  • just spent a week's pay on getting the brakes on my car fixed

i feel like the shift pattern i do at my very easy office job means working hours that are too long, 10 hour shifts sometimes, but i'm unsure if it's worth the almost £200 less a month i would get if i switched to dayshift with flexi time doing 36 hours per week.

i have to walk ten minutes to the nearest grocery shop that has a decent range/pricing and frequently when i'm doing so it rains.

my PC at home has malware and I can't use Google or Bing bc their search results auto-redirect me to freaky diseased sites

I mean I guess that could happen in the third world too but there's something pretty... entitled about getting butthurt over the crappiness of ask.com

Whiney: click "more" in the lower right and it's there. If you want it as a button on the lower bar, click "edit" and you can drag buttons on/off the bar at the bottom.

Nah, I mean when you sort by artists, anything in a comp shows up. it doesnt do that on a pod. drives me nuts

Oh, yeah, that is lame as hell and annoys me.

That fucks me off too. It happens on the Apple TV and there's no easy way to get to the end of the artist list. Ridiculous.

imo Apple TV kind of sucks browsing music unless you do it from an iPhone/iPad

and then it's awesome

Stood on what might have been a piece of glass earlier and ripped the sole of my foot open, now I'm worried I won't be able to go clubbing this week or enjoy my Europe holiday next week because it hurts so fucking much to stand on

wanna check out the new SmashBurger that opened up, but construction on the route there makes it prohibitive to do so for lunch.

Ate a hot dog and got mustard on my track ball. Track ball became hard to move around with my thumb.

BUT THEN, I swirled it around and all the dust that was caught inside it got stuck on the mustard and rotated around to the front where I was able to pick it off.

Track ball moves freely once again though the surface is still sticky.
