What first world problem did you have today?

[Svnla]

It rained so much in May and June of this year that we had massive flood but July and August with almost no rain so now we have burn ban and drought with massive heat and high humidity.

I just opened the bag of Berry Skittles I got from Best Buy... They kind of suck. I usually love these. Dafuq?

Oh, and every time I open Steam, I see the graphic for Blitzkrieg 2 with a blonde who looks like Taylor Swift -- seriously, that totally looks like her.

:hmm:

OK?

We have a student coming in from RPI to shadow our department for the day. I'll be with him for a few hours and the plan was to take him to one of our plants for the operational testing of a soot blowing air compressor we just installed. I was #6 on the list to request a company car (we have 5). Now I have to drive my own.......

Beer is desirable and in the street rain, why the world is so cruel!?

 

[CZroe]

:hmm:



OK?

I kinda see it.

I saw yellow leaves on the ground today, also heard and saw Canada Geese going south the other day. Summers go by too fast.

Was notified there was an emergency I had to accompany my GF with at her parents house and they used her full, proper name to tell her to come, which obviously meant it was serious. Initially, I thought it they found out she photoshopped one of the D's to an A years ago while in college (yeah, Asian dad is a real thing...). I come to find out her father has purchased over $1000 in frozen steaks, crabs legs, and lobster. The emergency was they couldn't fit it all in their freezer and we had to take a bunch of it.

First world problem is now I have tons of steaks to eat every day... I hope my body can take it.

...A block of meat fell out of the overloaded freezer today. I want to get a chest freezer but every model available here doesn't appear to have very good reviews -- they may die after 1 year warranty is up. FML.

Other problem, I have to dump the dust out of my $500 Dyson tomorrow. Next vacuum is going to use bags.

had to listen to my boyfriend's crisis this morning... he's being promoted into management and moving from a cubicle on one floor to a private office on another, but while his cubicle has a great city view, the office won't have any windows.

 

[NoCreativity]

Had to take the day off work to have my house painted. I'm stuck either watching them paint or watching movies all day while they paint.

Logged into WoW last night just before bed to kick off more garrison missions but the server was down. Cost me lot's of gold and follower XP in missions that could have ticked while I slept.

What a great FWP :thumbsup:

We're checking out of our Hawaiian vacation resort tomorrow, and I have a pile of resort gift cards that I need to get rid of. While at the front desk applying the gift cards this morning, the lady tells me that I had additional resort credit for each night that I've been here.

I had no idea.

It's a use-it-or-lose-it credit, so now I feel pressured to burn all of this resort credit today.

I work from home and have no real obligations today. It's a beautiful day outside and I am going to take an extended lunch and ride my motorcycle around the back roads of Virginia...problem is I don't know if I should take my Street Triple or my Versys 1000. Why do I put myself in these indecisive situations???

I hate you :\

I'm going to leave work at 4:30 pm, drive to physical therapy, get there at 6:15 (maybe have them take me early, but mostly likely I'll be twiddling my thumbs until my appointment time at 7), PT from 7-8:30, get home at 9 pm, and have about 30-45 minutes free before I have to shower and get ready for bed so I can wake up at 5:30 am and do it all over again.

stupid insurance company won't let me rent a car through them that exceeds my $30/day coverage even though I said I'd happily pay the difference myself.

probably going to end up in a compact car that I won't be able to get out of with my bad knee (at which point, the rental will probably just sit in my parking spot for a week while I use my parents' SUV)

debating if it's worth the extra $20/year onto my policy to upgrade to the $50/day rental in case this ever happens again.

Signed up for 50 meg package from my ISP two months ago. Now they're advertising their 100 meg package for less than what I'm paying for the current 50 meg package. I'm going to have to call them and ask for the extra speed.

Replaced the desk in my "home office." Amidst the chaos, dropped my wireless mouse in a laundry basket and it took me an hour to find it.

Haven't have any rain for over a month and today it was raining dog and cat and of course, flash flood. Took twice at long to get home from all the street closings.

 

[Imp]

Spent the entire day putting together a shelf and cleaning e-waste out of a corner out. A picture frame that was leaning on a wall managed to get the paint to melt onto it so picking it up ripped some out -- think it was latex.

Note to self: NEVER buy those cheap shit <$100 stereo systems. I didn't buy one but I had to move it again when cleaning. It probably had 20+ gauge speaker cable, hard-wired to the speaker but grip connectors on the amp/central unit.

Yeah. Third world doesn't have problems like drought, famine, bad weather, monsoons, and flooding.

Our draining system should be able to handle the rain. Lack of maintenance was the problem and clueless drivers drove into water and created horrendous traffic jams. Where did I say anything about famine?

Oh, and who pissed on your cereal? :\

Stupid iPad keyboard dismisses while I'm typing and causes me to post when I'm not done.

Messing with you. I'm your first-world problem.

My "drought" and "famine" comments deliberately exaggerated your comment about the pre-monsoon condition ("hadn't rained for over a month").

Resuming...

Lack of functioning runoff systems is a third-world problem.

Hummm, I don't remember third world countries have the transportation system/streets (especially the thousands of miles of widespread highway system) as in the US and yet, I did spent time at a few of those third world countries.
