Title: First world problems
Post by: Institutional Control on April 30, 2013, 07:08:43 AM
Turned the auto sprinklers on yesterday but didn't check all the heads.   Was awoken at 3 a.m. this morning to the loud spraying of water onto my bedroom window.  Had to go to the garage and turn off the sprinklers. Took me at least 5 minutes to get back to sleep.

And, to make things worse. The irrigation dude won't be able to come out until Friday.

I have people that turn mine off and on for me each year and make sure all that is working properly. I suggest you do that.

There's a guy who hangs out in our parking lot who mumbles at people as they walk to their car.  He chases birds.  It's kinda uncomfortable so we pretend to talk to each other when he's out there, and avoid flashing any expensive smartphones.   :ohno:

One of the DirectTV client receivers went off network with the DirectTV Genie last night for about 1 minute, don't know why, but it messed up my watching of Sunday night's Mad Men episode for about 1 minute.  A little  :curse: I must say.

I had to move out of my house this week while the hardwood floors are being refinished due to an upstairs toilet in one of my five bathrooms overflowing. The extended stay place where we're staying only has a 42" LCD, no DVR, and only one channel of HBO.

I find a great way to start the day is with two orders of Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis, a Plain Biscuit (buttered) and a Cinnamon Cluster.  Also a 100% Colombian Coffee.  I can't not dominate life when I'm hopped up on all that go fuel.  Should probably just make that a meal deal and call it the Life Dominator Meal Combo.

my Life Dominator Meal Combo includes a spicy chicken breakfast burrito + 2 jalapeno salsas, an order of hash browns, and a powerade.  i didn't realize you could order a plain buttered biscuit, i feel like a complete n00b dumbass.

chick-fil-a: 1
clams:  0

look for this score to be tied up soon and pretty soon after that i will take the lead and then just basically always score a point and they will never score another point on me.

I would give chick-fil-a 1 point for every time you have eaten there and did not realize you could order the plain buttered biscuit. It's probably going to take you a while to tie the score.

Well, 99% chance it's either the truck driver's fault or some other dumb crap. I rough ridin' hate sitting in traffic because of some other bad person's ineptitude. Don't waste my time.

Anyway, back to topic, I'm 10 pounds overweight because food is so damned plentiful and cheap. I'm thinking about paying a gym a bunch of money so I can get some exercise.

I get baseballs hit into part of my back yard all the rough ridin' time, because there is a baseball practice area across the street.

Last week, when my mower guy was mowing my lawn, his mower launched one of those baseballs at super sonic speed, and it blew a hole THROUGH my privacy fence and directly through my neighbor's window.

On the upside, I get loads of free baseballs.

He would take them up on that, sure, but he still wouldn't win, and then he would just think they rigged it again. It's better to just give him the Kinect, and 10 free attempts at the game for when the carnival comes back to his town.

so yesterday we got to the airport and found out our flight to Houston (free of course) was delayed for maintenance and we only had and hour and a half layover before our flight to cabo (again...obviously free). the lady at the counter said if we didn't make it we would have to be rerouted through Mexico city or the next day which means we would miss one night at the hotel (you guessed it...free). super stressful, right? so they got the plane fixed and we were about 45 minutes late. so we board this canadair regional and a bunch of dumbasses decide to try and carry on their max sized carry-ons (sd :shakesfist: ) that already have the green tag on them. the dumbass attendant lets them pass right by without saying anything so of course they get halfway through the plane before the choruses of "herp derp oh oops this isn't going to fit herp derp" start to echo throughout the plane.  then the mouthbreathers stand there looking back at the door trying figure out how to get their bag back to the front through all the people. probably cost us another 10 minutes. anyway, everything worked out and we made our connection but we had to rush through iah faster than I would've liked.

With reference to Canada and Mexico in your post, I am not sure this even qualifies here.   :dunno:

I get baseballs hit into part of my back yard all the rough ridin' time, because there is a baseball practice area across the street.

