Random Fail: First World Problems

[Kalmado]

We adopted our Maine Coon when she was around 8 months old from the shelter. At around 2 we took in an old buddy's cat who was 4 ish (Russian Blue) because if we didn't he was going to drop it off at the shelter which possibly/probably meant death. Those two HATED each other and we were very worried. One day while we were taking a walk we found a Russian Blue baby girl on a city sidewalk without tags. She was terrified so we scooped her up and took her to the shelter. They said they couldn't take her but they would give her free spaying, shots, etc if we promised to take her in. After about two weeks of watching this little baby Blue terrorize the two older (and much bigger) cats we decided to give her away. Ever since, our coon and blue LOVE each other. How weird.

Wake up this morning to see the basement semi flooded. Roommate unplugged the sump pump for the winter and didn't let me know. Didn't get to do what I needed before starting work this evening but luckily my carpet cleaner sucks up water like a fiend and I have my moms dehumidifier with me so I got most of the water out before leaving and setting the dehumidifier to maximum.

New cat in the home still doesn't get along with our 12-year old cat who's been with us since she was a few months old. It's been two months now since we adopted her. New cat is a spaz and just absolutely annoys the shit out of our old cat. I feel terrible because one of the biggest reasons we got another cat was because our first cat was getting old, and we've read multiple articles in which a second cat helps them live longer. They're constantly fighting, our first cat who used to be evil as hell straight up goes OG on her.

Basically I'm asking is there light at the end of the tunnel for anyone with two cats from different eras? When things get bad we put the second cat back into her own room. Shit is just getting tiring after 2+ months and they're still not getting along. Water bottles thrown and all don't work. Second cat a special type of derp.

It can be rough. We adopted our black cat Jager in part due to Guinness getting fat cause Corona wouldn't play with her, she was pretty much her own kitty and would do her thing, so Guinness got lazy. Corona wound up attaching herself to Jager and raised him like he was her own, and Guinness wanted nothing to do with Jager. We have pictures of him laying against a box Guinness was in because he wanted to be close and she wanted nothing to do with the new furball we brought in. It's gotten better, but now that he's established himself as the Alpha, he likes to chase her around and "play" but she sometimes feels like she's being cornered and will let out these deep growls at him. I never knew a fat female cat could have such a low growl.

So I try to ride my bike like a reasonably sane person (minus the helmet) and more or less obey the traffic laws as they apply to me and still have cars almost hit me all the time. Meanwhile I see other people ride like complete morons and no justice smash.

For example today waiting at an intersection on a light. Instead of waiting behind me on in the actual lane this guy goes around the corner to wait for whatever reason I'm guessing so he can have a head start in the intersection... except of course there is a building right up to the sidewalk on this corner so going around like that makes you invisible to the people who might be turning that way. This is probably part of the reason there is no crosswalk on that corner. So this is a great way to get hit since both parties will go forward when the light turns green and not really see each other until they are about to collide.

But wait it gets better. Because this guy decides to start crossing the intersection while cars from the other side are still turning left, right where he is starting to ride. Dude no shit pedals right into the path of already moving cars actually trying to weave between them as they move. <.<. Which of course forces them to stop in the middle of the intersection blocking it all up so I can't go forward. Worst of all this guy was riding across slower than I walk which makes his choice of impatient idiocy even more puzzling as clearly the only hurry he is in is to die.

My older car never liked the kitten I brought home. That was over a decade ago. Old cat is at least two decades old. I think she's living just to spite the other one at this point....

I joke that corona is such a crotchety old woman that she will just refuse to die and outlive everyone.

I fucking hate stupid people. I just missed my train because some cuntbag moron decided to just block the door but not board the fucking train..WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.

FUCK.

Probably good to know she has time to search for something now.

Yeah for sure. Still stressful to deal with but at least it's some notice. I recall friends working for a restaurant chain in Michigan one day showed up to find it boarded up and sold overnight.

It is, but still sucks

Just had someone who is filling in an as an admin assistant ask how to send an e-mail to an already existing distribution group.

[Melena]

And to add to it she also didn't know how to add a shared calendar. Clicking add a calendar is some high tech shit in outlook.

Had someone who works from home for our company send me a screenshot from one of our online resources. He left some interesting tabs open on his browser in the screenshot considering it's in work hours on a company computer!

And this is why snipping tool is so much better than screenshots lol.

[dasva]

Clearly he opened those tabs earlier and is the kind of person to never close tabs...

Co-worker got fired today. I feel really bad for her. TBH, it was kinda "not working out" and I know she was looking elsewhere, but she's a single mom and there's about two months left of school. She wasn't doing anything that was bad regarding teaching, it was all adminstration/parents stuff. I could see them not renewing her contract, but to just cut her off when she has a kid to provide for was insanely cruel.

I mean, there is a flipside to that argument and you know it.

Not really, no. The kids are not any worse having her. In fact, she was one of the few teachers that are doing a great job connecting with the students.

This is not to say I don't know why it happened, I do. But just that it would have been the right to let her finish off the last two months. They didn't even give her a two weeks notice.
