My Breath of The Wild shipment says it's on time according to UPS, but their idea of "on time" is the END OF THE FUCKING DAY. Meanwhile other people are playing it already and any screwball off the street could pick it up from a midnight release just an hour from now.
GOD DAMNED UPS MOTHER FUCKER DEPRIVING ME OF A FUCKING SOLID TWELVE HOURS OF ZELDA ON MY FUCKING DAY OFF SON OF A BITCH.

Mine's not expected to be here until Tuesday. Amazon keeps slipping.

Second friday in a row I spray the bowl when in a hurry to take the train. I ain't got time for this shit, literally.

My fault for eating too many vegetables yesterday for dinner. Thursdays are gonna be fiber-free from now on

We're going to a great pizza place tonight for someone's birthday but it's Lent so I can't have meat. :(

Not me but this guy had some first world problems:

Plans an amazing proposal for his fiance, and then promptly starts puking and heaving heavily immediately after. Like literally the second after he proposes. There was no kissing after she accepted. This all happens on a small plane.

My wife broke her brand new Galaxy S7 Edge.
Also, I have to park in the street for the first time in my brand new car later today. :(

If you paid for Galaxy S7 Edge with credit card, some credit cards offer 90-120 days accidental damage replacement coverage. Amex is 90 days. Chase Sapphire Reserve is 120 days.

As for the car, that's the worst thing about new cars. You have to baby it until you get your first scratch. You might as well scratch it yourself right now so you can get over the new car anxiety. :D

I got a new iPhone for work yesterday, it's a 6S. I have to wear it on my belt because I don't have enough pockets and it's uncomfortably large.

I have to deal with several reward checking accounts. Hard to keep up with them sometimes.

Have to use a key to unlock my infrequently used vehicle because it's keyless entry has a broken wire. Also, I have a car that locks properly, oh, and I actually have a car.

Just paid to upgrade my seats on flights to and from Cancun in a few weeks. Free trip from work, but they put my wife and I in different rows in middle seats.
And no first class option on the upgrade. Boo.

Got a lot of quality time with my new keyboard today. That's the problem. I was in the office doing grade sheets all day. Boring work, and it was nice and cool outside today, with occasional flurries. I'd have rather been outside. Oh, and the calculator on my computer gives wrong numbers occasionally. I subtracted two whole numbers, and got a remainder like 15 decimal places over. I'm not calculating planet landings or anything, so it isn't a big deal, but I don't like my computers giving me wrong answers. I'll have to test it when I get some time, and maybe submit a bug report.

Best Buy defiled my Breath of The Wild special edition. :(

EfzhYpb.jpg


I was confident the Wii U standard edition would arrive in the mail undamaged but I knew the special edition that came in a card board box would not be nearly so durable. I opted for in store pickup instead of shipping fearing an ultra cheap mailer bag that would have seen it hopelessly mangled in transit. Alas, other people who went the shipping route claim it got packed in an ever larger outer box with air padding and everything. B and M Best Buy in contrast slapped a giant sticker on the side of the box that peeled the print when removed despite my being extremely gentle with it. ugh. Fucking Best Buy...

I wish I could exchange it but there's no more stock with no more expected so it's refund or deal with it.

Read an excerpt from a book, decided I liked it well enough to purchase it. Now I regret it. Not enjoying the book. I am likely disproportionately feeling this.

*grumble* <---- see? I'm out of control.

There's an air dryer alarm and it's less than an hour before end of my shift. If it does not clear I have to make a ticket, and that particular system is a pain in the ass to make a ticket in.
