Sorry to hear that, Masterbas. Hopefully this wave of death passes soon. I've got a lot of family members who are checking out soon too. Money is running out. I'm starting to really dislike my job. School is becoming a burden on daily life. Panic attacks are frequent and imminent. Tried to quit smoking and that didn't pan out, as usual. Had to pay annual property taxes yesterday. Politics is a joke. And I stubbed my fucking toe 3 days ago and it still hurts.
On the other hand, the kids are good and today is my 3rd wedding anniversary. But since this is the bitching thread, there is no room for rejoicing. Fuck everything.

Happy 3rd anniversary at least. My wife and I are celebrating our 15th on the cruise :).

But yeah fuck everything.

That was 3 years ago?

[Malaka]

Seems like a fucking eternity!

[captaingabbeh]

Well, I was going to be into work early today, buuut an 18-minute transit delay sure took care of that in a hurry

[TPH]

Dear asshole that asked me to have a call extra early today, but then didn't show up and gave me some random bullshit excuse just now: I hope you get repeatedly fist-fucked by a complete NFL team - medical staff and bus driver included.

With love,

Lady didn't answer the time she told me to call for a scheduled phone interview (after playing phone tag for a week), then because I pulled over to make the call I was late to get my fingerprints taken for my gaming license and the place closed so I had to drive across town to get them done somewhere else (missed the first place by five minutes). After I got them done I had a voicemail from someone at the same company calling me for the same job. The jobs shift ends right when the shift for my current one starts so it would be impossible to do both. Wicked bummer.

Luckily he said to watch for another position that would fit with my schedule, apply and give him a call right after I apply. Apparently I am super qualified for the position (customer service for a gaming company) that I'm pretty much a shoe in once I have the time.

Then I lost $50 gambling (nickel keno is at $12k)

At least work didn't suck, I have beer and I don't have to do anything out of the ordinary for the next two weeks.

Mainly, wtf to scheduling a phone interview and the human resources person not showing up.

I voted...I feel like I need to take a shower. No matter who wins we all are going to lose!

[TPH]

I live in Ireland, I took a look at the first US elections results around 2am my time (that's 9 or 10pm Eastern time I think). Saw that things were sloooowly beginning to drift away from what was expected.
Managed to finally go to sleep at 7am, at 9am my clock rang. Still at work, I need to fucking sleep. And still can't really believe the outcome.

[deathmetalpat]

I decided that I am becoming a bit of a fat ass again and want to lose some weight.Of course United States Thanksgiving and the eating season is almost upon us.

Seriously check this out http://www.idealprotein.com/. I just lost 46 lbs from august to today. No bullshit.

I GOT STOOD UP ON MY BIRTHDAY.

I mean everything else was great. But WTF.

[PacNW]

I GOT STOOD UP ON MY BIRTHDAY.

I mean everything else was great. But WTF.

One of the best dates I ever had was one where I was stood up. The lady totally forgot she had scheduled with me. I went out that day with the mindset that I was going to enjoy myself no matter what the universe had in mind, and it worked. Around 5 minutes late I decided to strike up a conversation with the guy sitting next to me, who turned out to be a really interesting kind gay guy from some small Tennessee town visiting Portland. I had a great talk with him for like an hour and headed home feeling fantastic.

Not a bad way to roll :). I had a nice dinner, but unfortunately the bar we had agreed to meet at was pretty dead. Honestly I'm not sure why I bothered to even try to set up a date with this dude, even before this he was pretty flaky.

On the other hand, Epica rolled through town the night before this, and I had such an excellent time that I was out until almost 5 AM. So the rest of the weekend really was awesome.

[Tuup]

My second son is on his way!
I won two tickets + flights for the cruise!!! Woooohoooo!!!!

Why not in the rejoicing thread? Because both are in February Can't go this time, so EMP is going to pick another winner

[Memnoch]

Aah, that sucks, but at least you have something positive to look forward to. I suppose congrats are in order!

Thanks Ville
Still troubled about this situation though, still in doubt whether I should just go anyhow.

they can pick my girlfriend, she's never been... and I suppose I could join her

[WallieWallie]

Omg, this thread is still up after all those years?

Just came in here to check what is going on as I'm staring at my ceiling for about 2 hours now.

[Kingslayer]

I opened a bottle of tripel improperly, and lost about two thirds of the beer

[TPH]

The fire alarm woke me up at 5.57am (went to sleep at 2am). This shit used to trigger for no fucking reason, except that last month there was a real fucking fire in my building...got out of my bed to check if anyone went outside, there was no one, the alarm stopped after two minutes.
This is going to be a looooong day.

[Phoenix]

Looks like I'm going solo on the boat now.

When your printer stops printing black, then after all tests and cleaning realize that this series from HP have a hardware issue, that can not be resolved, and the help you get from support is that they can send a coupon for your purchase of your next HP printer... Not really feeling like the next one will be another HP...

[captaingabbeh]

My team at work took our first crack at implementing a "very simple" (read: helplessly unclear and convoluted) installation procedure today, only to have it break in at least three different ways. Now I have to spend my day chasing someone to run a couple "change file owner" commands on a server because they didn't do it right the first time, and the normal server admins are saying they didn't do the work, and therefore they can't fix it..."

FLAAAAAAAAMES. ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE.

Edited to add: Aaaaaand I just got added to an email chain. They broke another team's deployment as well. Cowboy71's line about people who couldn't organize a root in a brothel comes to mind.

My work computer has been shit since the Windows 10 update and took five tries to even let me log in this morning - we'll see if it even runs once it's finally done waking up (I have a lot of shit to do before I leave).

I also just found out that I have some sort of gluten intolerance - which means I can't drink beer

They probably have some kind of gluten free beer somewhere, they have anything gluten free nowadays.

There's definitely gluten free beer, Untappd has a badge for it. I've heard some of it is actually pretty solid.

Yeah, and Corona has a very small amount, which means I can probably drink it. It's not like I have celiac, I can still eat certain low gluten breads and things without too much trouble, but beer, and PASTA, losing those hurts a bit.

I have a gluten intolerance too. I stick with Corona mainly and am fine. Most gluten free beers are gross. I have heard of a gluten free beer out of NY (Steadfast Oatmeal Cream Stout) that's awesome but I will probably never get to try it.

They have this onbroad at the pub:

(also gross though )

Of course it's gross. Well at least there's Corona. And long island iced teas.

For the pasta thing, you might wanna check out Coop if you haven't already. Last time I was there they had an army of "healthy"/alternative style pastas, and you might find something that works for you there. Just avoid the low-carb pasta thingy they keep in the freezer, I tried it and it was not terrible fresh, but the leftovers were gross.

Cheers - I'll have to take a look. Whee, diet changes!

I'm not 100% if it's gluten free, but I know for low carb I use black bean pasta. It's low in carbs, delicious and it's black pasta, so it looks awesome lol.

I had to scrape my car this morning. Not a big thing in the grand scheme of things. But still. Can I be in Florida already?

I am super happy that I have no idea what that's like

But my bitch is that my washer broke yesterday. Because you know, buying a new washer and dryer is exactly what I wanted to do before the cruise

But you can buy a new one with built in mp3 player and voice commands and drink dispenser...

I want to figure out how to control it with my phone so I can screw with the settings while she's in front of it

It sings when its done so I want to randomly start playing it

No kidding I've had to do that twice this week. And I live in a desert. Annoying
