    Phone: hey we're running out of space, how about you delete some apps? What about these ones?
    Me: I actually use all the things I've downloaded, what if we get rid of the things I haven't used since they came preinstalled five years ago?
    Phone: N O. BAD. BAD IDEA. YOU STOP THAT.

    And apparently limping around town with said giant blister has wrecked my knees too. Not surprised; trying to walk on tiptoe on one foot is really uncomfortable.

    finally emailed work people about standardizing how they write certain things. Don't make me go in and edit every single one of these items! Just format them the same way so that the system will sort them in order!

    We are expected to share our work when necessary, you really can't just do things your own way

    At least theres a new higher up who i infer will spend some time on standardizing stuff

    Edit: and by different ways i mean, i look at the title of the thing and i can tell immediately who wrote it because oh yeah, Dude A uses hyphens instead of brackets (which throws off the sorting) and Dude B puts something I want to be at the front of the title, at the end of it and then throws an exclamation point in for flavour

    My brother texted me out of the blue, asking if Matesprit had ever considered enlisting in the navy or air force as an officer. And wouldn't drop it for a while. On the one hand, I know he means well and just wants to share his interest and make sure people he likes know about Cool Opportunities...on the other hand, I cannot think of anything that would have made him seriously think Matesprit would be interested in military service.

    I had to cut it off with "it's nice that you're thinking about us and that you want to let people you care about know about opportunities, but Matesprit isn't interested. pay scale aside, military service would still require mandatory pants" because he tried arguing 'did you ask the recruiter about paygrade' when I explained that it would be a massive cut in pay from what Matesprit currently does.

    me, asking a support group full of people who need to wear compression gear how to adjust mine bc i realized the foot portion is WAY too long and perhaps the only way i can finally get some goddamn use out of these is to trim the fucky foot part but i don't want to like. destroy them. bc im getting no use out of them rn anyway and idk when i can afford to get any that'll work for me so im trying to Make Do. they roll and pinch and hurt but i think its bc they're up way too high to be sustainable, esp on my booty.

    the reply i get: wear a garter belt with it 8))) and buy petite next time.

    me, a 5'9 fat person w/ long ass legs and wide thighs who hasn't worn petite anything since gradeschool: AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHADIDYOUEVENREADWHATIASKED

    the fact that discord has a limit to how many times you can change your avatar in a small amount of time is honestly the dumbest thing ever. I have to adjust the icon for size+position so it looks nice in the circle slot and this isn't helping, dammit!!!

    D: that sucks

    i've read not to cut them because it will fuck up the compression, but i'm not sure if you could maybe call a tailor and ask about shortening the foot. I have no clue if tailors deal with compression gear or stockings?

    This link just says like, "no do not alter them" so idek

    Edit: i put a vent here instead of a simple annoyance so uh

    I'm annoyed because it's been busy today, i know my work can require me to do shit at any time including my time off but i'm annoyed that i had to make a post to the website from the change room while trying on pants yesterday

    I mean it was legitimately something that needed to be done asap but still

    I'm procrastinating, i have an hour of work to do in 40 minutes left of my shift and then i want to go to the craft show before d&d so i should stop posting

    They're super expensive
    Do you have a seam ripper? because that would fix all of that shit. it cuts threads one at a time, and if you cut enough threads, you can pick the rest out with your fingers, and all the itchy bullshit is gone.

    @cleverThylacine That might work, except also, it fucked up the actual back of the shirt, too. Look at this:

    I don’t know how this happened. It’s almost like they sewed that shit in before they dyed it. ... maybe before distressing it, or something?

    Anyway, we weren’t shopping for me today, so I just took some irritated snaps and moved on. (Short-notice shopping trip. I need a little time to psych myself up before I can do the strange-clothes-in-unfamiliar-places thing.)

    They probably did sew it in first? I have long hair, so that wouldn't fuss me, because nobody'd ever see it, but it does show poor planning on the manufacturer's part.

    smh

    Very loud complaining from husband about how it's too hot to do ironing and his clothes are all creased and the iron isn't working properly (it is, he just doesn't understand it)

    Jog on son, if you think I'm going to do it for you. You were the one who decided to do your laundry and then turn the dry cycle off and let it sit for hours while you played games and ate pizza

    Why is it so hard to apply a frigging screen protector to a phone? I'm not sure if I've messed something up or misunderstood the instructions or what, but the thing I have attached to the phone right now is blue and still has the alignment tabs attached. And when I try to pull the tabs away, the whole thing starts to come with it. idek what to do, asides from go 'fuck it' and have it done properly at a store.

    My mom's parents are coming to visit today. The grandparents that absolutely refused to attend or acknowledge my sister's marriage to her wife. =.=
    This is going to be. An interesting time.
