Woke up today to a tire low pressure light and remembered that I'd hit the hell out of a pothole last night. Oh, and sometime during the night my heater turned on and /never turned off/. Even when I attempted to turn off the unit itself.
Hello Monday, how you doin'?
-
Driving home last night:
don't fucking slam on your brakes randomly when it's raining at night.
Gave the guy wiiiiide berth and had other people end up behind him. Watched them have to put on their brakes suddenly, too. None of us ever tailgating him (again: raining).
Either nervous nancy or some asshole hoping to get in an accident.
Just hoping whoever does end up hitting him (if the latter) has a dash cam because jesus fuck.

For some reason, I thought that third season of Last Kingdom dropped on Netflix today.
No. It drops next Monday.
I am unreasonably upset by this. Like, might actually start crying upset, despite being keenly aware that I am being unreasonable. I think this is the point of 'sick + sinus meds' where the only smart thing to do is put my toddler-tantrum ass down for a nap. But I can't.
Why did I say I was going to work from home today?

i think my battery is dying. I have a pushbutton starter that just kind of lags or doesn't turn on when I'm trying to start the car.
I have money to get a new battery. I don't have TIME. I work until 7pm and can't really take time off right now through the end of the year. So. That's fun.

Costco. They're open until 9PM and give you $$$ for recycling your old battery core or something. I also buy my tires there.

Tablet is on the fritz.
Was working last night to watch a couple episodes of anime in bed.
Get home from errands to get it ready to take to Vampire tonight, and it won't boot.

AKA "Tuesday".
And other days ending in 'y'.
-
This is probably very much a case of 1st world problems.
But no, if you phone me on a Tuesday afternoon I cannot make time for a job interview on Thursday the same week. I have an existing job and most of why you are potentially interested in hiring me is because of this and its fairly high profile, intensive nature!

There is no lettuce in the grocery stores. All i want is a salad. God damnit.
-
@jibberthehut Of course there isn't. It's time for everyone's annual salad no one will eat because they want to leave room for more stuffing.
-
@surreality apparently, an E Coli contamination that they can't pinpoint, so thus all romaine, anything with romaine in, grown with romaine is recalled till further notice. And the stuff i am growing isn't old enough to start trimming to eat.
-
Yeah, they were literally pulling all lettuce and lettuce adjacent products from the shelves when I was in the grocery a minute ago.
-
Crazy. Poor grocery store peeps.

One of my coworkers is gay. He's not openly-out-of-the-closet-gay, but it's pretty damn obvious.
He refers to his ex as his 'partner' (or did when they were still together). Now it's just 'ex' or 'ex-partner' but every so often it's been he/him, but it's just slipped in there very casual in a blink-and-you-miss-it sort of way. Even so, it's there if you actually, y'know, fucking pay attention and are a halfway decent listener.
Wednesday, he was talking about going to Thanksgiving with a friend (he has no family in town) and the boss immediately goes: 'Ohhh, is she preeeeeetty?' and the coworker quickly goes: 'No, but he does call himself Princess.'
Which might just be the most glaring hint I've ever heard.
And yet, just now, I overhear: 'So, did you reply to that email from your ex-girlfriend yet?
I wanna bash my forehead into the desk.
Like, since he's never come out to the office (and it's always just been sort of subtle), I don't feel it's my place to take anyone aside or say anything to HR, but it has started to kind of bother me and as such I can't even begin to imagine how it must be for him.

Come and trim my Christmas treee, with some decorations bought at Tiffany!
Tiffany!!!
It's not Tiffany*'s*!
It's TIFFANY!!!!

@deathbird Well. It was founded by a man named Tiffany (Charles Tiffany), so Tiffany's is still grammatically correct in the sense of 'Tiffany's store' or what have you.
-
@deathbird I mean, technically it's Tiffany & Co. More significantly, it's Breakfast at Tiffany's, not Breakfast at Tiffany.

I'm talking about original song lyrics being covered incorrectly on accident.
