My business flight was cancelled thanks to all the winter weather. I'm pretty pissed and I'm going to miss a key meeting. So I'm having to book a flight to a city that is ~45 miles away and I'm going to rent a car and drive from there.

I'm not too experienced for driving on icy roads, so I'm probably going to drive like a granny. Greaaaaaaaaat.

Drive fast, take chances and pass on curves.

Oh, trying to get my 8 hours sleep after staying up extra late after the OMG Superbowl. I got up after ~6 1/2 hours.

Slept till 12 noon today.

Got hooked on Age of Empires 3.

That's a good one... it's got some of that physics shit. Makes gunpowder so much more fun.

Mine: My interwebs got downgraded today from 25/2 to 10/1. I wanted to save a couple bux. FML, it's slower.

Okay... so I'm actually not noticing a difference with my slower interwebs because 99% of what I do is surf and YouTube. Ya, saved $10/month!

Talk to me again when I try my first Steam download...

Oh, and I just found out Hotmail has its own 2-step verification log-in. Turned it on for Gmail a while ago, don't know why I didn't for Hotmail considering it can be used to unlock all of my important log-ins.

No problem. I just need two open at a time... One for watching, one for background noise.


New one: YouTube keeps playing the same damn ad in the playlist I'm running. Worst of all, it's an ad for tourism in my city. Why the hell would I need an ad for touring my own city...

Oh God. I've been getting the same beer ads hundreds of times and I don't drink. I am convinced that Google has something wrong about me in their database and are specifically targeting me with these ads. It's almost like the alcohol advertisers are fighting for my views and paying to one up each other in front of my eyeballs because they think I'm some lucrative target. I always skip when available. Is there some way to update their dossier on me to reflect that I don't drink?

The girl working at the place I bought my coffee this morning was far too attractive; it was distracting.

Just got to the plant where I am assigned for strike duty and there's no one here yet. I guess I'll pour myself another cup of coffee....

Kind of weird. I have a new Kindle with ads and the lockscreen is inevitably trying to get me to purchase a novel. I read zero fiction. They should have noticed that. I think the thing is they make a lot more money pushing fiction than non-fiction. Non-fiction requires a ton of research. Fiction, just someone whipping up some fantasy prose.

You could email them a picture of the empty spot where your balls should be, that should fix it.

I was making hashbrowns this morning, went to flip them and dumped most of the pan right on top of the hot burner.

It was so utterly frustrating that I'm taking the day off to re-examining my life because of it.

128GB iPhone 6 Plus camera just failed on a unit with the bad TLC NAND. Have to back it up and make an unexpected visit to an Apple store 50 miles away.
