We have auto mowers now? This technology exists? Lol

Yeah, pretty much roombas with whirling blades of death instead of brushes. Definitely not for all yards, though. Would like to get one because I fucking hate mowing, but our yard is split into two parts it'd be incapable of reaching without creating some kind of path under our wheelchair ramp, relatively uneven, and is taking some damage due to our main road collapsing/displacing existing soil.

I get there is always going to be "that one person" at the workplace. I was hoping to get lucky and that one person would be in a different department! Overall she's not a bad person from what I can tell so far. It's just that it's her world and we're living in it so to speak. I do feel positive that after I get more leads, more activity, and spread my wings a little I'll be too busy to even notice anything else. I'm highly considering bringing in my Corsair set from home and using that for my calls. Only thing is then no music. We'll see.

My wife recommended a book called 'The Body Keeps the Score' and by Bessel van der Kolk. She said it helped her understand her trauma from her last job. If you're looking for another resource.

that book has some good stuff; it was interesting how children in WW2 generally fared better mentally if they were with family members albeit near/in bombed cities rather than escaped to the countryside but surrounded by strangers

I absolutely will buy that. Thank you for the suggestion. Been needing to find something to do for my 1 hour lunches. I haven't had to take a proper lunch break at work for almost four years. It's so weird getting a real break.

Not my fail, but an unfortunate neighbors. Leaving our apartment complex this morning for work, found a fairly new Toyota Camry propped up on one side with a paint can missing tires and rims on one side, and the other side the tires and rims bent at a nasty 45 degree angle.

Lease is up in 7 weeks (Manhattan apartment) and my landlord hasn't sent the renewal yet. I've reach out to him and he said he's working on it. Good enough for me.

Wife won't get off my ass about harassing this guy for the paperwork.

I want it done too, but there's plenty of time left.

[Melena]

Yeah, not sure about NY laws, but in CA it's 30 days unless the rent increase is more than 10 or 15%, in which case it's 60 days notice.

[Tokitoki]

When my lease expired in the Bronx I never bothered the landlord because it would inevitably come with an increase. I was basically month to month for a few years at below "market value."

Returned something for my husband to amazon this morning (due June 13th).

He gave me the amazon link to print out the label and the drop off location. I boxed it, dropped off the kids, and went to the spot on the map. Row of USPS mail drop off boxes. Put it in, got in the car, pulled out of the parking lot, noticed that AROUND the corner on the actual street sidewalk there is a UPS drop off, and I'm like, "Fuck, was the label for USPS or UPS?"

Got home, sure enough it was a UPS label.

Now I gotta figure how to make sure it gets to UPS in time so it meets the June 13th deadline.

Pretty sure I just pulled a back muscle and I just got to the gym. I wanna leave but I don't wanna look like a bitch.

The US Open is in town this week where I live and the traffic is going to be fucking insane. I will be trapped at my house for the next week which works for me but it sucks for my wife since she has to drive past the golf course to get to work. They are estimating an extra 250,000 people will come into the area to visit for the open.

The only thing is that I take my mom into the hospital for chemo treatments on Fridays which means I will have to drive into the thick of it a week from today. Not looking forward to that since the hospital is right near the golf course.

So the other day, I heard some strange noises outside and go to find what I could only presume to be a junkie rummaging around our property. Tell 'em to put down what they've got and GTFO, but they decided it'd be more fun to come at me. On the plus side, it only took one body punch to send them running like a bitch. The fail is I fucking sprained my wrist/knuckles doing it and presently have no grip strength or the ability to rotate past a certain point. It's gotten better since, but still need to vent a bit since I can't really game or anything like this.

Usually better to work through it anyway unless it's getting worse. Don't favor it when you get home!

Yeah that's what I did and went light. Cut my set just two workouts short and did what I could.

I really should follow Saitama's training.

Nice. Do air deadlifts and stuff at home too even if it hurts and try to avoid walking around like an old person. You'll be back to normal in a few days. It used to take me 2 weeks+ to heal from back pulls before I got this advice...

Thought about going out tonight but it just happened to shake out that my rent, utilities, and Internet bill were all due on my current paycheck sooooo looks like I'm staying in tonight lulz

[Astylla]

Since I have an IUD I only get cramps and monthly issues about three times a year. Of course this is one of those times , while I'm at fucking work. Started yesterday at 4am and nothing over the counter helps my symptoms and it feels like someone is punching me over and over in my pelvic area. I wish I just had this ripped out years ago lol

Had issues falling asleep last night in part due to the heat and in part due to one of my cats kicking me off the side of my bed, so didn't fall asleep till after 5am. Woke up at 1:15 and now I'm rushing around to get everything done I need to today
