Mint had an update. Mint now takes a really, really, REALLY long time to display absolutely anything.

I bought myself a new dinner plate and a new bowl to replace ones I had chipped. Apparently in the 12-ish years since I bought my plates, Crate & Barrel just slightly changed the design of their plain white dinnerware. I’d rather be short a plate and bowl than have ones that almost match but don’t.
I really don’t want to pay to ship these items back. And I really don’t want to go to a mall. I may just take them into work and add them to the hodgepodge of plates and dishes in the kitchen.

There are dirty dishes in the sink that are showing no inclination to wash themselves.

That’s the worst.
We have some of those too.
I don’t know what’s wrong with them that they don’t wash themselves like I asked.

My back hurts and it’s snowing hard. The kids made a huge whiny fuss when I asked them to shovel so I just did it. I have serious regrets and I sort of hate them right now.

Same.
The down side to all the incredible food we’ve made is the stunning amount of dishes I’ve ended up with. I wonder if I can foist them on my dad since he was the one person not cooking.

That’s not foisting, not if he has been eating.

Follow-up tiny complaint:
To make my dad do the dishes, I will need to take him away from watching Star Wars RotJ which he hasn’t seen since it first came out and my mom has seen never. They are being adorable in their delight.

My back hurts from lifting many cases of wine yesterday at work. This week is our busiest week of the year so I won’t get a break until Friday.

I keep getting Etsy and Amazon orders, which would not be a complaint except that none of my packages except 1 are moving right now and I know I’ll just need to refund them. If I could actually keep any of this money I would be very happy!
I thought about temporarily taking down my shop but that messes with the algorithms and puts you to the bottom of search when you come back. Crafter friends who have done this say their business never recovered.
Also, now I have to take another long walk to the post office tonight in the dark and cold. The orders came in right after I came home from yesterday’s walk to the post office.

Also,I fucking hate our fonts management software at work. It’s one of the few things that I need VPN for. About half the time, it’s fine. The other half the time, I connect to VPN (beachball spins spins spins) then I try and log into the font server (spin spin spin) and it tells me I am already connected so I have to restart my whole goddamned Mac. Which is problematic when I’m trying to work while half listening to a meeting.
Clearly I am NOT connected to the fonts server because I have no available fonts, you piece of shit!! Argh.

The fresh snow is ankle deep and my moccasins are not ankle high.

I have been @'ing the wrong co-worker on tickets. Possibly for the past week. I am SUPER embarrassed. No one has said anything though so now I am wondering if maybe her surname changed and she’s in the system twice?
I literally have NO idea and am too embarrassed to ask.

My coworker told me that our bossfamily (husband, wife, and daughter who all work here) might be going to Mexico next week for vacation. Sigh. I don’t think it’s official yet, but still.

I thought we had a plumbing problem but actually we have a cat pissing on the floor problem. This is much much worse.

I see you’ve discovered the location of your new litter box.

At the very foot of the basement stairs, where I can’t stop the dogs from going?
We will try dousing the floor in vinegar, lemon oil, and other deterrent smells.

My back has opinions about sitting in the seat of my car, and it’s getting louder about its opinions every day. My bank account also has opinions about it. They aren’t the same opinions.

SERIOUSLY? I’m listening to the Messiah via Youtube, and I know that means ad interruptions, but do they have to be ads for weight loss products? FFS.
