Trying to save some cash so got dinner off the McD's Dollar Menu. Cheeseburger, small fry, drink. Realize that I basically just got a Happy Meal without a toy. FML

Shits rough.

As far as the department head, no suggestions there!

Shits rough dude; I remember breaking up with my last long term GF a year ago, was not easy. Make sure you're 100% committed before you jump, cause the maybe we should get back together, maybe we shouldn't crap is the worst part. If that is avoidable, thats the best.

Ahahaha, I know that feel. In fact I often get a happy meal when I'm not too hungry.
To break it down (yes, UK is expensive):

£2.49 for happy meal

£0.99 (the "£1" menu) soft drink
£0.99 medium fries
£0.99 cheeseburger (£1.49 for double cheeseburger)

However, play it right and it's good. Always ask for a Tropicana (250ml) as that shit is worth £1.49 in a supermarket, whereas softdrink is probably only worth at most £0.30.

The toy itself is useful. I usually hoard them because in the office a lot of people often like to bring their babies/kids to work for "show" (like a trophe). In this instance I will give them the toy as a little gift. Sometimes I keep it for myself if it's something popular/I like.

I don't see what the hell is wrong with consuming items from the children menu. I know at work a few people give me weird looks if I told them I had a happy meal, but I then respond with "so?"

I found that as long as you do/carry out things with a curious manner people generally will see the better side of you and won't give much fucks about it.

Even the chicks at McDonalds give me a slightly odd look when I insist I want my happy meal in the proper box (they sometimes ask if I want the box, AND THE TOY!) Getting my money's worth, hah
The good ones don't even bat an eyelid and give me what I order!

I'm a man child and proud of it.

Fuck the healthcare bullshit specifically Kaiser.

I've had nothing but crap from them from day one.

So I did something to my foot , I think I hurt it when I was working out one day. Now it's tender to touch and shit so had an appointment yesterday where the doctor barely even visually looked at it and just ordered x-rays which I agreed with. Was told I would hear something by end of day.

Of course no word , no email , not a fucking thing. Last night weight bearing became harder , just lifting my foot after standing still was a fucking chore. So first thing today I call back wanting to know wtf is going on.

So phone conversation goes like this :

Me : I'm calling to see if I can get the results or a message sent over about my xrays I had done yesterday. I am in more pain today and would like some assistance.

Kaiser_idiot_01: Okay I can help with that. Now is this the result of an injury or do you suspect a broken bone ?

Me : Well I have no clue that's why they did the xray which is what I want to follow up on since I am not a doctor.

Kaiser_idiot_01: Okay let me transfer you to an advice nurse the wait is five minutes.

Me : No.I don't want -- *insert phone clicks to transfer* You fucking asshole.

Advice nurse comes on and sends the message after going through the stupidest non essential questions ever as scripted and then tells me "Oh they actually have 48 hours to get back to you about the xray and any further issues"

I was ready to fucking choke a bitch at this point. Seriously..? I'm telling you bearing weight actually causes me a 6-7 pain when it's at it's worst but that's not important , nope. Fuck you Kaiser.

Seriously. Thankfully today is much cooler here ( only mid 80's and with a breeze) but fuck the fucking heat especially with no A/C on a top floor apartment.
I got spoiled growing up in Florida with A/C in every house I lived in.
I can't fucking wait to move next year..hopefully.

Also fuck the housing market in the Bay fucking area. That's what I get for getting married.

I just did 1400 square feet and it's 100 here.

Tilling anything with a walk-behind is an ass kicker in itself. When you add the heat it becomes outright dangerous. It really isn't that hot here, but normally we only get about 10 days above 90 all year and average highs in the low 80s even in late summer. 80 degrees in May is uncommon.

Sitting pretty fucking HOT over here with all the other people as well. San Diego is on fire AND I'm also spoiled about Floridian houses having AC. Fjhsfkjshfkjshkjksdhfsdhlfkjsdhfskdj

I love the heat. All of you can give your heat to me so that I don't have to experience January and February in Florida.

I don't get snow, but I get cold. I actually hate air conditioning because I'm usually freezing even when it's like 99 degrees outside. I shouldn't have to wear big bulky sweaters in Florida in May. I'm just cold blooded.
