Tiny Complaints

I just woke up from a dream about buying chocolate. That probably means I’m going to spend the whole day trying not to buy chocolate, haha.

4 am dog pee break and now I’m wide awake. Also hungry.

I had coffee this morning and I’m still tired but now talking and typing way too fast so I’m incomprehensible and overly reliant on backspace (I had to fix every word that had more than four letters in it in this post)

And I’m still tired

And now the laptop lock I checked and double checked before ordering is not actually compatible with the laptop I was handed so I will probably have to run to the store tonight to get a compatible lock. ARGH. DO. NOT. HAVE. TIME. OR. ENERGY.

Doing month end, I notice that I haven’t gotten child support in a few months. The amount is too small for it to feel worth it to deal with the headaches and mess of dealing with it, but also I’m not interested in letting the douchebag not support his kids as required by law. So here I go.

MORE goddamned surprise snow that was not on my weather app, FFS.

Also, not a tiny complaint, but, current events. I feel helpless. Republicans seem all powerful. And there’s nothing I can do about it because my senators and reps are flaming liberals like me and are already doing what I want.

I can’t ssh into my servers while on wifi unless i ssh into my serves to allow myself to connect on wifi. This could take a minute.

I hate filling out 1099s but they must be mailed today!

I put in an appointment request on the pediatrician’s online portal, but I haven’t heard back yet, so I think I have to call them.

Yeah… you have to do it. For the principal. Can you get him on that government program where they just withhold pay? That always seems easiest for everyone. He’s still at forever job, right?

Smacky · January 31, 2020, 5:14pm

He is part of that program, but every now and then he tells payroll that they don’t have to submit child support any more, just for funsies. Then I have to alert the child support collection agency to the problem and they have to get a new court order. In the end I’ll get all the money I’m owed, but I hate being jerked around like this. He pays $10/ day per child to have zero responsibility for them. That seems like a screaming deal, and like he should stop being such a pain in the ass.

Elle · January 31, 2020, 5:52pm

Children cost much more than $10/day. Yours even have individual bedrooms

Smacky · January 31, 2020, 5:56pm

In theory they should cost $20 per day, each, so each parent is contributing equally.

LOLOLOLOL

Elle · January 31, 2020, 5:58pm

I will budget for this 20/day scenario all by myself. Clearly I had been overestimating

TNT · January 31, 2020, 6:08pm

I can’t even watch. Like, I keep coming on here to read the forum, and watching Netflix shows, and playing endless solitaire, because…it’s painful. And terrifying.

TrisPrior · January 31, 2020, 7:01pm

Me either, this shit just floats across my Facebook feed without my permission.

Retractable leashes.

Smacky · January 31, 2020, 8:33pm

I want to go out but Nacho won’t leave the kennel.

rural · January 31, 2020, 9:57pm

You may need a kennel big enough for both of them.

Smacky · January 31, 2020, 10:12pm

Often I forget to check for the cat when locking Daisy up and come home to a very damp and cranky Nacho.
Yet he persists in using the kennel as his own.
