It's just good everyone was alright. I lost a friend to a careless semi driver about a year ago who was texting on the highway.

Retroactively fucked - we said goodbye to our dog last Monday. We're doing OK, but it still hurts quite a bit.

@ltrandazzo , my heartfelt condolences. They only break our hearts once. :-(
(Also, Charlie was REALLY cute OMG.)

Today I woke up at 4:30 ET to catch a flight from Philadelphia to Chicago, I had almost arrived at the airport when I noticed that I forgot to fill the tank for my rental. By the time I made it to the airport, I had less than 1 hour to get through security and check my bags. I made it with a few minutes before boarding. After landing in Chicago at 9:45 CT, I had about 45 minutes to change terminals because I was flying back to Canada. I flew from Chicago to Calgary and arrived at 1:15 PM MT. I had to transfer from United Airlines to Air Canada, which means I had to re-check my bags and go through security like I had just been dropped off at the airport (huge pain in the ass!). I made it to the gate with literally less than 1 minute until boarding. Then I flew for a third time to Fort St. John (a town in northeastern BC, same latitude as the Alaskan panhandle). By the time I arrived, it was 4:30 PST. I then spent like 20 minutes waiting for my baggage to arrive, when they never did I went to the service desk and found out that they had misplaced it for a later flight and it won't be arriving until tomorrow. Now I have to drive back to the airport just for my bags (WTF!). Add that to my 15 hour travel day, and I have to be back at work bright and early tomorrow morning, and now all I want to do now is dive into bed and sleep but I need to get the caffeine buzz off so I'm going to listen to calming music and play video games.

I had lasik done, and as such I have to put eye drops in every four hours. This morning I had set all of them out and walked away to take care of something. I come back and grab the bottle that's sitting there and just as I drop into the second eye, my wife says "where did I put the eye drops for the cats".
Jesus Christ.
At least it was just an antibiotic, but I still flushed with some normal eye drops before I started my medicated ones.
She laughed so hard. I'm like, "I can't read that tiny print for shit right now and you put them right next to mine, great plan!"

I have a friend going through that, it's not been any fun watching her. But the prognosis is good and I hope yours is as well.

I found out that I'm being fucked over by the company I have worked for the last seven years. I'm losing out on £3675 ($4,740) of redundancy pay because those assholes found a loophole.

it never fails to surprise me how eager people are to screw over the employees "below" them who actually make their company functional. i'm so sorry.
Active Member
Thanks. It really bites because I'm moving back to the states with no job lined up. Redundancy pay is UK law, so I thought I had this to help me float.

Been having back problems for years. Finally reached its peak. Only really an issue when I work (line cook).
So, finally, a doctor decided to take an xray. Turns out I have mild scoliosis after many years of thinking I didn't.
Not really angry about it. But I'm guessing I need to reevaluate my daily now life. Particularly, the weightlifting part.
Im looking for a new job though. No point staying somewhere that causes so much pain (literally and figuratively).

no fun. hope all goes well for you!

I am in the middle of day 4 of a pointless fight with my fiancee. It's about nothing. Nothing. It's just a lot of crying and drama and bullshit.

Hint: Then it’s not really about “nothing.” Validate validate validate.

I had the worst (work related only; no bullshit politics involved) day at work today. To put it simply—I’m drowning in work responsibilities that I was not behind on (actually I was AHEAD) before today and now I’m not sure how I’m going to climb out of this mess.
Fuck.

we put so much effort into Halloween... it's my favorite holiday, and some friends from out of town, some other friends over that I hadn't seen in a long time... we set up all this meticulous lighting and props and jump scares... and then the power went out... so we hooked up a generator... and it fried my PS4.
I've finally got everything working again I think... two days later... and tonight I'm having Halloween for me, my fiancee, and my buddy who's visiting. If the fucking power goes out again tonight...

I've been reading Black Klansman and was reading it during lunch today at work. I finished eating and started walking back to my office when a black guy came up the stairs, looked towards me - and down at my book - and then kept on going. I didn't even notice until I was past him what happened, but I laughed about it. I debated going back and talking to him but I hate bad impressions even worse than bad opening conversation gambits so I went back and said hi. Talked for a bit about the book and the movie, had a few good laughs at the world and how fucked up it is right now, and then I left. It's still kind of funny but now I think I'll carry it around with something on top of it until I'm finished.

My wife who has five years of experience working at a vet clinic, two bachelors degrees, and is halfway through a masters degree did not even get an interview into Texas A&M's vet school. It's so dumb. Like I understand that they really value academics and GPA, but because of that, they are screwing non-traditional students like my wife. A&M have spent the better part of the last five years doing everything they can to prevent Texas Tech from opening another vet school, though it seems that they're finally getting one but not for a couple years. If A&M didn't block Tech, there would have already been another vet school in texas. Oh well. Hopefully she gets into Colorado State once she's done with her masters there.

Just off the phone to my mother, my granddad (pretty much the person who raised me and my sisters) is in hospital again with a suspected fungal lung infection, of which they are saying if the anti-biotics don't work (and they aren't hopeful) this might be it...so i'm expecting things for the next few weeks to potentially be fucking awful...banger of a start to the year.

I will pray for a good ending to this situation. Honestly, this year began so-so .. I myself constantly monitor Elgin News to keep abreast of the situation in our city. Modern mobility is a bad joke with us, right? You never know when your city will turn into World War Z. Our pastor will talk about it on Sunday.

not a great day. leaving soon for a day at hospital for heart tests. on top of that, sick from chemo side effects. the worst part is having to drive to downtown seattle during rush hour with no coffee involved! i jest on that last part but its still not optimal.

Woke up to find that one of my colleagues passed in his sleep Friday night. Had no diagnosed health issues, no history of mental illness at all. Loved his job. Loved his family. No indication at all as to what happened. Wasn't "old" by any stretch.
Obviously my day isn't really fucked compared to his family's, but fuck, this hurts. It's one thing to lose someone after a slow decline or at least some sort of diagnosis. The suddenness of this is just really messing with me.

Quick update. My grandad has responded well to the anti-biotics and was able to have a blood transfusion (what he originally went in for) and has been told he can be discharged today, which is a MASSIVE relief. The catch is the doctor had a word with him and my mum, and explained his body will not allow him to have many more transfusions, so we should enjoy everyday we have together as next time he might not be coming out.
Thanks again for all the well wishes, i really appropriate them
