Hungry and dinner isn’t ready yet
Phone no longer seems to like to charge ![]()
My toddlers hands are loudly having a fight? Apparently the right hand wants to be close to the left hand, but the left hand wants to move away…
The only coffee making equipment in my airbnb is a french press, which I’ve never used before. It took way longer than a coffee machine, and also ended up too strong so now I’m over caffeinated.
There is literally no reason to raise one’s voice at someone in a work meeting at my job. We make books, there is nothing life and death here.
I wasn’t the recipient of the raised voice but I still don’t like listening to it and it isn’t ok to yell at people over a simple misunderstanding.
the water and sewer authority has issued a boil water order at the airbnb i am staying at. i am staying at this airbnb because the water and sewer authority’s sewer re-lining project has made my home unlivable. what a bunch of assclowns.
I vote the universe be nice to you, starting now. Enough is enough.
Slept like crap again, but my TC is specifically about my phone’s white noise app that would cut out randomly even though I specifically did not set a timer. A new white noise app has been acquired.
Hey fun fact I just learned- if you got over $300 in Costco rewards you can direct deposit it into your bank! I learned this AFTER the poor cashier had to call management to get my absurd amounts of cash, so don’t be me ![]()

(My complaint is that I was accidentally a difficult customer and I HATE that)
My boss just said something in a meeting about how my dog has “filled a hole in my heart”
I wasn’t aware I had a hole in my heart, and I hate the trope that a person who is single is empty and unfulfilled. I mean I love my pup more than words, but he didn’t fill a hole, he added joy to my already full life! I feel so petty, but this kind of talk bugs the shit out of me….
I hate it so much
I’m a complete person. The people and animals in my life enrich it but don’t somehow make me more complete.
Hi, I am an emissary for sprocket. You were only
before. Now you are extra.
But both of you… that is super gross
And also…even if that weren’t a gross thing to say (which it is), why would a manager say that to an employee??? Like, nothing about that is work-related or their business at all.
also wait did they say that in a meeting with other people?? God I hope not
I shall gently virtually bop your manager on the nose with a newspaper
Yes it was in a meeting, thankfully only with my small team, who all happen to be single, so good for them to know they are empty too! Sigh. I really like my boss and have a great relationship with her, butttttt I could do without ever hearing that again.

So very uncool of your manager, @mountainmustache29
My DD’s work’s monthly Big Staff Meeting has a slide show of everyone’s new dogs, cats, and babies.
Dd says it’s the best thing about the meeting (except the free lunch.)
A software update made a minor change to something that does not materially impact me but it slightly moved around a few things on the UI. Boo, hiss!
Last week I took my kid and his friend to value village because they both needed pants. There were no change rooms so the kids bought everything that seemed promising, to try on at home and return anything that didn’t fit.
This morning I went to return a few things and found out that they don’t do refunds, just exchanges. In a store with no change rooms. What the fuck? So I’ll have to come back with a kid and find things that they want. I don’t want this to be a saga.
Also it’s goddamned cold out and I hurt. I’m just mad at everything.
Children who phone at lunch time because he forgot his lunch in the fridge
(related tiny victory, I keep a stash of Mr Noodles at my desk so even though I gave him my lunch, I still have a lunch. Also, his school is 2km from the office)
I got a Wendy’s salad when I was out earlier. Usually they are great and I’ve been looking forward to eating it all day. Now I’m eating it and they left the chicken out completely and half the lettuce is rotten and slimy.
I’m so disappointed.
There is no way I’m leaving the house to go complain and get a replacement. I’ll just whine here.
