Running backup jobs and all my backup drives keep getting full because I have too much data. I need bigger backup drives so I don't have to split the jobs up so much. Well I did buy some, but I'm hoping to continue using the other ones too. Maybe I need to just retire those.
 
Just saw Hangover 3 on TV, released 2013. Where the hell is Silver Linings Playbook? I've seen it but seeing it on TV is different.
 
yesterday, I had to socialize at someone's house where they fed me sirloin steak, brats and salmon while making me drink mixed drinks. It was a rough seven hours but I got through it.
 
Went to BestBuy to get a mem card for my phone thinking they'll surely be open by 10 for Xmas shopping. Nope. They don't open til 11. I'm sitting in the parking lot dicking with my phone. I'm only 10 minutes away, but don't want to waste the time and gas to come back.
 
Building an arcade cabinet and now I can't find my arcade joystick. It's nowhere where it should be or where I would have normally put it. Driving me insane, I even looked in areas where it might have fell...it's just gone. If I can't find it again today, I'm going to have to order a new one which sucks.......I'm glad people in Rwanda don't have to worry about this stuff like I do.

Japanese or Happ controls?

I think I may be in the minority because I like the slender tapered bats when I play fighting games. Ball tops are a vestigial hold-over from when they were made to be palmed like Pac-Man. The bat-style tops for Japanese sticks like are always every bit as large as a ball and have flat bottoms before they taper far enough to fit between your fingers. Totally defeats the purpose for me.
 
Some genius decided to daisy chain two extension cords. The longer one was a piece of shit, 2-prong white cord meant for fans or lamps, and he used his power drill on it. I told him it was dangerous, he ignored me and turned the drill on to show me it works. No, you intellectually disabled shit, the longer you use it, the more heat you generate. And there's a fridge and toaster oven plugged into the same outlet.
 
I guess 0.000000021% of the population shops online late at night due to working something other than 1st shift.
Third time, shame on me I guess.
CapitalOne has declined a transaction and has also locked out my account because I tried to buy some FPV goggles for a new quadcopter. (Aww yisss.) Dandy. Thanks again, CapitalOne.

In other news, Draconian measures may be justified against people who commit credit card fraud.

My Amazon package was scheduled to be delivered today... it just shipped this morning. FML, been waiting on this thing for a week.

And I don't think I can sell my 7 year old printer for less than a buck. It makes no sense to buy it since it's out of ink and replacing the cartridges would get you a brand new printer with starter ink but still -- a brand new MFD, actually. Now I have to figure out how to dump it.
 
People keep bringing treats and snacks into the office. I'm trying to maintain around 180-190 lbs and weighed myself and I'm at 191. Damnit, how am I supposed to stay fit with all this free food lying around.

Car expenses totalled 1200 bucks so I wont be getting anything for Christmas this year.

My Secret Elf is lucky. I bought his present before my car needed fixing.
 
My box of 48 commercial toilet paper rolls has arrived... Now I have nowhere to put them. Price was like a quarter of what we usually got, and I loved the stuff I had at my last office's shitters.
 
I never understood laplace/z/fourier transforms through school. They made NO sense to me. 5 years later studying for the PE, I still don't get it. -_________________-
 
Sharting is also a 3rd world problem as well. It's one thing to soil your Levi's but another to soil your linens

Ah yes, LaPlace Transform.
Turn calc into algebra, then back again.

Yo dawg, I heard you like math, so we put some math in your math so you can lose your goddamn mind while you integrate more goddamn variables.




(It is some nifty stuff though. Still, differential equations was a rough class for me.)
