Kid has a 104.1 temperature, an ear infection, and tonsillitis. Gonna be a LONG fucking weekend.

ewww, hospital visit in your future? that's a very high temp

[Astylla]

I'm no expert but I know as an adult at 104 they say go to the hospital, do might be for the best. I can't imagine how stressful this is and hope things get better soon.

Already hit his pediatrician up earlier. Basically told us if he hits 104.5 and stays there for any longer than an hour to take him to Children's. They checked him out in the office just to make sure he was good to come home. We just gave him a lukewarm bath and that seems to have brought it down dramatically.

That sucks but please tell me you didn't put everything in checked luggage. I always make a point to shove as much important shit into my purse or carryon as possible for this reason.

My biggest point of confusion is why you didn't commandeer a handtruck. 200 is a lot, yes. But I can't believe a company that size doesn't have a handtruck *somewhere*.

Oh I didn't have to move them all one at a time. Picking up 200 computers 2 times (onto the cart and off) in the requisite time though...Yeah, I fucked up my shoulder doing it. Also, having to move what was in the space out of said space. I think they where switches or servers, they where still boxed.

The whole thing pisses me off to no end because everyone keeps saying they don't understand it makes it even more frustrating.

I guess the TL;DR version is my work is a circus run by sadistic clowns who's only thrill in life is to exert their "power" whenever they can force someone below them in the corporate food chain to perform an action. One of them decided she was going to have me clear out a room that she wanted to use, because reasons, when there were 9 other empty rooms available.

And then some rando took out the power to the building for the whole day, making all of my toils completely pointless. I don't know what I did to piss god off other than all the gay sex I've ever had, but that was just unnecessary.

I don't know what I did to piss god off

oh surely its not as bad as all th-

other than all the gay sex I've ever had

[Qeomash]

How can gay sex be so bad if it feels sooo goooood?

I'm at home, so I have stuff, but most of my good clothes (the ones that actually fit because I have few of those currently) are in the checked bag. I usually don't check a bag for this exact reason, and the one time I do, it gets lost. Never again.

This is one of the worst days in the history of casual sex. http://money.cnn.com/2015/03/03/tech...lus/index.html

Many wish they could swipe left and reject the latest version of Tinder.

On Monday, the dating app launched its new premium service, Tinder Plus. New features include the option to "rewind" or unswipe someone they didn't mean to pass on and the ability to match with people around the country instead of one geographic location. (The app lets users "swipe right" on people they find attractive or "swipe left" to reject someone.)

But the premium service varies in price and favors the young.

In the U.S., those under 30 pay $9.99 a month. If you're 30 or over, you'll pay $19.99. (In the UK, you pay more if you're over 28.)

Many are taking to Twitter to air their frustrations.

"Doesn't making people over 30 pay more for Tinder feel like some sort of penalty? You haven't found love yet, give us your money," tweeted @eleshepp.
tinder out of likes To upsell users to Tinder Plus, some users are receiving notifications that they've reached their "likes" limit.

Is Tinder suggesting that 30 is the new middle age? Not so, says Tinder spokeswoman Rosette Pambakian.

"During our testing we've learned, not surprisingly, that younger users are just as excited about Tinder Plus, but are more budget constrained," wrote Pambakian in an e-mail. "Lots of products offer differentiated price tiers by age, like Spotify does for students. Tinder is no different."

To incentivize users to upgrade, Tinder has also introduced a limit on how many swipes right or "likes" are allowed within a certain time frame. Once that's exceeded, users must wait 12 hours to swipe again.

So, how many swipes do users get? According to Pambakian, there's actually no set number.

"It's based on an algorithm, and in some cases it is individual," wrote Pambakian. "The vast majority of our audience will never hit any swiping barrier."

But within the first day, it seemed many users were in fact hitting that barrier.

"So Tinder, you're telling me that I'm out of right swipes for the day and can no longer swipe right on everyone... This is depressing. #smh," tweeted @BradyMcIntyre_.

@timmyslices tweeted "#Tinder is now limiting number of likes per 12 hours... Be careful out there," along with an Instagram photo reading, "Every swipe matters now."

@Whatupmax tweeted: "Running out of lives on candy crush was always devastating but it pales in comparison to running out of likes on tinder #thegamehaschanged"

According to Pambakian, the limitations should encourage users to "make sure their swipes are honest" (in other words, don't just like everyone and see who likes you back). She suggested "power users" upgrade for unlimited liking.

This is Tinder's first attempt at monetization. The service is owned by IAC/InteractiveCorp (IACI), parent company to other dating platforms like Match.com and OkCupid.

Tinder declined to disclose its number of users but said that one million new users join every week. Pambakian said the app makes 22 million matches a day across 140 countries.
