Random Fail: First World Problems

So finally got new internet with new well liked local company. Huzzah. First problem it's not cable so have to use the only phone line in the house a which of course is right over my very limited kitchen counter space and needs to use an outlet near the corner I put my bike. Then because of distance they had to get me a wireless adapter. Worst fail is company hasn't laid it's own lines here yet so they are using AT&Ts lines which of course are fucking trash so even though they guaranteed worst case scenario I'd be at 18 Mbps I'm testing at like 8-10 down and <1 up right now. Which given how much I'm doing doesn't sound horrible but it's kind of amazing how I can already see just basic webpages loading slower already.

As much as it pains me to say this already not a fan and might have to stick to Comcast. I can work around them throttling the fuck out my bandwidth when I'm doing heavy downloading and I can probably get them to lower their rates back to where they were with saying I'm thinking of switching. But I'm not sure I can wait a couple of seconds for every page to load every time. We shall see how it handles heavy downloads in comparison at least I might be able to download a bunch of backlog off them before my 30 free trial ends lol

side note: just got confirmation the birthday present I sent just got received.

Meant to say it the other day, but you should've tried to get that cycle chick's phone number.

Mother in law: Abraham Lincoln is my favorite person in the world. Besides Jesus.

Me: I think the dog needs to go outside.

Just walked about two miles to the train because no buses showed up along the way.

Other than the 6 that we're going the opposite direction.

Another fail! She had to be a solid 9+ so honestly I just kind of assumed she was a bit out of my league until I saw her following so close and then I was just kind of shocked lol

He has my internal rage that dwells within him. He will inevitably lash out when the time is right.

When hooking my PS3 up to my main monitor, trying to use the "PC Audio" jack for my 2.1 speakers does nothing.

Had lady friend stay the night which is awesome but got loud insistent knocks on my door at like 7 am because of it. You see we have assigned parking but no car so I normally don't use mine and they put cones in front of them. So when I have guests over that use it they always verify it. Except this time the normal person sent a complete moron who thought she was sent to tell me to get out of the spot and use my own without even stopping to think how they heck did they know to come to me if it wasn't my spot. Also 7 in the fucking morning. Upside I guess is waking us helped get some more sessions in

Other fail is it's cheat day and I normal start them super early in the morning before I go to sleep and it's 2pm and only calories I've had was one of those black currant 1983 pepsi's. How am I supposed to hit 10k calories like that!?! Side note Pepsi 1983 was already amazing but they really stepping up their game with these flavored ones. Even like the citrus one and I fucking hate grapefruit

Went out last night to meet a new friend and had a blast but somewhere during the walk downtown and getting home hurt my ankle horribly to the point it's still swollen. Went to minor injury clinic this morning and I'm stuck in a walking boot for 3 weeks, ugh.
Someday I'll learn how to not hurt myself.

Pour some Tussin' on it and you'll be fine.

Haha ok that definitely made me laugh and I needed that. I fucked up my knee too which I think pisses me off more but it's just badly scraped/bruised.

We are getting a corporate visit on Tuesday, so everybody is freaking out over cleaning the theatre. Our general manager decides he will be the one to clean all of the projectors. Right before the 7:30 show of GotG2 in our premium theatre, I get a complaint that the image is projecting on the ceiling. Go up there and find the lens loose because he accidentally moved the lever that holds it in place, and now it won't lock back into place. (Found out from our tech later that it was bent which is it why I couldn't get it locked in again).

So now we have about 150 people needing passes and refunds, and the one asshole who is mad because he has to wait in line and his time is valuable. Sorry, but I can't be in the theatre giving out passes while at the same time be at the front desk processing refunds. And quit bitching about your time since you were originally going to be in the movie for the next 2 1/2 hours anyway so I know you have nowhere else to be right now.

Have had a stomach bug for the last 48 hours. Weekend is a writeoff. Can't stop shitting.
