Random Fail: First World Problems

[Zetanio]

Hit a fuckin' deer. At least it was only about half a mile from my house. Busted my driver side lights all to shit and fucked my bumper up a bit.

Free venison?

I wish. He got up an ran off. Was only going about 30, my street is a back road. Didn't see him until he popped up in the road, I think he might have been sleeping in the ditch and I spooked him.

Just ate a quadra-layer of irony...

Background: [none serious, but annoying enough to make me want to avoid at all costs] I've got a none Chinese speaking male Chinese potentially autistic guy "stalker" at work. He enjoys talking to me but I find it incredibly difficult to talk to him, mainly because I have to carry the conversation, or it becomes awkward silences. As it's a user, I have to uphold a certain level of politeness. This guy is just interested in everything I do/have, while being absolutely boring himself to me, and we have no common interests. People say he stalks me, but just for fun. Hence, the "stalker" part. I avoid him at all costs as I don't want to engage in boring conversation which ends up with me speaking most of the time, and/or awkward silence.

He's been "sick" for the last 90~ days.

Here was the 4-stack irony I ate:

While at lunch, I come across a regular user, whom I enjoy talking to (anime, games). He asks me randomly about him (as I explained to him my first world problem of him before). I said I haven't seen him for 90~ days, and then talked about something else. He gets mentioned time to time in our talks, as he enjoys the fact I have a "stalker".

After lunch, a team member whom I work very well with informed me he saw him on the way back to the office (outside the front), but not in the office, but potentially came in the office to see HR because of long term sick. Reasonable. I think nothing of it. But funny the "stalker" got mentioned.

10 mins later, my Amazon parcel arrived. It's a replacement mug for my Smoothie Maker at home. But it was damaged, so it'll leak. Within 5 mins I located an Amazon Locker, and print off a returns label. The Amazon Locker is opposite my office in a library. I get it all ready and head to the library.

As I head in the library, THERE HE WAS. ON THE WAY OUT WITH SOMEONE. BUT OF ALL THINGS/TIMES/LOCATION TO ENCOUNTER HIM, THIS WAS THE LOCATION. SOMEWHERE I WOULD NEVER NORMALLY GO. Fffff...

I said hi but walked past very quickly but I looked like I was on a mission, so that was it. We just said hi. He was with someone anyway, and we were on a walking path, so standing there to talk will be obstructive.

But this creates a problem now because when he eventually comes back this will be a point of conversation for him to initiate with (why did i go to the library? what was in my package? why did you need to return it? you drink smoothies?). I've been doing a good job even before he left for sickness to keep EVERYTHING away from him (he would turn a can of Red Bull on my desk into a conversation point by asking "oh what's this?"). And just today, TODAY, it all crumbled in that 15 seconds.

lol

So exhausted from ongoing insomnia last 3 nights. Ended up becoming overly emotional last night crying myself to sleep around 3am. As soon as I walk in people being loud and annoying as shit. Told them I'm not in the mood and to knock it off.

Doing as little as possible to get by today because it should be fucking Friday ugh.

[Tyrath]

The fuck.

My uncle bought one of these for the front yard and named it after my dad, lol

[Krazy]

what the fuck lol

Got my car's damage assessed, it was about $2,300, not too bad. Didn't notice my hood was all dented, so that had to be replaced too.

[Astylla]

I think my work environment is causing me to become physically sick. There's a cold 60ish degree constant forced cold air onto my desk and my back and neck. I wear long thick slacks and have to wear leggings SF under with fur lined boots with 2 pairs of socks and still am shivering. I tried asking if they could try to call building maintenance about it but keep getting told they tried to fix it and just goes back. What makes zero sense is that when I arrive at 8am it's warm air but by 9am it's a feeezer ONLY by my desk.

I get sick stupidly easily as is and actually had to cover my hands with my cardigan to type this or use a mouse. It's fucking bullshit.

Can you not close a vent?


I'd love 60 degrees. If I'm inside it's near 100+ because of equipment. If I'm outside it's whatever the temp is, mid20's or so has only been the worst this month.

No we are in a large corporate owned building we are just leasing and it's just the open style that aren't adjustable. I've asked daily for help because I'm literally shivering everyday. I left early today because of how sick I was feeling. It was almost warmer outside with the wind gusting and rain..

TIME FOR SOME BRAWLIN

[BaneTheBrawler]

u know it

actually I called the property manager and asked him to speak with her. it's winter so the lines are hard to see and I figure she prolly just figured it wasn't a big deal. and I mean, it's not tonight cos our neighbor hasn't been using hers, but it could very easily be a big problem especially with snow removal being a thing. and the lady's new here so I figure she might not even realize assigned parking doesn't just mean everyone gets a space, it means everyone gets one space in particular.

Popped a flat on the side of town where a black man standing around w/o a shirt on is about the most suspicious thing you can encounter, and a good 6 miles from home, lol.

[Tokitoki]

Check your switch/fuse box ?

Yes, that's the first thing I did. It wouldn't be a fail if it was just a flipped breaker.

I'm an engineer and work in construction. If I couldn't figure to try out the breaker box I would rip up my diploma and certificates and quit my job.

[Boyiee]

Speaking of Breakers I just found out I have a 15 going to where a 20 should be and I don't even know what else is fucked up because I only have to open that one due to it being loose outlet. Also found out the majority of it is labeled wrong. Looks like I got some work to do.
