Random Fail: First World Problems

[Astylla]

I will tell you this now before you actually move in together, but if she isn't organized on her own, she is not going to be organized living with you. I mean, good luck and all, but I've been there. Both with it being myself and the other person.
You will be exhausted from cleaning up after her consistently and be prepared to possibly deal with feelings of resentment. At least you seem to know what you're getting into.

Fucking this. Also if you aren't sure of it don't feel pressured because that will just make it worse and resentment over it is possible as stated above.

Living with someone is stressful enough but it should be on positive terns not dread. Tell her to start being an adult or she can find her own place lol.

[Pringles]

I don't feel pressure to move in with her, I'm at her place probably 4-5 days a week anyways. I've already conceded the hair everywhere situation. Her hair is in everything, I just deal with it as it comes up. I don't mind cleaning the place. Her main excuse is that she has too much stuff for just her room and doesn't want to put it all in the shared space with her roommate. Luckily for me, I don't have a lot of stuff of my own to bring, most of which is book, video gaming stuff and clothing. I've already started going through my things to either Amazon or Goodwill it if I can't sell it.

I'm trying to convince her to give up her neighborhood in the city (we live around Washington DC) and pay less for a 2 bedroom in Alexandria than we would for a 1 bedroom in the neighborhoods in DC she would want to live in. That way there would be more room for her to store things (her clothes and massive shoe collection), as well as a guest room since her friends from all over tend to crash on her couch when they visit DC (in reality I want the second bedroom to store all my Lego's from my childhood as well as set up my tube TV and my NES and SNES while keeping the living room and our bedroom with our newer TVs we both own).

That moment when you realize the user's PC is not turning on because they are hitting the dvd eject button instead of the power button.

This is the bullshit i deal with every day.

At this point I've learned to chalk stuff up like that as easy money.
I mean, its stupid as all hell but just... don't think about that part.

I ask people every day what their initials are, I'd say only about 20/100 people are able to answer this question alone.

Some people will ask "What are initials?", so I explain, it's the first letter of your first name, and the first letter of your last name, to which of the 80 people left, a good 50 of them just start spelling their name out for me...........

This reminds me so much of my job. I have to ask, "What days would you like the rental for?" More times than not I have to ask the question another three to four times before people will tell me the days they want the rental for.

Build shelves and display that shit across the apartment. That's what my wife and I do.

if she has too much stuff, tell her to get rid of some of it. only fair if you're doing the same. makes moves easier too when you get rid of excess junk

good luck with the move. gf moved in with me about a month ago and we're still figuring out how/where to store all of our clothes

So had some random cold call to my work... they say they are for something something want to enter me in some drawing. Already kind of fishy but then start asking a ton of personal info questions so yeah not interested and I got a lot of work to catch up on so bye. But she keeps going no it wont take long blah blah. Eventually she's starts copping an attitude saying fine I don't care. I'm like then don't cold call people bitch

[Melena]

Trying to nuke these hard drives for all the old laptops I replaced before sending them off to county salvage. One of them, I can't remove the drive from it's carriage due to the screws being stripped, so I downloaded Boot 'N Nuke. Turns out the fucking laptop has a bios password and no one knows what it is and boot from USB/CD Rom is disabled.

This has happened to me a few times. Here's my usual response.

Me: So what are you up to right now? Just working away?

Them: (usually) Yes

Me: That's weird, I'm trying to do the same but some idiot is calling me in the office. Weird right?

What kind of tools you got? When we come across stuff like that if we are playing nice we might drill the screws out. But generally we like destroying things so hammers and large screwdrivers often get used to brute force them out. Laptops usually pretty easy to do that with carriages for desktops can require a tad more force

I had a similar problem come up recently. One of my endusers had the battery explode in their macbook pro which tweaked the whole case. I had to pull the HD out to try to recover the data because obviously the laptop was completely dead. Problem was that the pressure created from the battery pushing out on the case caused so much tension I couldn't get the set screws out to pull off the bottom cover. I was able to get a couple screws out then I took a crowbar to the bottom to bend the case open and pull out the HD.

In the end I was able to get the HD out and save the data off it.

[Melena]

Yeah, I finally got around it by removing the bios battery, let it sit for an hour and it forgot it's password. Yay for IT security.

When I was with the sheriff's office, we just had EOD melt the drives when they did their monthly training.

[Arkanna]

I usually save them up and take a box of 50+ drives to my buddy's hunting cabin. He has a nice .50 caliber rifle with a sweet scope on it, does the trick proper.

Starve them out. I like it.

OH man that sounds like fun. We end up throwing them thru a bing shredder. Well usually just inside since deres money to be made recycling the parts

Waiting at the bmw dealership to get my car washed, asked the parts dude about snow tires for my x4 because I might move back to Wyoming next fall and his suggestion was to buy a beater pick up truck for the winter

Those X4's are strange looking. It's got a good AWD system though, that guy is in idiot.
