When I put Mosquito Repellent juices over myself, to avoid getting eaten up, I always end up getting it on my cock and bollocks. It burns.

Are you going nude at the creek or something?

For my current client my office is a room called "Alderaan" right next door is the room where the executives meet and it's called "Deathstar"
Strangely apropos

I've noticed game companies name their conference rooms all the time. When I interviewed at SE-LA back in 09 the conference rooms were all named after summons. When I interviewed at Riot this year they were all named after champions from the game.

The place I work has the upstairs conference room and the downstairs conference room. zzzz

Why did I quadruple schedule clients today.

On the plus side, I'll be too exhausted to do anything stupid this weekend for the anniversary of my year from fucking hell's start date.

My roommate just announced he's moving to Miami at the end of June on Facebook.

This is the first I've heard of it. Wtf, dude.

He's been in the apartment ONE MONTH. This is the third roommate in a row to move out after being here less than a year. Is the problem me?

I'm not even here 80% of the time. I'm either at work, with friends, or in CT. Maybe three weekends a month I'm home and awake for any sizable length of time, and I mostly sleep on the weekends anyways. And I'm always keeping the kitchen and fridge clean and clear...

For starter's he's paying 2/3 the rent off the bat because he was a friend of a friend and I was desperate. Then he didn't even pay THAT last month because he couldn't get a parking pass and had to pay $5 a day to park. So he took that out of the rent and for some reason (I'm fucktarded) I let it slide. But I've kept trying to get him on the lease which precludes getting the pass, and something always "comes up."

I don't normally get upset about shit like this (I know, I should) but the more I think about this the more annoyed I'm getting. Gonna ask him to cough up the "full" amount for last month's rent, parking fees be damned.

Fuck. I hate the entire song and dance. I need a fucking loft or something. Fuck roommates.

I've also done that.

Though he wasn't my roommate anymore at the time.

Tasty · « **Reply #429 on:** May 16, 2015, 11:03:40 AM »

Got him to agree to pay the portion of the rent he didn't pay last month. And he vacuumed the living room which I've been meaning to do for a while.

When he was out last night I was thinking up all this incredibly venomous shit to say to him but when I saw him this morning it was very diplomatic. Guess this is a slight triumph.

Right shoulder started "popping" uncomfortably during the last few laps today. $:-\$ It's given me trouble for years, like it becomes uncomfortable to have a backpack on for more than 10 mins, and last week I pulled some kind of muscle trying to get a canopy thing down. Need to get it checked out.

One company I worked for had a contest to name their conference rooms. There were seven, so naturally I suggested the seven deadly sins. Obviously "Greed" would go to Sales, and "Gluttony" would go to Marketing. The executive staff didn't seem to be into the idea.

all this talking about exes and facebook made me look up one of my exes.
She was very vain and wanted to travel the world and have a nice job, handsome husband with an important job and live in a trendy city.
She's stuck in a back water town in the middle of nowhere, married to a frumpy pudgy real-estate guy who sells nutrilife on the side (which tells you he can't be that successful).
Her pics she smiles but looks unhappy and the smiles are forced.

Normally I'd be like

But I'm sorta sad for her, she wanted so much out of life and got so little out of it

But honestly, I'm a terrible person so

On occasion I'll cyberstalk my exes. For the most part, they're living very boring lives with a boring job, a boring husband, and maybe a boring baby or two.

Dog won't shit when I take her out, which makes me angry, which she picks up on and knows I'm angry at her, but not for what, which makes her anxious, which makes me angrier because now I've made the situation even more annoying, so now she's cowering under my bed, probably shitting there, and I'm just uselessly angry at life.

Yoga pants are a little too popular in Idaho. A young woman at the supermarket today was wearing some, and it was difficult to not stare, because her butt moved like two bobcats fighting in a burlap sack.

I get philosophical about ~~everything~~ accounting and tbh I see no reason why more types of employees aren't capitalized assets (I know footballers have to be) beyond the inhumanity of it making people feel icky and the "human element" making valuations more abstract.

The thing most companies that have clients don't understand is that the employees ARE the products.
Such a simple thing. But so many don't get it.

Woke up to alarm at 7:45 but then went back under the covers for a few minutes because I have to plan my day wide awake in a fetal position before I can get started. So then somehow I fell asleep again and woke up at 10:15 which considering I had to be at work by 10 was a pretty big problem.

I know my bosses wouldn't give a shit but I'm way too embarrassed to admit the truth so I created a story of coughing violently during my commute and then stopping at CVS and then badda-boom I decide that this is going to be a day off so I don't make everyone sick. Of course they didn't ask a single fucking detail about anything.

I think this is the first time in my life I've taken an unscheduled day off.
