicking on dtaoneclick and see them all downloading instantly.

Went to the watch repair shop and dropped of TWO watches to get new batteries. I came back and paid for them and apparently they give you a 50% off a new battery coupon on your next visit. I should have only dropped one watch off and waited for the coupon, but I didn't know the coupon existed. Could have saved $8.

A co-worker brought his daughter into work, so I had to close my office door for like two whole hours.

A fun thing to do when a co-worker brings a child to work is say "legally, I'm not supposed to be within... you know what, never mind."

You could have just zipped up and "refrained" for 120 consecutive minutes, you know.

I don't care what noted medical expert, aging TV ingenue, and stupor model Jenny McCarthy says, self-stimulation is not the productivity enhancement she claims it is.

I'm assuming she was inside your office with you?
