Random Fail: First World Problems

[dasva]

I don't understand they can even stand it. I mean as bad as this was I'd hate to imagine what it would be like if my nose wasn't constantly congested and I could actually smell it too.

[Aksannyi]

I'm actually allergic to that stuff so I actually have to talk to the person if it's someone that I have to interact with on a regular basis. You can guess how well those conversations go.

[Churchill]

I don't know why people think it's acceptable to drown yourself in perfume. So many times I have people walking by just in public and I want to just gag from how strong the horrible alcohol smell is.
Well I definitely wear perfume I definitely try to use it in extreme moderation especially when I'm going to work because I know how sensitive some people can be. it's also just a fucking courteous thing to do.

We don't mind the alcohol, the actual smell of flowers and dumb shit gives men headaches.

Could be worse on the opposite end of the stench spectrum. Several years back, my supervisor thought it would be acceptable to wash himself with only a pumice stone. No soap, no shampoo, just a pumice stone. I thought he was homeless or something because it was that bad, like dumpster diving bad stench at its worst, and at best, dirty laundry bad. This went on for 2-3 months. Someone on the same management level eventually asked if he could clean up and he got offended. Retorted that people with cologne and perfume offend him. I think this coincided with my mental breakdown and eventual therapy because the work environment sucked so much. Being in a 7x6 conference room with the doors closed for meetings was a death sentence.

I, too, hate strong perfume, and feel sick to my stomach or headachey around strong ones. Some men's deodorants and cologne's, too.


As for Gamestop: Corporate PowerUp Rewards. I used to work there and had 79,000 points that "expired." Old boss said I could get them back by calling HQ/Corp. They said yes but I had to buy something, even only a dollar to make sure it was my account or just to see some activity or something and they could do it. I did that. Now I gotta call them back and I am on hold at the moment. I will report back in a bit on this issue.

As for the headset, this is a shitty headset and before this I had the G930's. They were SHIT. Utter fucking disappointment. Always "resetting" while in use, battery not even low, right near the computer. (We had three computers, smartphones, cable box, router, etc. in that room and I'm no electrician but who knows, maybe that was the problem.) but they were crap. Right now, I'm still so salty over those G930's, that I haven't researched or looked into anything to replace them with. Using a dinky old Plantronics headset from my roommate.

So today I still have a lot of office work to make up since I've had to basically do a couple other guys jobs a lot lately... Part of that doing other peoples jobs is minding the store by myself while trying to get my other work done. 30 minutes till we close left and a guy comes in with like 2 minutes of work and then 20 minutes of talking about cars and 30 minutes of trying to recruit me into the CHP. So not only am I still behind on work but also end up staying a good 20 minutes late

Edit: And now I work Saturday. Frick

Decide to grab lunch since hubby us at the gym. Walk in and it's fairly quiet then a fucking family of 5 walk in , kids running around screaming climbing everything. Everyone has some serious allergy and threatens the staff if things aren't perfect and the staff explains the environment isn't completely free of allergens but apparently just rinsing out the production tools us enough ( per parent) wait..what ?

I was forced outside because the number of brats running around. Why people let their kids WALK ON TABLES WHERE FOOD IS EATEN is beyond me. Fucking mother smiles at me like it's fucking cute and I shook my head and gave a dirty look. Now I'm stuck outside smelling horrible burnt fumes from the burger joint and getting a headache from construction behind me. I'm ready to be a hermit now.

I had a set of the Logitech G930s, and can confirm for garbage. The constant resets while in use wiped my FFXIV coil static on more than one occasion.

Police have a perimeter set up in DC on a few streets blocking all traffic. Traffic is a mess this morning. All info says is that they're looking for someone.

[Yuri-G]

I kept trying to screw the top onto my soda bottle just now but I kept screwing it on at just the wrong angle so it wouldn't go on and I hate it when that happens.

I have two banks, with my money split among them. Bank #1 cancelled my debit card with no notification, and told me that I'd need to come in person to get a new card. This is incredibly inconvenient for me as Bank #1 is in my hometown a 2 hour drive away. This has infuriated me to the point that that I promptly wrote a check from Bank #1 to myself for everything in the account and deposited it in Bank #2. After the check clears tomorrow, I am cancelling Bank #1. Fucking ruined my entire afternoon dealing with their bullshit.

[dasva]

So the guy who kept me a good 20-30 minutes after working trying to recruit me for the CHP still hasn't come back in to actually pay for the service.

I am really beginning to hate Sedgwick. Astylla has been off work since October 7th due to changes in her work restrictions due to her carpal tunnel issues. Sedgwick is trying to say they don't have to pay her PD right now due to a job offer from her employer. The problem is, said employer only gave an "offer" 2 weeks ago, and it was more of a we believe you may be able to do your duties using voice recognition software, but we still need to order the software, a mic that works with both the PC and the phone, and bring in an IT person to install, configure and test since we don't have IT staff on site. Losing 40% of your total household income in one shot is a huge kick in the nuts.

If it makes you feel better, I gashed my knee open on Astylla's foot having sex two days ago.

There is no way that the explanation for this isn't nasty as fuck.

[Melena]

Not really, was getting on top of her and scraped my knee on her foot
