Giving a "legally blind" brofist. Though, we'd probably miss.
UGH-just answer your fucking surveys so I can figure out what to send you! I wouldn't be so annoyed if not for the fact that four of them ARE MY FAMILY MEMBERS! That's a reason to be annoyed right?! When your family ignores your kickstarter survey?
Yeah, I contact them once outside of kickstarter (in case their email is killing kickstarter emails) and keep their reward for awhile in case they contact me, but if they aren't responding they're not getting it.
I found out later that a number of supporters just supported for the cause I was involved in, and didn't realize they could choose no reward. If I ever do another one with a cause attached to it, I'll have a reward tier that doesn't have any physical rewards just to provide people like that an option to support without having to go back and do a survey later or wonder what they're going to do with the stuff I'm rewarding people with.
Was I bad influence lol?

No. I was wired. The only reason I got off D3 was because of the clock. Then I got in bed, tossed for a while, got on my iPad for a while, then finally was able to sleep. Like at 2:30 or so. I wake up at 6.
I know your pain. I slept 01h30-04h45 today. Lovely early morning shifts coming off evening duty.
Recent studies suggest that using tv, video games, or smartphones/tablets before bed can lead to insomnia. Maybe that was the main problem?

Nah. I was in bed long enough that I should have been asleep. So I got back up again so I didn't bother the wife.
Diablo-ing makes me tired!

They're gonna let go Underling #2. 
"She was always just supposed to be temporary help to get caught up"
Never mind that we were falling farther behind before her, and once she's gone, we'll start falling behind again. But hey, reducing part time headcount is how we succeed, right?! Glad we put all this time and effort into training her how to do stuff, now that we're just going to lay her off 4 months later!
Gah. Fuckin bullshit.

You didn't want to work normal human hours anyways, right?They're gonna let go Underling #2.

Was this the hot one that was flirting with you? Because hey... there's no conflict of interest in trying to hit that, now.
Always looking on the bright side, aren't you?

No, that's underling #1, heh.

I think I would quit. Underling #1 is who I've basically trained to be the new traffic director. I've had to do that 6 times or so now, over the last 13 years. If I had to do it again so soon... I think I'd rather live under a bridge.
"Don't go near that underbridge, Sally. There's a guy there who'll teach you how to be a traffic director."

Kati lost the pull to the zipper on one of her boots a while back, meaning she has to use a pair of pliers to zip up the side.
She ordered (and got) a replacement zipper pull the other day. Yay!
She lost it in the snow two days later walking our son to school.
I found it the following day while walking our son to school.
She lost it again this morning while walking our son to school.
She found it on the way back from the school.
Because she was looking for the zipper pull, she also found a $20 bill that someone else lost in the snow.
She already told me I won't be getting any of it.

You need to start charging her a zipper repair fee.
It closes into the zipper like tongs and then clips together. Enough shaking can cause it to open back up, though, and then it falls off.
@GasBandit - She was going to search for my heat shrink tubing to keep it from reopening, but now that she's rich she can buy her own.
@stienman - Have you not been to the What's For Dinner thread?

Typically, no, but I do recall that my stalking of you last year led me to get a cookbook for her, so I suppose I did know that she is a proficient cook. Apparently I filed the microwave tray information in a more accessible spot than the cooking information.
You might want to, though. I'm sure your family would enjoy eating something else than just those same five fish and two loaves every day.
I wish that pro-Diablo playing or photography could be a legit career for me.
I wish pointing out others' mistakes and being an overall grumpy old man could be a lucrative career. I'd be rich and grumpy.
Public School Teachers are paid decently now...
So my sleep habits have been a pile of shit for the last few weeks, not at all helped by the fact that I'm home alone during the day and there is nothing stopping me from going back to sleep for hours after my kids go to school even though there are other things I should be doing.
Yesterday I woke up at 7:30am, and didn't feel the urge to take a nap at all. Success! I started feeling sleepy around 8, so I figured that if I laid in bed instead of keeping myself up I'd have a better chance of falling asleep at a reasonable hour and hopefully make strides towards fixing my sleep pattern.
Nope, didn't fall asleep until 2:30am. FML
