So I'm watching True Lies on W (formerly the "Women's Television Network", WTN).
They CUT OUT the Hotel room dancing scene! It jumped straight from "Now remove your nylons one by one." "I'm not wearing any" "that's good..." to "Now lie down on the bed, and close your eyes".
I hope the irony isn't lost.

@Ganymede IKR?!

I hate having to watch history repeat itself in pretty dark patterns. It really sucks that there are so many things in life that you have to just shut up and let people do what they're going to do, and hope that maybe you can be there to help pick up the pieces afterwards. The generational affects of neglect and abuse can be really fucking tough and most of the time with anyone but yourself, there's absolutely nothing, /nothing/ you can do until they're ready. I hate that shit.

Ugh. Yeah. I feel you there.

Everyone has to learn for themselves. We don't mind it in children, but many important life lessons are still being learned in your twenties and thirties, and that's besides life lessons about being a parent.
I'd suggest trying to lovingly accept it and guide folks, but I'm not nice like that.

My First World Problem:
New Corsair headset. Nicer than anything I've had before. Software to mess with the color pulses on the side of the headsets. Cool.
Update box pops up. Has a link to the download page for this instead of downloading the update itself. Well ... okay.
Download link goes to generic "downloads" page, not the one for this program. O...kay?
Installer program does not know that it's already installed, so does not offer to install new version in the same place as the older version.
This is a high-end game-machine peripheral company what now? Is this the 90s? Geeze.

Presumptive tips. Yes, I warned you I only had big bills, it's late. I'm getting pizza at 1am I understand you are probably in college and not allowed to carry that much cash late at night. This is why I warned you. I had your tip set to the side with change. I want to get rid of my change. Don't hand me back bills and expect I'm going to be okay with it because you don't have enough change. Don't assume that I will be okay with tipping you an amount because you didn't bring enough cash to cover it.

In a similar vein:
Bought a Lenovo Y70. NVidia Geforce Experience constantly reminds me that I need to install the updated driver. I check for updates. It tells me that it's good to go, and starts to install... only to fail to install.
The same thing happens when I try to install the software to take fuller advantage of the high end mouse I just bought.
Sigh.

I fixed the plumbing issue in the apartment that made it so I had to cut off the cold water line (basically, the faucet knobs weren't cutting the water off, so I had to fix that because the water wouldn't stop running).
Cue the toilet tank's valve breaking and me having to cut the cold water again because it won't stop leaking like crazy.
FML.
P.S. Still no hot water. Mother fucker.

Sigh. When my kids run down the aerosol in the fun squirty whipped cream can spending too much time trying to shoot it in to their mouths. No super artificially fluffy stuff for me.

Down to:
- No hot water;
- Ridiculously cloggy kitchen sink;
- Roaches.
Tonight, I aerosol-bomb the roaches again, this time in high concentrations in the bathroom and kitchen.
After that, it's the long-game.
Moving has been great, guys, no, really. -_-
(I do love being on my own, though. Even if I have unsolicited insectoid company.)

TIL @coin is reenacting Joe'so apartment.

Double post: Apparently I have given myself a respiratory/sinus infection by placing my CPAP machine directly above a patch of mold.

FUCK YOU FLEAS. FUCK YOU. AND YOUR MOTHERS AND THE TINY PONIES YOU RIDE UPON.

I don't understand how fish get fleas, though I can see getting flea collars on them might be hard.
-
I found two fleas on my dog last night... As such, I haven't slept for two reasons:
- I've been obsessively vacuuming the entire house while not at work after washing the dog with flea-shampoo
- I feel itchy
Fuck you, fleas. =|

My management company.
Have a broken tooth with exposed nerves and find out that the dental insurance they've been taking out of my paycheck for three months wasn't actually filed so I have no coverage. I would have had an appointment today to fix it, but now I have to wait 24-48 more hours of excruciating pain, and the inability to eat or sleep, because of their fuck-up. Thanks, management company. Screw you.

Having a UTI during my period, while working a full-time customer service job that puts me in constant contact with selfish, entitled fucks that can't grasp the service they're bitching about is a privilege, not a right. I have never wanted @HelloRaptor's machine to stab people in the face through the Internet this much.

@Thisnameistaken My god. Won't your dentist see you and then delay filing the claim for the 48 hours needed for things to get fixed? Honestly, if my dentist was going to let me have a broken tooth and exposed nerve for eight hours, much less 48, over some easily verifiable insurance fuck-up that will be resolved, I'd go to a different dentist right away. Either that or I'd get someone at the management company to call the dentist, explain that they fucked up and are fixing it, and assure the dentist that you are covered. It is just inhuman to let bureaucratic bullshit trump someone in pain.
