Finnish fucking mail services. Looks like they have lost a couple of vinyls that I ordered. Well, it's not sure yet but at least something weird is going on.
Before this they have already lost one of my own shippings to the netherlands, new iphone back glass (that I ordered INSIDE FINLAND) and one CD from UK. Or is my address possessed?

2 of my favorite bands are playing together a few hours away.
1) I'm pissed because they're not playing in Vancouver
2) I'd be willing to travel if I didn't have to move as soon as I got home.

Anything over that is paid directly to me after the end of the month, but that very, VERY rarely happens, even when we're backed up on work orders and they need an extra hand for a few hours. I gladly volunteer to stay for the day if I'm paid, but I'm almost always refused the extra hours. I'm extremely lucky if I come out of the month with a single dollar on my paycheck from this place (after my rent is paid for, of course). The new job just pays me, directly, and since I won't be working where I live anymore, I'll have to pay the rent myself. However, I can make enough money for my rent, PLUS groceries for a week, in one week at this new job. They had no problem offering me $14 an hour (which is just shy of double minimum wage) and 40+ hours a week, and when I told them that my current job only allows me to work 11 hours a week, they property manager rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell? Are they so cheap that they can't afford the extra help over there?"
Really, the only difference between the job I have now and the new one I'm starting is that instead of having my rent paid for, I'll be receiving the money directly and writing the check myself. I mean...it's not really an emotionally charged decision in this case. It's actually a pretty golden opportunity for the time being. The work is the exact same work I'm doing at my current job, but like I said, double the pay, four times the hours, and for a manager that I can respect and trust.
There was also a big debacle over how many hours of pay covered my rent for the longest time, but that's a whole other thing.
Totally unrelated - It feels really, REALLY gross that there was an episode of Big Bang Theory dedicated to deciding whether the PS4 or Xbone is the better console.

I guess I should be clearer on my point: The job that pays your rent will always be there. There's no reason you can't take the other job, too (though perhaps not the total 40+ hours a week during the school year). You never know what will happen with the new job. Having a sure-fire way to cover your rent is golden. (From what you conveyed, a large part of you quitting seemed to be your frustration over your manager; that's the "emotionally charged" part I was referring to.)

Loud eating noises make me want to throttle whomever's making them... This includes family.

Ahh, gotcha! Nah, me wanting to quit the job has been a long-gestating thing. Management of the property had spun out of control over the last 5 or so months. I'm definitely not the first to leave, and I won't be the last, either. I've stuck with it so long purely out of the necessity of having my rent paid for. The new place has even offered to let me work "part-time" until I can afford a couple months-worth of rent money, which should be pretty quick. With my current day-job only taking 11 hours a week, I have nothing but free time to spend makin' day chedda.

It feels really, really gross that people think the Big Bang Theory is funny.

I concur. I don't get the attraction for the show.

Finally got around to upgrading my phone to iOS 7.1 and it ended up needed a factory restore. How nice of Apple to give me Saturday night plans.

My roommates girlfriend and my other roommate is a cunt. Since she runs his life she is attempting to pull that shit with me as well. It seems in the house we rent all rent I get my room to keep all my shit in and am apparently not to have a presence beyond that.
Gah, I'll bitch further later perhaps when I hey on a computer.

Walking out to the alley to have a smoke a few minutes ago I slipped on something, went ass over tits, and hit my head on the wall. Ripped some hair out, but it could have been worse, at least the cigarette I was holding wasn't damaged...

Time to quit - it's a sign.

If hitting your head is the worst thing to come from smoking, you're goddamn lucky.

The new neighbor (with young kids) has put their piano on the enclosed front porch. Really looking forward to summer!!! o_O

I fucking hate residential property.

At least it isn't a violin... Neighbour kid next door SUUUUUCKS at violin. And her and her brother suck at karaoke. They're like 7-8 and 5-6, and I almost burned the house down last month when they were shout-singing along to their karaoke machine. It would have been at least mildly excusable had it been any other song than "Feliz Navidad".

That agonizing, angsty feeling that comes just before a big writing project. It's horrible.
Some friends started their 6 yo on viola lessons: they must be crazy, or masochists. My kid is not going anywhere near a violin. Pure torture. Even really good violin playing is agony to my ears. Odious instrument. I'd say the trumpet is a close second.

Advices suggesting me to listen to a new album (or new music in general) in a good headphones (okay) in a dark room with the lights out, in order to get it. GTFO.

Get your kid into piano lessons, asap!

you hate the sound of violins being played by good violinists? Your ears are so completely different from mine...
While I'm here and complaining about stuff, I'm going to say that I fucking hate soldering with a passion that is unreal. We had a soldering workshop at my school the other day, and I don't think I've ever come that close to just completely losing my mind. I cannot understand people who "enjoy" doing that.

dude, i LOVE soldering. i love the smell, i love the transmogrification of a solid into a liquid and back into a solid so rapidly, and i love making things WORK! idunno, i'm pretty weird, i guess.

I haven't soldered in years but I'm totally on board with you, it's so cool!

Same! Omg... Today, I was doing research on programmable plasma cutters for work. FFFUUU - I am so excited!

I used to do stained glass, so I'm down with the soldering!
Now I'm 0000
I won’t even touch a soldering iron that’s plugged in (even the non-heated part). In my nightmares it’s the biggest, fattest hypodermic needle ever made and it’s fucking on fire. *shudder*

wow...that is terrifying.I won’t even touch a soldering iron that’s plugged in (even the non-heated part

There are reasons why I still can't get a permit for a hammer.
Now I'm 0000
Speaking of permits (aaaaaand getting back on topic), FUCK THE NRA. I suppose now they're going to tell us we need to arm senior fucking citizens at the Jewish Community Center instead of running background checks on the monsters who buy guns to kill people.
That is all.
