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

I would rather repeatedly bash my face into a brick wall than sit here forcing my son to do his science homework while he attempts to self harm because he doesn't feel like doing it. It's not even arduous. It's 5-10 minutes of work. *sigh*

It was my idea to make him start transitioning to doing SOME of his work at home again, but I'm already regretting it.
 
I just threw shoes on my feet without socks before running out this afternoon, forgetting it was gymnastics observation week, and we can't wear shoes in the gym. My feet are going to be so very cold for the next two hours.
 
So, as mentioned previously, I took Monday and Tuesday off this week. Tuesday was spent having a doctor rooting around in my nose and telling me that my sinus cavity's messed up, as well as welcoming my father in law to our place while he works on an art project. For the other three days, I had so much to do and kept getting new things to do that I barely got any time to myself or got to enjoy any gaming. I game for the immersion. Do you know how hard it is to get immersed when you're getting interrupted every ten minutes? And how hard it is to get that immersion back, only to be interrupted again ten minutes later? I might as well sit at work and just do a half-assed job on my cases for the day, that would probably be a more relaxing way to spend my time.

I had a four day weekend and it sucked.

Welcome to your Parent Life Preview. If you're not a fan, I suggest you keep a close eye on the expiration dates of your condoms.
 
Addendum: Also, the doctor rooting around my nose caused some minor bleeding (which is normal, nothing to worry about) so today I'm constantly exhaling little flakes of dried blood from my nostril. Which probably isn't sexy.
 
Addendum two: Also, the hot friend of my sister's me and my wife had dinner with on Monday night? Yeah, it turns out she's an almost exact carbon copy of my sister, in terms of appearance and mannerisms. Kinda creepy.[DOUBLEPOST=1445997446,1445997006][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh definitely not a fan. My desire to procreate is approximately as strong as my desire to voluntarily apply papercuts to my eyeballs.
 
I should clarify. I knew she was attractive before we had dinner, since I'd seen photos of her. It was only after interacting with her that I realized how much she resembled my sister. Which made it creepy.
Thus proving that dating sim and anime writers are almost certainly Only Children.

This is a straight up whine. Yesterday was my birthday, and no one called. Also, my wife tells me to take off work, so I do. She builds me up for this thing we're going to do for weeks. I'm excited. It was the dentist. I haven't made an appointment for a while, and she made one for me. That was her gift to me. It's like telling the kids you're going to Disney World, only to take them to the dentist. She says she tried to make a doctor's appt for me, too, and it's because she cares about me. I just went with it, but secretly... I mean am I wrong to feel a little disappointed? Then she tells me I can pick out a gift for myself. I don't want to do that, so I didn't.

Then we had cake, and my kids and wife excuse themselves, and I eat my cake all alone. Which was super depressing.

I don't exactly have the greatest history of birthdays. My parents never let me have a party as a kid because it was too much trouble. As a teenager, my dad told me "boys don't need that stuff", so we didn't really do anything. Facebook was the one bright spot. Lots of good wishes there.

Aww Fade :( You're not wrong to feel disappointed. That straight up sucks.

Jake had similar experiences with birthdays before we started going out. My family makes a big deal--maybe not big gifts, but they basically make a huge fuss over you for a week. Special breakfasts and dinners, stuff like that. Everyone deserves to be fussed over on their birthday!

Since this is a private school we don't have a huge substitute pool like public schools do. There are 4 people out today. We are fucking scrambling. I was extremely lucky to get this break. Too bad I'm using it to goof off and not grade papers........ eh, fuck it. Brain break.

Had I known it was your birthday I would have at least wished you a happy one. I'm sorry it sucked and you have every right to be disappointed.

Bit late, but happy birthday, @fade. And many many more!

Boy do I love beef jerky.

Boy do my teeth hate it. An hour with floss and pick and I'm still finding painful bits between my teeth.
 
So I've been on a few dating sites lately. And I swear, the number of women that either have facial piercings or do drugs has risen over the years.The piercings aren't so much a dealbreaker so much as just something I'm not attracted to, personally. Drugs (and smoking), on the other hand, are immediate dealbreakers.

Worse, there are many that list Drug Use as "No," but then mention they're 420-friendly in their profile. Um, no, that's drugs. Pot is drugs. You do drugs. List that you do drugs if you do drugs. It's not that hard.

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against people that do drugs. If that's how they want to have fun, go nuts. I'm all for legalization (and taxation). I just can't stand the smell of it or how people act when they're high.
Most piercings look like a bug to me and I have to do a double take. Especially plain round silver studs looks like either a tick or a very juicy blackhead at first glance.

Starting shit with my dumbass family on Facebook at 6:30 in the morning.

Why do I do these things? Why don't I delete the comment? Why don't I just leave them to their stupid ways? Why am I going to visit them in a month when I can't stand them half the time? Why the fuck?

Why not unfollow them so you don't see their statuses?

I learned to ignore all of my family's ridiculous FB statuses long ago. But I feel your pain on the visiting in a month thing. I think I whined about that over the summer. I wonder what random thing my mom will find to lecture me about this Thanksgiving. Oh well, at least they paid for the plane tickets.
 
Thank you yucky gross coworker who was sick and came in.

I was feeling rough last night and woke up in a miserable state. I had to go in for a bit because the only other employee who has access to the files needed to meet a deadline today called in sick to me earlier than I had a chance to.

Not that she likely would have gone in to help had I called in first...but at least she stayed home when sick.

Everyone knows that I have immune system issues. How dense can they be? If they have to come in ill, DO NOT ENTER MY OFFICE.

Facebook has a nice feature I call the "Thanksgiving Saver". You can hide all posts from a user. That way, they still see that they're your friend, and you don't have to deal with the whole "Why'd you unfriend me?!?" bit.

Yeah, I do this for 95% of my family... because 95% of them are Arch Conservative Catholics who are racist as fuck and are awaiting the Second Coming (like any of them would be saved). I love my family but I know that I wouldn't be seeing them again if they knew I was okay with THE GAYS, THE BLACKS, and THE MUSLIMS.
