Video Conferences.

Someone's computer is always f'ed up and makes everyone else wait. Do we really need to see people as we're in a meeting? I know what they look like. Just do it over the phone and be done with it. Skype and Google Hangouts can suck it.

ive had this patch of hard, rough skin on the outside of my foot for a while now. ive always just ignored it because its never caused me any discomfort but now its really starting to bother me. its super itchy all the time and starting to get painful. i dont know what it is, but i know a lot of people have to get surgery to get shit like that removed and i really dont want to have surgery, but i know its not going away and its not something that i can just scrub or hack of myself.

The way you are describing it, I have/had something similar. My new doctor saw it on my last physical and said it was probably an excema spot, whatever that means. She prescribed me a corticosteroid, and it's been doing a good job of making it go away.

Going to need to develop a portable EMP emitter to take those fuckers out.

I got a cold and I'm flying from Norway to Vancouver tomorrow.. As if flying doesn't suck enough already.

Random lower back pain for the past two weeks. So debilitating. Your back is basically used anytime you move in anyway. Having a lot of trouble sleeping.

I didn't slam or anything. I thought I just slept on it wrong and it'd feel better. I was popping six Advils at a time, then finally went to the Kaiser urgent care place. We have a super nice, new one in DC. They did some tests, but just came up with, "Strained lower back." They gave me some muscle relaxers and Hydrocodone for the pain. I'm a little scared of the pain killers. I've seen too many people get dependent on them. I'm doing half at a time.

I can't do shit. Can't go to work, ride the Metro, do lawn work, walk the dogs, etc. The only plus is my boss has been really cool about me working from home. One of my friends owns a hot yoga studio. He says I should try that out.

Been late twice rent recently as hours were cut at work... Wrote a check for my rent for January.

Then my paycheck bounced, and thus my rent bounced. I'm $200.00 short to cover the rent. Superb!

Explained it to my landlord but considering I was late twice in the last 6 months she isn't too thrilled about it.

Definitely not stoked.

THIS! I read the Harry Potter series after the first couple movies came out, so even as I read the books I already had a mental image of Alan Rickman as Snape. Fuck this bums me out sooo much. Between him Bowie and Wayne Rogers (I'm a huge fan of M*A*S*H) 2k16 fucking sucks.

My heater has been on the outs for the last month and a half. My landlord has this shitty home warranty he has to go through to get anyone out to fix it, which usually takes a few weeks. The 4th repair guy will be here Wednesday.

I also had to just email him to tell him the dishwasher took a shit this afternoon. He hates spending money on this place, to the point that the only cleaning he did prior to us moving in was vacuum the carpet...
