Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

The only time I've heard the term "flocking" is the process the Muppet builders use to give a certain texture to the fabric by conducting an electrical charge through it.
Kati used to do this for a living. Except in her case, it was flocking the interior of Cadillac glove compartments.

Whiny FWP whine: I have too many hobbies, but I don't want to give any of them up.

I have martial arts, my webcomic, photography, trying to write a novel, electronics, I have some personal programming projects outside of work... I feel like I should give up on something. I'm just waiting for the day I assume the mantle of the Bat, so I can become Batman. With a webcomic.

I read that as "pornography" and nearly fell out of my chair.

Psh, that's not a hobby, that's a requirement.[DOUBLEPOST=1417713326,1417713290][/DOUBLEPOST]Anyway, my turn to whine.

This may be the worst breakfast burrito I've ever had.
I'm pretty sure I just ate a raw potato.
 
To borrow a quote from Batman "If I had a week I couldn't list all the things wrong with what you just said."

Oh my head hurts from the stupid. Person with perhaps the flimsiest grasp of basic monetary interactions imaginable just explained cost accounting for ten minutes.....
 
Getting over the worst of a cold, it feels so weird since I think this is the first real cold I've had in years. Its also messed up my sleep schedule to all fuck, and considering I am the WORST sleeper that's saying something.
 
"It's okay, Josh. Go ahead and shake them all instead of mixing each well individually. It'll save you like fifteen minutes, you'll be able to head home early, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand you just cross-contaminated your samples and it's going to be ten hours of work to replicate them."

Fuck.
 
My younger brother lost his job and his girlfriend (around the same time, because you know, lucky) and therefore, also lost his home, so he's being staying on my couch for the last couple of weeks until he finds something or we can set something up a little more permanent. I love my brother but he's literally the stinkiest person alive at the best of times (king of foot odour) and he makes the little time I have to be intimate (not just sexually) with my girlfriend awkward at best. I'm there for him, but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck man. Tis the season.

Need me to go school him?
 
I'm not interested in going to the doctor. They'll just say, "Yep, keep taking the steroids and guaifenesin you started days ago, and use the albuterol as needed. If it doesn't get better in two weeks, well, you've passed your DNA along in the genetic pool enough and it's time to give others a chance to perpetuate the species anyway."

Well, at least it's not the stomach flu. I'd still rather have chest congestion for weeks than a few days of stomach flu.

I just don't like the jittery feeling albuterol gives me.

I'm sure I'll feel better if this posts gets lots of hug and funny ratings though. :whistling:
I'm sorry to hear that. Heal quickly!

Had a veteran's charity call the other day. "So how much of my donation goes to veteran programs?"

"Sir, I am required by law to tell you that no less than 7% of every dollar we receive goes to veterans."

"Well, good luck with your other calls."

It still astounds me how many supposed charities there are prying people from money and keeping the vast majority of it for profit. I was thinking that they'd at least give over 10%, but 7%? So little?
Just like your debt collector question, assuming it's a legitimate charity. :(

My kids' ice skating coaches were good enough to have their own Wikipedia pages. My college fencing coach was an Olympian. Neither were expensive. Kind of makes me sad. These people gave their all for their national teams and they end up giving cheap lessons in obscurity.

It shouldn't be all that surprising. It's ultimately the same for pretty much anyone we send to a foreign land in our country's name.

Oh, hello, crushing depression, I see you've stopped by for a visit. Please do come in and have a seat.

And you've brought baggage, which means you plan on staying for a couple of days. Marvelous!

The albuterol use is just for while you're sick, right?
 
Just found out that, after receiving official wifey sanction to attend it... I will probably NEVER be able to attend the local large-scale SCA war down here... Gulf Wars happens around St. Pat's, which no officer on my department can EVER have off.

God. DAMMIT.

I would find it amusing if, rather than the stuff in that other thread, it was something like this that ultimately made you decide to switch careers.

Would you believe that the thought had crossed my mind? *chuckles wryly*

It may turn out better than expected, though... she just sanctioned a trip to Pennsic.... I don't think she quite understands possible ramifications of that...
 
Had a small cold that I fought off a over a week ago. Wasn't hard..... but you know those colds that don't fucking go AWAY???

You know the ones that give you post-nasal drop and your fucking nose won't stop leaking into your throat?

At this point I'd rather be bed ridden for 2-3 days than the 10+ days of this BULLSHIT.
