There is a Baywatch movie being made. Who on god’s green earth decided that this was necessary? Is there no more creativity in Hollywood?
Where the hell are my socks?
Even the stretchy ones.
Heh. I live on the fourth floor of a walkup. I do not test my trash bags. Not even a little bit!
I love you.
Our garbage goes to work with me, since I have a dumpster that costs the same each week whether it is half-full or overflowing. Anytime the bag is anywhere near full, I check the freezer for frozen garbage (things like chicken skin that would otherwise be stinky) and take the garbage to work.
But my gf’s one bad habit (her only negative, which highlights it all the more) is to put garbage in the bag regardless of how much is already there.
I’ve had catastrophic failures several times. Why is it always coffee grounds that spill?
OMFG, it’s STAT-UTE, you goddamn troglodytes. Not statue. There’s an extra T in the word you want. Put it in there. There’s no shortage of fucking T’s in the universe. Say it.
STAT-U T E.
Spell it.
STAT U T E.
I have to stop reading articles on Yahoo, and I REALLY have to stop ever reading the comments.
The local school administration has pissed me right off. The huge line of storms that killed and injured dozens in the southern US this week arrived in my back yard around 4 this morning. Torrential rains, lightning, tornado watch, etc. At 7am, I couldn’t see the road 100 feet from my front door. The rains cleared, and the wind picked up - I’m waiting for my little tree in the back yard to snap - sustained winds of ~ 30mph, gusts above 60. Power outages all over the county, including major roadways with non-operating traffic lights. And hundreds of miles of dirt roads throughout the county that are either mired messes or washed out.
The schools expected parents to put our children out on the roads today. Screw them. I will write notes for the absence that say that mine missed school because I’m not an idiot. Daycares were closed. Other businesses were closed. The county emergency management service was begging people to stay off the roads if possible. But our board of education thought that they made a perfectly reasonable choice, despite the fact that at least 3 of the county’s 17 schools were without power and running water for several hours today.
You know what I do when I see a Facebook post that bothers or upsets me? I click “Hide Post.” There. Gone. I would never dream of ripping a friend a new one for posting what are perfectly normal human feelings. You want to play the role of victim for the rest of your life that’s your business. I didn’t purposely “trigger” your “PTSD” so fuck right off.
and “viola” is a musical instrument for <your choice of deity>'s sake!
There are far too many people moaning these days about not getting “trigger warnings”. I’m sorry, welcome to the read world, not the cozy little blanket you live in.
Shitty ass night for a work emergency. Just got back for the eye doctor and have freaky pupils are no focusing muscles. Typing this at full arms length and can’t even read it that way , but am supposed to diagnose database issue?
fyck.
I’ll take “viola” over “wah lah”. At least with “viola” they’re close. :rolleyes:
No one is hiring casuals. :smack: I need a job (well technically I need some income) and it seems as though no matter where I look I’m not having luck. I’m not sure if its the time of year or just the availability of jobs for uni students in general but there seems to be a lot less out there than there was a few years ago.
I’m finally over the cold from hell. Now the Santa Ana winds are back and my allergies are on high alert. Not even one day to feel good. I’m on my 10th box of Kleenex. Come on, El Nino, you were supposed to give us lots of rain, what’s up with the dry 80 degree weather in February?
Ah-choo!
So, I thought that looked pretty cool. It was easy to find the cardboard for the bottom. Wire coat hangers were more of a challenge. Finally got everything needed together and assembled it. Lucky looked at it and then looked back at me like I was out of my mind.
I tried to gently push him in and it was all nuh-huh!
Gave up and took it to the rescue room, which is also the home of the neglected kitty toys. Steve and his kitten love their tent. Its not really big enough for 2 cats, so there are usually random cat parts sticking out, but they seem happy with it.
Thanks so much for the link!
Faruiza Give up. Seriously, just give up. My pet peeve is decimate, which means kill 1 out of 10. It doesn’t mean devastate, but seems to always be used in that context. The other one is penultimate, which means next to the last. I actually email authors who use that one correctly. Its a losing battle, you won’t win. Even if you manage to win one battle, the war is already lost. Runs off sobbing in defeat.
Well, now that other cats want it, Lucky may decide he does, too.
Cats are like that.
(You must be new at this cat thing. The rest of us would have known you couldn’t force Lucky to want to be in the tent. You cannot force a cat to do anything. You cannot force a cat to eat tuna!
You should have put the tent up on top of the most inaccessible shelf in a locked closet. Lucky would have taken possession within ten minutes.)
Utterly loathing the jerk who shares my living room wall. Their [bleeping] bass is clearly audible throughout my apartment. Sleep is not bloody likely (earplugs carry too high a “fail to hear the alarm” hazard and I start a new job TOMORROW).
So I’ve come back from a nearly 3 week holiday, to find that someone else has moved I to the house (not the person who the landlord said might be moving in) and we have no kitchen. It’s being redone, apparently, so all I have to cook with is a kettle, toaster and microwave. In a room that smells of cat piss 'cos my former housemate had a somewhat incontinent cat. I have no idea how long this is going to last, when I ask I just get a shrug and “It turned out to be a bigger job than planned”.
It wouldn’t have been so bad if he’d at least let me know. There was no reason why he couldn’t, he did message me on Facebook during the holiday. Coming back after a 34 hour 4 flights 3 trains epic journey to be welcomed by a total stranger and utter chaos is really not a good end to a trip.
I went to a new therapist yesterday and she treated me like a 10 year-old, a smart one but still.
Ford really needs to stop putting such shitty speakers in their pickups. This is the second Ford pickup I’ve had with shitty speakers.