Last week, when my mower guy was mowing my lawn, his mower launched one of those baseballs at super sonic speed, and it blew a hole THROUGH my privacy fence and directly through my neighbor's window.
On the upside, I get loads of free baseballs.
Holy Moly  :surprised:

I've gone right before ours go in there out of spite.  They couldn't be more in the way if that was their sole function.  They are also bad at cleaning.  Sometimes they'll start cleaning something and then apparently wander off leaving their cart in front of the area they were cleaning messing up everybody's flow.  I also use that as a target for dump selection.  I hone in on the abandoned cart.  I'm like the batman of the office, but with dumps and against the cleaning ladies.

This is what I figured. My '09 iMac was like the last computer Apple ever made that did not include wireless mouse/keyboard. I bought both last year during a NFM spree, and man, what a fantastic difference. I usually just leave my iMac hooked up to my 50", so it's nice to sit back and use the keyboard/mouse while layin down some fat jams on G'band, or bbs'n with spotify in the background, all while sittin on the couch. #FWP averted

This exact same thing happened to me the last time I tried to renew my license. I waited in line for almost an hour, then was told they couldn't accept credit/debit.

I don't even have my debit card pin number that would allow me to use my ATM.  I haven't used an ATM since Bush was in office.  I mean this is freaking 2013 and the DMV isn't some undocumented laborer fixing my gutters. 

I am just going to never renew my DL and if I ever get caught, I am going to take the day off work, go to court, and put the whole god damn system on trial!

LOL, it sounds like you are either going to have to take a step back into the 20th century and either write a check or visit a bank. :lol:

One time I had my license suspended because I mailed in personal check for a ticket.  Clerk chucked it, case was still on the docket, I didn't show because I PAID THE rough ridin' TICKET, got issued a bench warrant.  Mother eff.  Had to mail a rough ridin' money order.  Anyway I went to switch insurance companies (consolidate everything) and they wouldn't take me because my license had been suspended in the last 36 months.  Mother eff!

Anyway, that's a first world problem if I've ever heard/told one.

The work itself is great. And you can convince yourself of quirky charms about the city (until you visit a real city again). Plus, if we put our time in here, we're prioritized for places like Paris, London, Vienna, etc.

Although I'll admit it's not really fair to compare Cairo (or many other locales) to the French Riviera. My god, Monaco. I mean, what is that I don't even.

Yeah, but would you live in Cairo for 3-4 years?

There should be other measurables.  Like, live in Cairo for 3 yrs, or be stabbed twice, or have your embassy stormed once, etc. 

Meet one, not all, and you are prioritized for Tier one properties.  Meet two or more, and you get a raise!

Not fat, just unusual body shape. Considering how much power lifts I do as my exercise routine, it really doesn't make sense to have a 30 inch waist.  Imagine if a frog stood up and put pants on.

can confirm doctors still use pagers.  apparently they have a stronger signal than cell phones and are more reliable.

Hospitals also still have outdated policy's about cellphones effecting their equipment (like planes).

Lol.  Also, the youtube Verizon commercial that came on better the vid was a serious version of the youtube.  "I chose Verizon because, I couldn't stream vids, was tired of my friends phone being cooler than mine,etc."

if you have someplace to install it, you should consider an electic Point of Use water heater instead.   It will only use power when demand requires it, instead of constantly recirculating which needs not only power to the pump, but also increases heating costs.

Pump power is like 15 watts.  I'll do some sort of demand type control so it only delivers hot water when I want/need it.

One of our sprinkler system heads is broken.  There's a small section of my yard that does not have luscious green grass right now...and the lawn care company can't get out here until Tuesday.

It sounds like you might just have to roll up your sleeves, drive your forklift out there, and fix this one yourself if you don't want an ugly dead spot in your yard for the rest of the year.

Correct on the eastern Europe part.

Quick history lesson-

The term 1/2/3 World countries came about during the cold war. The first world was USA and all their allies, the second world was the USSR and all the soviet bloc aligned countries.

The third world was all the other countries that weren't strongly aligned with either the USA or USSR, think Africa/south America/southeast asia.

An escalator seems weird in an office setting.  Just stick with elevator and stairs.

go to 24hour grocery store... wander around for 20 minutes deciding what i want... pick up some hamburger and buns... costs twice what i would have spent on fast food and i'll probably throw half of it away tomorrow... drive home... it's already 3:40

now i'm grilling burgers at 4(am) and hating life.  cooking your own food is so lame  :Yuck:
