    I got all the way to work only to see nobody there. My boss sent a message 29 minutes after I’d left and I only saw it when I got there and pulled my phone out of my bag. The worst part is I walked 1/2 an hour to work in the snow. :/

    got a notification from Central Services that i had a package to pick up. i ordered some clothing and was looking forward to it.
    went in there today. completely closed.
    i sent an email to the dean of students and asked if it was going to be open. she said "yeah, it should be open now!"
    walked back there through a blizzard and found that it was still closed.
    i just wanted my clothing

    this was from Monday but a guy went out on the ice on sunday, and on monday my coworker was doing the old "don't let stupid people breed, they should have to pay if firefighters have to come rescue you from your own stupidity, why do we need rules against going out onto lake ice, people should Just Know not do do that and if they do it then if they die that's their fault"

    uuuruughgh thanks, mister smart man. i pointed out, like okay who's gonna write the regulations that say what Qualifies as Stupid Enough to require you to pay extra on top of your taxes paying for the fire service's budget? also you fuckhead, like who looks at other people and says "you should be allowed to die"?

    edit: sunday ice-man was okay, they went out and got him and brought him back in case he fell in, also you're not allowed out on the ice. he was just going for a walk and apparently thought he was good to just do that. this coworker also is the guy to go "well why do you NEED a STUDY to tell you not to text and drive? it's common sense duh!!!" like, fuck off we need studies to confirm that shit so you can't just go "it's common sense that i'm fine to drink and drive! i feel fine!" like, no you idiot, the study says you're statistically not

  5. I made one mistake by mentioning my mom to my boss. This resulted in my boss being upset with me, my mom being upset with me, AND wasting 20 minutes of time. I’m a fucking loser. I hate myself.

    The fact that cleaning my work laptop's fan would require COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLING IT, down to prying the keyboard off.

    A pipe burst outside my apartment door and I can’t get into the basement to shut the water off because the owner of the business out front parked a van so close to the doors I cant get them open.

    I was supposed to be done with a batch of prototypes yesterday and the engineers haven't gotten me the final models yet. Also it sounds like the bearings on the spindle motor of the CNC are going bad again like they did a year ago.

    It's budget season and my job requires me to follow what city council is doing, and this messes up my days off. At least they seem like they could be done earlier than last year.

    My husband is a sweet sweet man in many ways but he puts screw-on lids back on the containers just so, so tightly. Then when I'm like "I can't get this open" he uses his immense strength to open it easily and make a fool of me

    I am allergic to lions. There's a picture of me petting a lion cub with giant red blotches on my face. I had no way of knowing that until I came away from the cubs and my stepmum said, "oh my G-d your face!" and started daubing me with cortisone before I even could feel the rash. Allergies to animal dander are very common, but if you happen to be allergic to wild animals, you will probably not find out until you actually encounter their fur. They don't give you allergy tests at the doctor's for critters that you would not normally encounter close enough to touch because they're dangerous.

    My guess is that you are allergic to bears.

    "I'm allergic to lions" sure is a fun sentence :)

    I ignored the little voice that said "don't wear your favourite shoes to work" because the shoes I usually wear to work didn't match my outfit, and now the sole is coming off one of them. They have platforms, so I have taken a thumbtack and tacked the sole to the platform using my weight, but it's not a fix that will hold longer than it will take me to get home from work tonight.

    Do I take it to a cobbler in the vain hope that even though they're not leather and not expensive they will actually fix them?

    I've had so many SF cobblers sneer at me for asking them to fix lolita shoes. "These are cheap! You could buy another pair for what it will cost to fix!"

    Yes probably I could, but the Japanese department store I bought them at doesn't ship direct to America any more asshole. (RIP Nissen Global, you will be missed.)

    I know they're made of PU. But they're comfortable. They don't hurt my feet and they look really cool! And what the hell else am I supposed to wear with a pink pinup dress with cats on it?

    Or do I glue it back on with E-9000 (and would that even work)?

    as far as whether the glue would work, try consulting http://www.thistothat.com ? Not sure if itll actually last but it can tell you whether thats the right glue
