he sounds cool……….

 

he is…

 

fwiw, I also do this lmao

 

I wish my mom would text more. She hates texting so she calls instead. And it’s never anything important but the conversation always lasts at least 30 mins. But if I don’t answer she then repeatedly texts/calls me thinking I got kidnapped or something lol one time I didn’t answer bc I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to her banging on my door freaking out bc she thought I was dead. I now have to text her if I go to the movies or something so she won’t freak out when I don’t answer my phone.

 

My mom and uncle also do the ellipses thing, that's certified old person behavior

 

My dad's favorite emoji is just to send a thumbs up to fucking anything lol.

 

are you his father

 

We used to send wordle too. If mum was going to post something here about me it would how much she hates my word system for wordle.
Fatty
Sperm
Chubs
If I got it in 3 I'd text her. Big day for sperm! - whale emoji and receive a flurry of devil emojis in return.
She would protest that chubs isnt even a word and get even more upset when I would use it in a sentence but nothing compared to the dismay she experienced during the time when we where watching her favourite British quiz show The Chase and her beloved host Bradley read out the question during the final chase "What kind of animal is a chub?"
ITS A FISH!

 

Was told yesterday afternoon that campus would be closed Monday and Tuesday, was told this evening that they should be treated as remote workdays. There goes two days off. I don't even have my work laptop at home with me and I'm sure I'm not the only one!

 

can you even do any work?

 

Basically, I have access to my email, any files shared with me via email, and very limited access to Teams via my phone. I don't have access to anything saved directly to my work laptop or any of the university's network drives. I emailed my supervisors and they were both as surprised as I was, basically said they don't expect much engagement and to just do what I can. I don't even have my notes with me regarding the things I'm working on, and fortunately, I don't have any meetings scheduled, so I think I'm mostly going to be answering emails and taking notes on what needs done when we get back on campus.

 

The new iPhone update is fucking with my Safari app. I’ll be using it and at random, the screen will just go black. If I open a new tab, the new tab will also just go black and I can’t do/see anything. I have to reboot the app completely and it’ll work again just fine.

Anyone else encounter this?

 

The clothing company that used to make jeans that make my ass look great changed the way they’re cut ):<

 

I say this completely platonically, just remember the jeans are only half of that equation. Having an ass that looks great takes an ass that looks great and they can never take that from you

 

You’re a real one, @Aaron Mook

 

I am officially over being a homeowner!! Everything that can go wrong will go wrong and always at the worst time!

 

Tell me about it. Our furnace went out in the middle of the worst snowstorm in seven years lol. We can't get a new furnace delivered and installed until we somehow get rid of the three feet of snow in our road.

 

That’s awful!! I’m so sorry! My furnace is over 30 years old and this year it is so loud and making weird noises so I’m just crossing my fingers it makes it through the winter. I was saving money up for it but it all went to car repairs and now I have a leak I gotta deal with. Truly can never get ahead!

 

I know the feeling. I'm sorry that you're dealing with all of that right now and wishing you the best!!

 

We are only allowed to carry 40 hours of pto over to the next year. I’m taking 4 days off over Xmas so I don’t lose any. My boss just called me and told me our fiscal year ends the 15th not the 31st so I’m going to lose half my pto now unless I take next week off instead. There goes all my plans!! I have enough to cover Xmas eve and Xmas too but really not what I wanted to do!

 

People who treat always being busy as a badge of honor

 

This. Especially when you know what their job is. It's like, take it easy, you're either acting self-important or being exploited, it's not noble.

Sorry, now I'm just ranting about my best friend. He changes careers every 5 years like clockwork and that becomes his whole personality and can't possibly take any time off to get together no matter how much lead time you give, it's always the busiest time. Even if I just casually text him not expecting any timely response, it's "can't talk right now I'm going into work" or "sorry I just got off". Like yeah, we're all adults with full-time+ jobs, if I text I just expect a response whenever is convenient, you don't have to take that as an opportunity to make yourself look busy all the time.

 

What state do you live in? Can you ask to get paid out on that paycheck?

 

How cheap plastic water bottles bulge out on the bottom after being in the fridge too long so you can't put them on a flat surface without tipping over.
