Random Fail: First World Problems

[Aksannyi]

Well I'm an awful person, so there's that.

[arus2001]

Yea well not much rhymes with Heather, so it was slim pickings for teasing nicknames when I was growing up

Resisting the urge to make a silly rhyme putdown just because I'd honestly be making fun of (then) kids.

[Blubbartron]

The Wedding Singer was such a great movie. My favorite part is the slow curtain close.

But heifer and Heather don't even rhyme...

If you're pronouncing it "hy-fur", then no it wont rhyme and sound awkward as fuck...think Hugh Hefner without the N, Heather Heffer, it rolls off the tongue better.

Luckily for me, The Wedding Singer came out in 1997 giving idiots everywhere a way to amuse themselves by calling me "Julia Goolia."

Julia ain't bad if you go by Julie or somethin

Well that is closer but I still wouldn't say rhyming. th and f too different imo.

Anyways fail today. Boss decided to update Microsoft office over the weekend. He doesn't understand you need to read instead of just clicking thru 20 times so I come back with 4 programs pinned and a bunch of broken shortcuts because he didn't update those. Also they changed all the colors randomly in calendar of outlook so fun times adjusting to that

One of my coworkers has a doctor diagnosed case of shingles but he doesn't plan to take off work while it clears up. WTF. And he asked me not to tell our bosses. Fuck that shit, I'm telling him the minute he walks in the door.

[Blubbartron]

Are you concerned he's going to spread it around or something? Cuz shingles isn't that contagious, especially if it's far enough along that he went to the doctor to see wtf the rash and pain was all about.

[dasva]

Clears up? You know that sometimes the only symptoms are pain and other nerve problems? Most people are gunna work thru that if possible and might be kind of difficult to even be sure you have it or it's gone. iirc the virus never really goes away either just goes dormant

[Vandalhart]

Is shingles the advanced version of chicken pox?

[Blubbartron]

Is shingles the advanced version of chicken pox?

Yes, it's what the chicken pox virus does after living inside you quietly for 40-50 years.

[kuronosan]

Is shingles the advanced version of chicken pox?

No, it's just what happens when you get old and your immune system sucks at controlling it.

[dasva]

God I hate my customers. Not open never have been on Mondays still had 5 people come in and they don't care and often know we closed.

Me: You know we are only open wed-sat right?

Senile old lady: Grins and says "yes I know"

2 minutes later

Senile old lady: Man you are busy today

Me: yeah especially considering we aren't open

Senile old lady: But I thought you were open on Tuesdays....

Me: We just talked about this a minute ago... and today is Monday.

Senile old lady Starts mumbling and staring off into space

Found out today that my first girlfriend's house burned down. She lost her 11 month old and 5 year old. Haven't talked to her in 20 years, but it's a weird punch in the gut. Was told by another friend I haven't talked to in 10 years.

[kuronosan]

That's not first world dude what the fuck

[Roranora]

Houses burn down all the time in the first world.

[kuronosan]

That's not what a first world problem is, but that wasn't really the point of what I said.

[Aksannyi]

Ugh, semantics aside, that is fucking awful. My heart goes out to her. I can't even imagine.
