What first world problem did you have today?

[Carson Dyle]

It was 15 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit) last night here in the Colorado front range (not even in the mountains). I slept nekkid and didn't notice until I got up, where I froze my nads walking 20 feet to a hot shower.

FUCKING AUTO CORRECT!!


Wifi At Tim Hortons. Not the Wife at Tim Hortons.

RIP proofreading. :'(

 

[highland145]

Same. I felt kind bad about it but after talking with some coworkers today no one seems to have any plans. So I feel better.

You could hang with your Dad and root for GT.

You're not Canadian, you should be at a Starbucks or Country Style.

Wanted to take my wife out to dinner for New Year's Eve. Like 7 places we went to were closed for the day. Ended up with take-out Chinese, along with 30 other husbands all awkwardly staring at our smartphones while we waited for our food :awe:

Missed out on a shag party, eh?

But I didn't see the other wives....

First world problems: bought 3 bottles of Ace of Spades and only a couple people here even drink champagne. Must drink it all now myself. =(

 

[MongGrel]

USPS, you have failed me arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg.

Oh well, first time I've never had em deliver on time.

Just found out my Windows clock is 11 seconds slower than whatever the hell they're using in New York + the broadcasting delay.

The Freeman's Mind series has reached its conclusion. :\

Just found out my Windows clock is 11 seconds slower than whatever the hell they're using in New York + the broadcasting delay.

Local TV station had a countdown clock displayed that was 7 seconds slower than the clock used at the live event being broadcast.

I just said "happy new year" twice

 

[Svnla]

It is steady raining (not heavy) all day today. Wet and cold for the first day of the new year. At least it is good for the farmers and restock the water aquifers/rivers/streams.

 

[Kaido]

It's 2015 and I keep writing 2014 on anything that needs a date

 

[smackababy]

Still hung over from NYE and at work. =( It was probably a bad idea to consume 3 bottles of champagne between 3 people and then have beers.

 

[Sonikku]

Vacations over and now I have to start work stuff again.

The saga continues...

Called T-Mobile to activate the sim card in my new tablet.
Them: I need the IMEI number for your device.
Me: What?
Them: IMEI number, it should be on the Settings screen.
Me: Nope, there's a Win 8 reg code but no IMEI number.
Them: Do you have the box?
Me: Nope.
Them: I need the IMEI number, the serial number, under Settings.
Me: Ain't one there. Where else can I look?
<me is looking all over the device info screens and dialogs trying to find this>
Them: You'll have to bring the device to one of our stores.
Me: Ugh.

The actual conversation went on for a good ten minutes with no resolution of where HP or MS hid the serial number. When I got home, I googled it. To find the serial number of a Win 8 device simply go to the command prompt and type:
wmic bios get serialnumber
netsh mbn show interface

But of course, how intuitive. Now I have to go to a T-Mobile store. Still better than cussing my way through T-Mobile's phone tree again. Nothing turns me into a foamy mouthed lunatic like voice driver phone trees. "Say 'Yes' or 'No'". "Die in a fire you scum sucking machine and let me talk to a human." "I'm sorry, I don't understand." "The F you don't."

Woke up early to wait for my package that needs a signature... Then after lunch, I checked the tracking and it may not even be on an effing truck yet. FML.

How the hell are we in 2015 and still don't have some sort of home delivery box device that securely stores packages? There's four major couriers in my country: Fed Ex, UPS, postal service, and Purolator. I know they cooperate in the background, I can't believe they can't do it again.

It's called a "PO Box"

It's called a "PO Box"

The PO boxes I know of are at the post office para mucho denero... Closer than some of the depots, but not at my doorstep.

"The F you don't."

I went to the T-Mobile store only to be told that they didn't have access to set up this type of account. I went to T-Mobile's website where one has to be connected from the device over T-Moible's network in order to activate so no go there so back to the phone tree. After working with the rep for a awhile T-Mobile declared they couldn't set up the device because the IMEI number was for a cellular device and not a tablet. T-Mobile was going to connect with HP in a three way call to figure that out but dropped the call, leaving me with an HP rep who was utterly clueless.

The tablet goes back to Amazon and T-Mobile has lost another customer for life. </end>

n/m, too snarky.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

[KeithTalent]

I bought a Chromecast but don't feel like opening the box and setting it up. Looks like too much work.
