First pot of chili of the season came out too tomato-y. I’m not a fan of tomatoes except as an ingredient, and apparently (finally) using up all the ones a friend had passed along was a bit too much. It’s not inedible or anything, especially with bread and cheese, but still a little disappointing.

Someone threw up on our doormat and our front steps.
Based on the size of the puddles I am assuming it was the neighborhood feral cat but still, ew.

I had to pay a $66 tariff on some clothes that didn’t arrive before the deadline. Now, apparently UPS didn’t charge me enough and I still owe about $3. Fine. I go online and put in the info from the letter, checking it multiple times. It says the account number doesn’t exist. I try calling but apparently it’s at least a 50 minute wait. Trying to file a BBB complaint because what the hell? I just want to pay the bill! but the internet is having issues (?) so the page is frozen. I think it’s the internet because I also called my dentist to pay a bill and the credit card submission froze.
Oh it’s probably Amazon Web Services causing world-wide issues… I’ll submit the complaint later. Or maybe check to see if it magically recognizes my account number later.

I know I am old-school, but I remember when a big thing about the internet was resilience and no single point of failure

I’m trying to sign into a couple of accounts but the 2FA is crapping out. I’m assuming AWS is at fault and will hopefully be able to get done what I need to later this week.
But between this and the government shut down … everything is fine…

Oh no. Was it in a church? Church pierogies are the best

No, it was in a tiny crumbling building hidden behind a barber shop. Which also has good pierogi vibes.
I live somewhere with a huge polish community so I’m sure there’s other good places. But this was my place.

I had a derm appointment a few weeks ago. They had my insurance, knew what procedures were performed, and charged me a copay, so I was ridiculous and assumed that was the end of it.
Dude.
I don’t OWE all of this, thankfully, I owe ~$275, and I have an HSA I can pull from. But I was with the doctor for MAX 20 minutes. She biopsied one mole on my leg, and apparently 2 mL of lidocaine, a razor blade, and a tiny petri dish cost $380, haha.

I make a vinegar slaw for tacos that includes a few whole cloves in it.
My last bite of slaw had a clove in it and that was not the flavor profile I wanted to stay in my mouth omg

Honestly with a mole removal and then a pathologist looking at it, that’s less than I’ve paid recently, and the same as I paid 15 years ago, so you got a deal

Last time I was at the Derm, as we were about to wrap up our appointment she was like, oh do you want me to burn that off real quick? It was a little benign thingy I can’t remember the name of, and I was like sure! She was so casual about it! She hit it for like 0.00003 sec with the liquid nitrogen, said bye, and I got a $180 bill for that procedure, lol.

If the musician’s union can’t come to an agreement with the Broadway League by tomorrow morning, they’re going on strike effective immediately.
My ticket to see Leslie Odom Jr. in Hamilton is tomorrow night. Tickets for the remainder of the run are very limited and $1000+ (I did not pay $1000).
(This complaint is very tiny in the scheme of a well deserved fair contract for the musicians and all the people’s livelihoods that will be affected if Broadway goes dark. Get it together Broadway League!!)
EDIT: This turned into a TV because the musicians got what they needed at 4:30 AM!

Apparently I need to update my picture for my ski pass, which would be fine except
- They want one without a hat or glasses which rules out just about every single photo I have except for my vaguely-murderous-looking passport photo given that my glasses are basically permanently attached
- I ski in (at minimum) shell pants, a jacket, a helmet, and goggles over my glasses, usually with balaclava for the wind as well…what exactly does the photo identify?
and oh, yeah - They’re RFID passes that basically give pass/fail and have been for a decade…it’ll sit inside my jacket and no one will ever see it.
Very minor complaint because I’ll send them the murderous passport photo and be done with it, but it’s still ridiculous

Trying to be a responsible citizen and fill out my ballot for local elections and all of that, but would it kill people to actually document their platforms, the positive/negative aspects of the various propositions, etc.? I get it’s not a big year national election wise, but I also don’t consider “No comment entered by constitutional deadline” or “You should vote for me because my family looks good in pictures” to be particularly useful when it comes to making relevant decisions.
