Piece of shit yellow-green sponge decided to leave a bunch of green lint/fuzz on a cast iron pan. Didn't find out until I started finding the shit in my food. Wonder how much I ate unknowingly... and what probably melted /cooked in the pan.

I didn't wash the pan. I almost never use the green side and use my hand to rub while rinsing stuff off. My hand has no skin left on it...

Expecting a job interview at the local school district soon but the secretary could give me no time table on when it could happen other than "soon". Could be a day or a month for all I know and I'm carrying a degree of anxiety until it's over with. :(

I hate that shit. I had the same thing happen to me when I was in school and applied for a summer job. I had to sit at home for a month instead of being able to go outside, camping, etc. I imagine it's even worse when it's for a real job.

I fucked up my corn bread... Made it twice as deep in the pan but didn't cook it any longer so the core was a bit undercooked. I'll have to microwave each slice for about 60 seconds now:(.

Had to go to work today. Went to Dunkin Donuts on the way in. Got a coffee and the damned cup kept leaking a little bit each time I drank out of it. Turns out that the Styrofoam coffee mug had a gash at the top of it. Just a tiny little dent really. Then the plastic top went on top like normal but the mouth opening lined up perfectly with the dent. This was how it was handed to me. Of all the things, if it were just 10 degrees twisted to one side or the other I would not have had to put up with such hell.

I had to take the lid off, reorient it and reinstall it. I paid for a full service coffee and this is what I get? I have to put my own lid on! So angry.

PS: And some of the coffee leaked while in my cup holder in my car so now I have a sticky bottom for a cup holder along with sticky coins.

Classical radio station is playing opera. I'm really not a fan, and hope they quit it soon.

Couldn't keep playing as the overpowered A-wing in Battlefront. Had to play a lousy tie fighter in the next match when teams apparently switch factions. Those things are like cannon fodder. :(

This is unpossible!

They wanted $5 for the same pack of sponges that Walmart carried for $2!

New problems: I got a paper cut just now trying to scoop a bit of flour out of the effing bag -- just needed a teaspoon to sprinkle. Hope I don't have this problem with the bigger bags that I'll probably get from now on.

Also, I went to my dealer for five kilos of white stuff. There was white stuff all over the packages and I got some on my clothes. I wanted 5 kilos but decided against it after seeing how big the package was. Only ended up with 2.5 kilos.***

***White stuff was flour and dealer was Walmart. Prove me wrong! Going to Amazon the 5 kilo bag once I'm done with this bag.

There's two great matches happening at the Aussie Open in a few mins, but I can only watch one at a time on my TV. Laptop is too small for streaming. Guess I'll have to keep switching back and forth.

After listening to the remodeling downstairs for two months my new neighbor has moved in. It really sucks having to put up with smelling the pipe he smokes. It has even given me a sore throat today :(. Insulation in the joists and drop ceilings do nothing to prevent sounds or odors.

I worked at some shit hole company that was in an old warehouse. Wood floors, every smell came through during a renovation. Workers smoked 24/7 and paint or floor wax/varnish nuked my area. Bitching did nothing, not even with the floor's "health and safety" person just a bit away from my desk.

"Brought to you by Carl's Jr." Good one Sonikku. :D LOL!

My first world problem would have to be over stuffing my self with fish tacos and Jack & Coke.

I was testing a new dish washing brush on the palm of my hand... My hand burns.

Shite. Tried to cancel another Amazon order -- this was the other part of the same order I cancelled days ago that I wanted -- but got denied. I can return it but I don't not want it enough. I'll keep it if it gets here. Bastards knew that...

I'm in Germany for work. Got a nice Mercedes rental car but the navigation has no English option. I know enough to muddle through it, but that's about it.
