Tiny Complaints

I said something rude and uncalled for about a coworker this week. I started out thinking I was being funny/cute, but it went past that and was neither of those. I have apologized but it still feels icky to know that sometimes I can be mean. Even with the apology I am now both embarrassed and feel like a stupid asshole. Our office is 6 people so it is impossible to separate. I’m off next week, so hopefully I can get myself in a better mental place about work before I go back. I really haven’t liked being there for a while now and obviously it’s showing.

Thank you for the hearty laugh, JJ. Daughter enjoyed the story, too. :smiley:

The new neighbors dog seems to know when I want to nap and chooses that time to bark at all the things. Hooray.

Streaming Eurovision on Peacock is not free this year and I was gonna do a virtual watch with my friends but dealing with the subscription and cancelling it seems too annoying. I’d rather just watch the Eurovision movie again on Netflix :slight_smile:

In case it helps - I’ve done a 1 month subscription from Peacock and then cancelled, and it was super super easy :slight_smile:

College Buddy sent me his opinions on this year’s songs and he wasn’t very enthused, otherwise I might have put more effort into watching it :joy: I’m in a group chat and just watching the older videos of anything worth a mention there. He and his wife are European and their Romanian neighbor watching together. The neighbor is apparently horrified at how bad the songs are.

New TC: our remaining Brondell bidet has just bit the dust. The other one was barely used but started leaking at the controller. Now this older one has lost water pressure, probably because of a leak. There was water all over the floor yesterday. I’m looking on eBay to get a Tushy to replace it. Hopefully it lasts for a long time!

The last couple times I’ve gotten a Lyft I’ve had 2-3 drivers on me cancel, turning a 5 minute “express” wait into a 15-20 minute wait with no discount

I’m not sure why Walgreens would send me two separate texts when a prescription was ready, one with the actual prescription info and a separate text from a different number with location info. I had unsubscribed to the latter one but then it turned off all notifications! I still want prescription updates, but I don’t need to know about my pharmacy hours every time from a separate number!

Also every time I need a Humira refill they call me over and over and after I talk to someone I need to talk to an Oregon pharmacist (separate call) before they can finalize delivery. It’s so dumb. Why don’t they just let me do it online?

pine sap stuck to puppies toe beans and between his toes clumped to his fur :confounded: that was not fun to remove and I now have several new “teething” marks on my arms and hands. (Is it still teething if they already have all of their teeth :joy:)

Oh no, two complaints in one day. I didn’t have potatoes, but I wanted fries, so I made carrot fries in the air fryer and they were actually so good but I ate 5 large carrots and now I have regrets

Ooooooo. :grimacing: yeah, I once ate an entire cauliflower in one evening because it was so good the way it was cooked. Pro tip! Don’t do that.

I did yard work today and lost my sunglasses. After searching for them I found them on my head.

Oh, I have been there - recently I panicked because I couldn’t find my phone. Tried “Find My Phone”, Spouse called it. I looked everywhere in the house - EXCEPT for the kangaroo pocket of the hoodie I was wearing under a windbreaker. DOH!

Our landlord’s homeowners insurance sent a threatening letter saying they would drop her if she didn’t get the front yard tree trimmed so it wasn’t touching and hanging over part of the house. Fair, hurricane season is coming and that is a hazard.

But it is a lovely crepe myrtle that blooms pale pink and now it looks super bare and sad and also our front porch is less shady. I know it was a safety issue and they did it neatly but it just doesn’t look lush out there any more.

Our library is switching from Overdrive to Libby and I HATE it. The interface is so terrible.

It keeps sending me back to my loans page anytime I do something - back out of a book description to go to my search results, send a book to my Kindle (again, from a search), push back to go to the previous page of search results - all of these send me either to my loans page or Libby Home.

Gah.

Ooh yeah I love Libby but find the app interface baffling sometimes

I am prone to cysts especially when stressed but having a bunch of cysts makes me more stressed and it becomes a vicious circle :neutral_face:
