Someone is suppose to come to my house and pickup something but I don't know when they'll come so I'm stuck waiting. I'm tired and I just want to go to bed. At least I'm off tomorrow so I get to sleep in.
 
My asshole neighbor's house was scheduled for a foreclosure auction later this month. The bastard found some money and isn't leaving. 🙁
 
Richmond Hill is next to Markham and both are north of Toronto. Ordered a ssd from newegg, shipped from Richmond Hill. Instead of coming to Markham, it goes south to Toronto... I am like 20 min from Richmond Hill...


Edit looked up the origin addr... It's 11km from my house...fuckers are now projecting Nov 15 even though it it out on delivery....

Smashed my thumb yesterday, and I have the delightful combination of not being able to feel it, and it hurting like a motherfucker at the same time. I have pretty much zero use of it, and no tactile sensation, but it throbs, and even a light bump causes extreme pain. It's gonna take awhile before it's better :^(

my thumb...

I'm NOT a morning person. So this person I don't know said good morning to me at work and I was like, ya .... no expression on my face head down staring at the floor. Thanks for chatting me up. What's wrong with people?

Now if it were a hot woman, I might perk my head up, a tiny bit.

As a non-morning person I hate morning people. When I'm half-awake, waiting in the break room for the coffee to finish being made at 7:15 in the morning (when most people aren't even here yet), and someone comes in all happy and full of energy, "HEY GOOD MORNING! HOW'S IT GOING? HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND? DID YOU FINISH THAT WORK THING YET? WHAT'S YOUR STATUS ON IT? WELL, HA HA HA I'LL SEE YOU LATER!" I'm just a seething ball of rage.

You're confused. Morning's the best time of day. It's cool, quiet, and humans haven't stunk things up too badly yet. What you really hate is chatty people who spew pointless nonsense, and ruin your quiet time. Avoid them at all costs. Make your coffee at home, and bring it in a thermos. Helps avoid inadvertent interactions.

That nail will fall off and new one grows in its place.


Done that a few times.
 
Owe that looks like it hurt. 😱

I'm surprised I never banned my thumb too badly doing my whole basement. I was crazy and did the whole thing with hammer and nails. 3ish inch galvanized spiral framing nails too, not the little ones that call themselves framing nails but would hardly hold a picture on a wall. 3 toe nails per stud end. I didn't have that kind of patience when I did the shed so just used screws without predrilling. 😛

Yous guys...really?
 
I ordered a two camera sling for about $20 from amazon and the package (one of those plastic bag thingeys) had a large tear so it 'fell out' along the way and the amazon guy just dropped off an empty package at my door. My ring foootage even shows him trying to lean it up against the wall and the wind blew it down...

I chatted with customer service and they are shipping out a new one which should be here tomorrow....

Twice closing the car door on my hand while holding the door frame...

I did that last week :rollseyes: I don't even know how the hell I managed that. Early onset senility I guess. The dark part at the bottom of my nail was from that. The one from Saturday was an 8# maul handle(I think). Not sure what happened there either. I think maul slipped off the top of a plastic wedge, and kept on going, and my thumb was between the handle and a knot in the tree. All I know is I swung, then O.O Glad I had at least a thin glove on, but I wish I was wearing my heavy gauntlet gloves.

Way back when my kid was a baby, the wife was in the back seat with him and trying to close the window on a towel to block the sun. She tells me to roll up the window...the she says, "Open it, fucking open it..." For someone that doesn't curse, having your finger closed in the window will change that in a hurry.😀

Actually I remembered incorrectly. I pulled the door close from the window frame (window rolled down). With the thumb acting as a jam...
 
Unless you geniuses have a solution, I'm going to have to get a smart phone. Mom, 78, let strangers in her house yesterday. She finally realized they were casing the place and "shooed" them out. So we're going to add motion detection cameras to her alarm so that we can see what's going on in real time, similar to ring. That requires a smart phone and someone with the spare time to check it when a notification comes in....yours truly. And it will let us turn her alarm on at night when she forgets.

Hope she appreciates me giving up my Luddite membership.
 
It's kind of nice having a computer in your pocket. You don't have to be a dumbass with it. Having a camera, maps, and a web browser on demand is pretty useful.

I don't disagree but 10+ hrs/day, I'm sitting in front of this monitor and I'm already paying for data for 2 iphones.

Whatever, gotta see about the old people.
