It is the Apocalypse!
I predict that:
You will meet a Waitress who will say Welcome but she won't mean it.
You will see three TV reports on different networks all reading an Internet report.
And finally the third seal: Those dang kids on the lawn!

My God! It only looks like it will get worse!

My ingrown toe nail might be getting worse -- years of wearing shoes too small, I'm a fucking idiot -- and I might have to go find a doctor so they can refer me to a foot doctor:(.

Find one with a foot fetish. They're far more detail oriented.

I used to get ingrown toenails a lot as a youth... ended up having part of my nail permanently removed.

wasn't too bad tbh, and is definitely better than getting an ingrown toenail once a year.

i had an IT planning meeting with my boss and one of our vendors today.
my boss [the technical services manager] is only about 70% as competent as she needs to be to understand everything, so i had to stop and explain things for her repeatedly.

The restaurants I wanted to book in SF were all full so I had to settle for a Michelin starred restaurant in Oakland. :\

Went to get coffee filters 5min after store opening time. They weren't open. I'll have to use a paper towel again.

Wife always wakes me for work because I sleep very soundly (and am not coherent when I get up). Got up today, made coffee, took shower, got dressed, noticed wife not in bed. Where did she go? Check phone for text, she is with her friend, the friend is keeping a vigil at her dying mother's bedside. Text sent after I went to bed, she stayed there all night. Then why did I get up? Oh, must have needed to whiz.

Grab coffee, flip on TV for morning news. Informercial instead of news? Check clock... 4:10 AM. Ah crap, up two hours too early for no good reason.
