Things that are currently annoying you

Ugh, something about Steam these days just destroys my internet speed

 

Spoiler: probably TMI (bathroom stuff)

Somehow, my hemorrhoids started acting up and later in the same day I got mild diarrhea. Thankfully I had gotten some hemorrhoid treatment stuff before the diarrhea started, but still. >_<

 

My cats not using the new cat tree

 

Can firefox just fucking work please

 

There is an Autism Speaks ad on the block right around the corner from where I live. Which means I am almost guaranteed to see it at least once on any day I go outside. Grrr.

 

A good friend of mine seems to be quite blind to the fact that they are SIGNIFICANTLY not blameless in their current life issues. -_-

 

Spoiler: slightly gross

there is a weirdly placed pimple on my earlobe, and I can FEEL it if I roll my earlobe in my fingers, a little hard painful sphere, and I'm irrationally terrified that like. it's infected and it's gonna POISON MY BRAIN AND KILL ME.

 

i'm stuck in an infinite loop of drinking coffee and then peeing. my bladder is microscopic and my desk is situated next to an extremely tempting latte machine.

 

That's likely a sebacious cyst rather than a pimple. They're harmless and usually go away on their own. If it doesn't go away in a few days, or if it becomes very painful or starts draining fluid, that's when to think about going to a doctor.

Protip: Don't stab it with a needle. It doesn't work and you will have hurty bleedy ears for a week.

 

Fuuuuuuck. Our data tech got semi-badly hurt in a stupid accident that happened because apparently nobody maintains these fucking runways. She's being sent home tomorrow. I'm sad for her because she's in pain and she really didn't want to go home. I'm also sad for me because I have inherited her work, which is going to cost me a lot of sleep.

 

The QHI disclaimer form thing is ridiculously complex, in addition to basically saying "We can do anything and you can't sue us".

 

good news: ear bump size is way down, and it doesn't hurt at all when I pinch it. probably-fine-but-I'm-still-gonna-worry news: now a lymph node is swollen instead? it doesn't hurt, it's not very swollen, it's almost certainly normal. and I have some knowledge of how the lymphatic system works, and it makes /sense/ that this is happening. but that isn't gonna stop me from worrying at this under-ear-behind-jawline bump. : |

 

day four. still fired. still being a baby about it. It's become abundantly clear that I can't handle myself when left to my own devices. I need a schedule, and I need other people to give me goals, and I need to be working, goddammit. I'm so bored and listless and I hate it. It's only been four days. It took me months to find my last job. And I hate having to search for not welding jobs because it makes me feel like paying for school was a waste of damn time. guhh. Gonna bookmark the thing that says it'll pay me to be trained to be a long haul trucker. Turn 21 in a few months. Can apply then. FUck it, I can be a fickle fuck, I don;t give a shit. I'll long haul truck. fuck you. fuck me. fuck a truck right in the tailpipe. gripe gripe, huff.

Plan: gonna see about local volunteering opportunities. there's gotta be something I can do to burn hours.

 

That fact that I was reading some delightfully smutty stuff and that the stupid website stopped working in the middle of it :(

 

pretty much all the hamilton lyric videos on youtube have vanished

Customer sends art in the form of a small, grainy .jpg and... an .eps! hooray for vector artwork!

I open the .eps in Illustrator.

It's the shit .jpg pasted into an Illustrator file and saved as EPS.

For those of you playing at home, pasting a small, grainy .jpg into an Illustrator file and saving it as EPS does not magically turn it into a vector file.

Customer wants the logo bigger. I explain the logo situation and tell her I will need a bigger clearer one, or we'll have to charge her for me to spend an hour or more redrawing it.

Customer does not want to pay more. Tells me she will download the .eps from "corporate" again. I tell her that will not help, if it's just the same file.

Customer is silent for a moment, then tells me the IT guy did some stuff and updated some stuff and she is certain that is how a small grainy raster file got saved as an EPS.

I tell her it doesn't work that way.

She just sent another .eps.

IT'S THE SAME SHIT JPG PASTED INTO AN ILLUSTRATOR FILE AND SAVED AS EPS

brb liquor store

 

New-to-us Manager (who is charismatic and good at scheduling) got promoted, so he's leaving the store.

This means Old Manager (who got transferred out because she's incapable of compromising with the other managers, and is AWFUL at scheduling) is coming back.

Goodbye, any semblance of routine. I'll miss you.

 

I HAVE A HEADACHE AND EVERYTHING SEEMS VERY BRIGHT AND LOUD.

 

Pretty big parts of me are very cold, and that is not fun :-(
