I spent an hour and a half rerouting the cables that were bugging me all of yesterday. Desk is so clean now... but I don't use that space back there.

I thought I was working only 3 days, but I forgot that I have 2 days of OT Thursday and Friday. I an use the $$$ though. I still owe 2k on my A/C, and it's almost winter!

All my shows are being preempted by the stupid debate and news channels are making it out to be something so important. Do you really need a debate to decide on this? Positions and demeanors between the two are night and day.

I ordered a Tshirt from theoatmeal.com, and it had a series of confusing redirections for paying. Had to use paypal which doesn't excite me in the first place, and it went back and forth between sites a few times :^/ I finally got it through, and got a confirmation email, but the process sucked. I feel like I'm gonna get screwed some how.

I wish the debate was not so late, but I work at 7am tomorrow. Hate getting up that early. That's why I mostly ask for nights, but still like to work SOME days to stay in the loop of what's going on in the office etc.

I am going to PVR it though, figure it might be entertaining to watch. But I'm sure there will be plenty of highlights tomorrow on the news. Really I can't wait for this whole thing to be over so we can stop hearing about it though. Been over a freaking year, it's ridiculous how the states drag out the election so much. We had time to elect a new prime minister and our elections started AFTER the US one, and ended around this time... last year. lol

I received my windshield washer nozzles from amazon today so I installed them and am happy that my washer now covers the glass with a nice fan instead of the stream towards the wiper arms that the broken unit was producing.

My iPhone 7 sold for $1,925.00 on eBay, but the buyer has 0 feedback and an invalid street address. Hasn't paid. Probably a shill account for someone else selling a similar item. Trying to inflate the average selling price of a similar item they are selling later. I guess I'll just keep the phone.

Someone boiled ginger for an hour and stunk up the entire building. Hours later, it still stinks.

I was planning a hiking trip in the Petrified Forest for this weekend. It's raining. The Painted Desert turns to snot in the rain.





I guess I'll have to go hiking in the mountains instead.

It is the last Quarter of the year so we are very busy at work.

1) Training - need to have at least 40 hours of CPE per year plus all the standard updates.
2) Benefits - need to get the high deductible health care so the premium will be lower.
3) Vacation - need to lower the vacation hours earned to 200 hours or less.

and on and on. ....and the time to neff here with you fools.

That sounds like a first world solution

WTF ginger smells great, I usually brew some alcoholic ginger beer just before winter a love they way the kitchen smells after boiling it.

Flaky guy on Craigslist thinks he can dick me around and I'll still reserve the item for him indefinitely. We "soft" agreed to finalize on Saturday and I even lowered the price cause he asked, then I hear nothing until Sunday.

He gives potential times and locations on Sunday, I agree to them, then I don't hear back for two days. Meanwhile, I gave up on him Monday after waiting a day and sell it to another guy who actually bothered to reply to his emails. Now I have to ghost the original guy.

Why bother ghosting? As long as he doesn't know where you live I'd just straight up tell him the item is sold.

it's more fun to pretend like you still have the item

I have other listings and if he gets pissed, he might pretend to be interested in the other listings, meet up, and have his way with me. Kinda paranoid, but people be crazy.

To avoid hurting the feels.

What a day. I want to keep my vehicle a few years longer but look like it is time to look for another one. Want vs. Need. WWJD.
