Random Fail: First World Problems

Alarm set to go off at 7:30, jager decides that 5:45 is a proper time to play with the blinds. Get him out of the room and shut the door and he starts clawing at it while howling.

Here's a sensible solution:

water bottle. edit: bah, zet beat me to it. with pictures even.


anyway i'm feeling loads better. inflammation way down, lymph nodes almost normal size, dry throat not drying nearly as fast, finally getting some drip down the back of my throat like i would normally expect from allergies. so i think that's what this was. a very strange, severe allergic reaction, perhaps augmented by crohn's symptoms. i slept a solid 8 hours and my throat doesn't hurt like a bitch this morning.


still gonna call the clinic, but not in a super rush.

new FWP: all that tea i was drinking? caffeinated. i was so caught up trying to alleviate the throat symptoms i forgot to check. i drank like 10 cups yesterday alone. stopped once i remembered to check, so maybe that's why i slept so long. crashed hard. hah. so yeah, guts are pretty upset right now, but that's an old, familiar kind of pain and doesn't scare me.

The lesson here is to drink more water and to throw the water bottle at the cat after your done hydrating.

Two birds with one stone. What a day.

I fucking hate the County's IT department sometimes. Have a new employee who is coming from another agency. Told them I needed her account migrated to our domain/ad by end of day thursday as I was going to be out of the office friday and tuesday, and tuesday was her start day. Just got a call from my coworker saying she couldn't log in. Logged into our AD server and saw she still hasn't been moved and she's still active in the other agencies AD.

Doing bookkeeping has made it painfully clear just how retarded people can be. About half the employees we get can't see to understand that when you have a column for rate and amount that those 2 don't mean the same thing and to just repeat yourself. Or how you are supposed to add sub amounts to get total. Or just how to multiply by 10. Seriously people this is like 2-3 grade shit I'd expect a full grown adult to be able to figure it out right away instead I get people who can't even do it right after multiple explanations. You know what would learn them fast? Taking the amount they made a mistake by out of their pay but boss wont do that

Also just had a guy call in asking why we aren't there yet because it's already 1 pm when he admits knowing we told him 12-2... we aren't there yet because it's still in the 2 hour window you know about idiot

I'm training a guy that doesn't know the basic windows shortcuts. I’m talking copy, paste, print, undo.

[Roranora]

I am not a computer expert cause I can cut and paste with hotkeys; you're just an idiot whose mind is blown from alt+tab. I loathe those individuals.

Haha my boss is always amazed how fast I can do things because I use control letter to do things instead of right click scroll etc.

Cable company jacking with my bill/channels again, pretty much over it. Starting to look into just doing something like internet/chromecast/hulu. Suggestions?

Yay for having to give a witness statement due to a vehicle vs pedestrian incident

My friends were drinking here this weekend; something that used milk as a mixer and they ended up leaving a quarter gallon of milk in my fridge.

So I'm like "Okay I usually make my oatmeal with water, but I guess I'll use milk so this doesn't go to waste" The milk adds nearly 300 calories; and since I'm doing an exact calorie count, I have to jog an extra 1.5 miles to make up for it. Really? A mile and a half (according to online calories burned calculator) for a cup and a half of fucking milk? sheesh

Hopefully the oatmeal will taste better enough to be worth it lol. And at least I'll get vitamins and minerals from it.

Some random fails I see on an almost daily basis:

• People that tailgate semis, especially motorcyclists. Obviously they haven't seen enough Russian car crash videos.

• People that nearly run into walls/people while on their smartphones. They should have picture-in-picture cameras so they can at least see what's in front of them while they play Candy Crush Saga.

• In FF XIV, me being in such a hurry I press the wrong direction on my d-pad and send my retainer on a lvl 10 exploration venture and not the lvl 55 one I had intended.

• "There and back again" fails. I lose something and end up running all over Hell's half-acre to find it, only to find it was right in front of me at the start. Happens a lot more often than I'd like.

I tailgate semis if they are going too slow on 2 lane highways. Anyone who thinks a semis brakes are better than a well maintained sports car is pretty dumb.

Not sure what milk that is but assuming it's whole milk and similar nutrition to mine that amount of calories should end up including 16g of protein which I think was the main macro you were caring about. So assuming 93/7 that means you could cut about 100 calories of nasty ground turkey and maintain protein. Bam only need 1 mile run now. If it's reduced fat even better

[Cream Soda]

It's whole milk and I've met my protein requirements. I'm actually trying to get more fat into my diet since it's the lowest intake of my current macros and fats are just as necessary as carbs/proteins.

and even though the run negates the calories, I still get the nutrients and it still goes to strengthen my endurance and cardiovascular system, so it's not like I gain nothing from it

[dasva]

Swap some of the oats for milk? That's basically swapping carbs for fat.

[Cream Soda]

I only have 1 cup of oats as it is. It's not a lot lol.
