Random Fail: First World Problems

[BaneTheBrawler]

Sorry for your loss, Sath.

Stupid top/bottom portions of LED on my fitness watch not really lighting up. Like if I look close I can still see the right spots being super dim but if I don't I have to decipher what it says based on the middle

I like this as a followup to Sath's post.

For the third straight night there's an alarm going off in the complex next to us. Started at ~2:30AM every night and same fucking wailing so I assume it's the same house especially since I've lived here for 3+ years and never once heard an alarm go off before.

Last 2 nights it has gone off for well over an hour. If it's the same tonight I am going to be really tempted to go find the house and do something I'll likely regret.

I need to know if you found a dead body.

[Astylla]

Sorry for your loss Sath.

I hate to post this shit too but got a text I've been dreading a long time from my oldest sister. My dads health mental at minimum is failing and while expected , I didn't expect to care this much frankly.

I'll probably be flying down in a week or two even if he doesn't want to see me or talk to me or he'll know who I am ..I can't regret not trying.

This is one of the hardest things I've had to suck up and deal with.

Grandmother died today. Just found out. Last immediate blood relative to me. Masters exam / talk is just under 24 hours from now and it is the week before finals and my job interview is Monday.

This really sucks. She was always exceptionally nice to me and she lived with us literally my whole life before I moved out. Spent more of my life with her than I did with my mom. But I just do not have the time or capacity to have any emotions about this right now, so I've just been sitting deadpan, eating popeyes, with a few mild expletives yelled out. I got the text while I was in a meeting with my adviser finalizing my talk and had to just roll with it, edits need to happen.

I'm sure it's going to hit me 1000x as hard when I finally get to dealing with what has happened, but fuck, right now it just needs to stay in a box and not come anywhere near the rest of my life.

As someone who's lost all his grandparents just hang in there and save the grief for afterwards. Make her proud.

[Brill Weave]

She would have wanted you to ace the fuck out of your exam dude, you can mourn later but for now go make her proud.

Seriously.

I understand what you are going through right now. It has been just over a month since my Grandmother passed. I am sorry for your loss. I agree with others, do your best to focus on getting your stuff done the best that you can and make her proud/do it in her honor.

So bachelor party update. The dude that didn't wants strippers and cancelled last minute. We paid for his limo since groom really want him there. Well him and his younger brother didn't drop any money for limo, drinks or food.

One of the brothers almost got into a scrap with one of our boi's. Wedding should be fun. My boi walked away since he is the larger man.

Fuckin cheap ass muthafyckers. And the excuse his, he has 3 kids and his wife is new to the wedding planning business. My buddy suggests her for my future wedding. I'm like. Fuckkkk that.

Ps. Stay strong sath. sorry for your loss.

[Airenn]

I'm sorry to hear that, Sath. You have all my hugs.

Someone on FB posted a link to this year's lobsterfest in LA. $12 entrance fee, $25 for a Maine lobster meal.

Those in the North East will understand why this is the biggest FWP for me.

Found out my dads condition is worse than expected and he's going into hospice. Trying to get to Florida by Friday if not earlier. I here at work waiting for my manager to come in so I can discuss it with her. I'm a fucking wreck even though I haven't spoken to him since my mom died 13 years ago .

[Tokitoki]

Doesn't matter if you got along with them or not.

Hope your manager understands and you can get down there.

I won't touch that conversation but let's just say I'm just trying to figure out logistics now to make this happen. If I don't at least try I don't know if I can live with myself.

Man woke up feeling like death. Can't tell if it was just a cold/flu or that and allergies kicking up... then start to ride to work and it starts pouring so fuck it call in sick. Come in around noon and still exhausted though

[Omnipotent]

Got engaged over the weekend, she said yes. (not the fail). The ring is 3 sizes to big though (I fucked up and used a crappy ring sizer)... and since it's platinum and has diamonds along the band they can't bring it down the sizes. They need to remake the ring for me as it was custom made and it will cost me another 1,000$ to remake the ring after I send it back and they recycle the diamonds/metal.

[Boyiee]

Should have used blue nile.

Ring don't fit? Return it for free get a different one.

I wish Blue Nile had a 3 stone setting with green stones for the 2 surrounds

[Boyiee]

Buddy refused to use it cause he wanted something similar with sapphires and had to get it custom made across the country. Spent at least 2000 more than he should have for the setting and diamond lol.

I loved picking the diamond first and going from there, felt more personalized and original.

My bank sends me an email informing me that they are sending me a new and more secure chipped debit card. That's great and all but now I have to go through all my recurring payments and change them because the new card has a different expiration date and security code. Meh.

4pm and just finally woke up and didn't immediately want to die. Went out about 8 last night with just a few people to celebrate Masters degree and we go to a place that closes at 10. Few margaritas and some tacos and we are all leaving at 1030, when me and two other guys who are leaving this semester and are my age (~30) decide to go across the street and keep drinking. All the girls leave and it turns into bronight.

Somehow around 1am we end up back at a bar closer to LSU and random people start buying me shots of whiskey in celebration. Bad. Bad bad bad bad bad.

Got home around 4am, tried to get up at 1030am to only miss 1 class and had to take a shower in the pitch black and decided I should not attempt to drive a car. Still feel like death 6 hours later, probably will feel like death until I go to sleep tonight.
