Oh hey, my day job's payroll got processed early so I was able to take advantage of Black Friday to get Colonel Jack O'Lantern a nice space heater!

The breezeway (his recovery room) does have a heater but it's an insanely expensive, loud, and inefficient gas heater so yaaay!

me: why do I feel so on edge and off balance today

my morning psychiatric meds staring at me from next to my water bottle:

you know what's extremely fucking cool and completely disrespected in modern times? (besides vanilla, the finest of the flavors?)

apples

the history, the variety, the spectrum of shapes, sizes, colors, flavors, growth conditions, you can get an apple damn near anywhere in the world 🍎🌏

I have lost the ability to read out a string of numbers without sounding like a number station

I love that about me

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

I just want a kind man who will show me all of his Warhammer miniatures and/or Gundam models and also let me peg him and honestly I don't feel like I'm asking for that much

Me: hey how do I do this thing
Head of IT: that's not possible in the new version
Me: that doesn't make any sense
Head of IT: 🤷‍♂️
Me: I'll figure it out my damn self then

[10 minutes later]
Me: figured it out, absolutely is possible
Head of IT: 👍
me: you don't actually understand what I did do you

my Toxic American Trait™ is that I really, really, REALLY want to go on a cruise

I am very much aware of all of the downsides but,,,, I really want to go on a cruise

I've been outside of my window of tolerance for nearly three weeks. I've hit the point where I'm crying over every minor inconvenience and having to fight down the urge to throw things or yell. I hate feeling like this.

I have finally reported enough ads on reddit that I've started getting the absolutely bonkers stuff

Feels good man

*in the most exhausted voice you can possibly imagine* it's a net positive when a niche hobby or media becomes mainstream, it's good to welcome new people with open arms, gatekeeping is wrong

"heyyy you know that book series you've been listening to over and over? maybe you want to.... buy it again?? for some reason??"

I feel like the Books You May Like section should check to see if it's a Book You Already Own

I regularly stop playing mobile games when they make me go to the app store to update

I honestly don't know why it bothers me so much but I've been playing the same gooner phone game for 636 days and there are regular maintenance windows! It Can Be Done!

yknow

I've hit the point that I absolutely do agree that gendering random products is ridiculous

but I can still admit that I'd be way less embarrassed if I were seen sipping that cute, minimalist FLRT can instead of a BEASTLY CAN OF MONSTER ENERGY TO UNLEASH THE BEAST

This evening, I took over my week of being the afterhours 🌝 emergency 🚨 IT 💻 person 🧍at my day job

I received a call ☎️ , which almost never happens 😱

the person on the other end hesitantly asked who she was speaking to ❓, then apologized for calling and hung up 😬😂

the perks of being asocial 🤓💪

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

when it's quite late, and you've had a glass of wine, and you find yourself missing your ex and have to talk yourself out of reaching out, just to say hi, yknow? see how she's doing. tell her she looks happy.
