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

I hate YouTube's copyright claim algorithm. Over 50+ videos, and probably 30+ claims, 1 (ONE!) has been valid. I have disputed every single one (except the valid one), and all have been dropped due to inactivity from the claimant with again, 1 exception which actually dropped their claim upon review.

Now, I don't monitize my videos, because ew, but holy crap this would be utterly debilitating if I did. As it stands it's merely completely infuriating every single week.

And you're barely scratching the surface of how youtube completely neglects and fucks over its content creators. There's a reason the vast majority have just given up and changed their business model to patreon supporters instead of youtube ad revenue.

Welp. It's official: I'm a dummy. I should have checked halfway though the year if I'd have to repay any of my tax credit premiums for the health plan I purchased from the Healthcare Marketplace (by TRUMPtm). As such, an approximate $450 rebate is now a tax bill of $7,661. :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

I made the mistake of getting a bag of "gourmet" jelly beans without bothering to look at the flavors. What kind of psychopath thought buttered popcorn would be a good idea?

They've apparently been a thing with Jelly Belly since the late 80's. Somebody must like them.

No thanks.

Final results: grass is not my friend. Neither is ragweed.

And I'm kinda/kinda not allergic to cats. The scratch test didn't have any swelling, but the under-skin one did.

Oh, and I'm allergic to palm trees and mice.

Grass/trees/all sorts of pollen; animals of all kinds/especially horses (you'll know when I invade when you hear the constant sneezing); dust mites; feathers; mold (but not antibiotics); dairy; certain types of uncooked food.

I have a bored immune system that is trying to kill me.

Follow up. Step #1 of working in HR: Trust Nobody.

I had a meeting last week with the person I'll be working closely with. I was very up front about what I'd been told versus what she told me my job would be. Also, I let her know that even though I had some trepidation nobody but her would know and that my work would not suffer.

This afternoon I got a meeting request from the COO and my old boss to go over my roles and expectations. Which we'd already had. Which means that after my meeting with the girl in HR, she went & spilled the beans to someone else.

Guess I isolate myself and talk to nobody.

I've never had a bad interaction with HR, and my policy is always to treat them like they are there to benefit the company, never the employees.

And I do NOT let things fester. I was just in a meeting with her and I told her point blank about the next meeting I have, the focus of the meeting, and how the things I told her - and ONLY her - seem at this time to be the reason for the meeting. She says she didn't go talk to anyone but we'll see. I reiterated several times that she was the ONLY person I told of my worries since we would be working so closely.

Plot twist : "please keep this second meeting from your colleague. She's not aware, but you'll be replacing her and starting over because she's done a horrible job. You just have to learn from her for a few weeks to know what she put where"

So tonight, when dropping Hailey off at the end of our weekend visit, some really weird crap happened.

We pulled into the shopping center parking lot where the drop offs occur. Hailey said she needed the bathroom so I was going to park in front of the Starbucks and let her use the one in there.
As we park, another car pulls up right behind us and I can see two men staring at us from the front seat of the vehicle. I get a weird vibe from this and begin to pull forward and away from them.
They follow.
Eventually I drive out of the lot, down several blocks, through some side streets, and back all the way towards the shopping center.
These guys continue to follow us.
The next thing I do is pull into the parking lot of a local sheriff's station. The other car pulls up to the sidewalk next to the station.
I'm about to call the station when suddenly three police cars descend on us from the street and block me in the lot, lights a flashing.
I cooperate with their demands as they begin to question me and the other driver.
APPARENTLY.. the other driver noticed I had "a little girl strapped in the back seat" of my car and had called the cops. He continued to follow me to keep "tabs" on me for the police.
Which is technically true I suppose since my DAUGHTER was in her SEAT BELT in the BACK SEAT.
The police talked to Hailey and I and let us go since this was clearly a misunderstanding. Even let Hailey use the sheriff station bathroom and gave her a police sticker.
Still... what a weird night.

I love my wife, I really do. But sometimes she does the dumbest things and just plain won’t listen.

She’s been kept awake by the puppy lately. She wanted the puppy and she got one. So today in a fit of pique she bought a kennel. So now the puppy is in the crate and just barking and whining. Would my wife listen to a fucking thing I said about crate training a puppy? Nope. She seemed to think that it was going to be this instant thing. Now the puppy is going to view the crate as some sort of punishment and won’t ever use it, and NONE of us are going to sleep.

Just fucking stupid.

I was reading a porn comic I rather liked and it was going in interesting directions, and then the author obviously ran out of steam and abruptly ended the comic with something akin to "rocks fall, everyone dies".
