One day last week I went to the grocery store when it was 90+ degrees outside. They had the heat on. Because......Corporate. Corporate is nowhere near here. But they decide which day of the year the heat starts and the AC starts.
Who cares how much harder the freezer units have to work on a day like that?
Who cares how the employees and customers are sweating inside the store?
Who cares what a waste of the earth's resources that kind of policy is?
Not Corporate.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?

ATM machine. C'mon people, it's IN THE NAME----Automated Teller MACHINE.
Hot water heater. One, wouldn't it at least be more accurate to call it a COLD water heater? But let's just call it what it is----a water heater.

I go that extra mile, er, 1.609 kilometres to do a nice clean-up in the kitchen after baking a cake. What do I have to show for it? Soaking-wet sleeves on my sweater.

And now you have a cake and a clean kitchen. I'd settle for either of those. :gimme_five:

“Seems,” madam? Nay, it is. I know not “seems.” And thus could be said that it was unseemly.

I work with a woman who can't staple two pieces of paper together. Well, she can, but she sure as shit can't line up the two pieces neatly.
Speaking of stapler difficulties, a different woman I work with once stapled papers together for nearly three hours before she realized the stapler was empty. Not that she realized it had been three hours and went back and fixed things. No, you could see the indentations the stapler made at the corners of dozens of pieces of paper.
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away...

I’m supposed to be able tI be on my unit within 30 minutes of being called in. I love 45 minutes away. I used to stay with my now ex boyfriend. Soooo i rented an Airbnb room. The place was infested with mosquitos. Hopefully I don’t get called back in, because I’m now in my own bed. I’m so ducking tired and emotionally drained.

Well, well, well...it turns out that on my birthday last week, my credit card was having dinner in Paris. Then it traveled to North Carolina and West Virginia and bought some stuff there.
Meanwhile my Facebook account is sending out its own friend requests.
I'm kind of envious. I'd love to have spent the past week traveling and making a bunch of friends.
god, ugh

Did you have physical custody of your card that whole time or did it really sprout feet and wings?

What’s a little embarrassing is that the bank did send a notification on the day of—to the landline we got rid of years ago. I guess we never updated the number. I thought I had, but nope. At least now the bank has my cellphone and my email.

Before this I lived in a small town just outside St. Louis County. One day the postal worker knocked on my door. She had a package addressed to me, but with an address a few blocks away. It was fru-fru make-up and crap like that. Evidently somebody had my card number. I went over to that address and advised them that I would burn their house down that night, at 2 am. When I went by the house the next day it was empty.

Mine does that too.
I get messages saying so-and-so accepted my request when I never sent one. I also get friend requests from people who never sent one to me.
I've recently grown rudimentary legs and I am now making the move from water to land.

I had a dream the other night that Momsurroundedbyboys was the secretary at my office.
It was presumed that she’d been there for a long time, but if felt like we were meeting for the first time in a month. She stopped me in the parking lot, lit a cigarette, and talked with me for a little bit about what she had been up to since she left TTA before I woke up.
It was really strange, looking back on it; I have no idea what she looks like in real life, but I just sort of accepted that this woman was the person she said she was.
You know, living in hell is a lot more boring than I thought it would be.

I’m having forum dreams too. I dreamt that Takiyya Mockingbird found us again.
