What Grinds Your Gears? :)

[Mayhem]

Apologies

Would be so much easier if we had visible indicators in profiles

[Powder]

We do, I double checked before I corrected you.

Ever go into the bathroom to simply wash your hands and find your bath towel has slipped off the shower curtain rod and fallen onto the dirty floor?! God, I hate that!!!

[Cure]

That's why you use a hand towel, not a bath towel.

Unfortunately the hand towel rod is positioned right behind where the bathroom door covers the wall and the bathroom itself is so small I prefer to leave the door open unless I have company over.

[IndigoErth]

Yeah, I'm a little touchy about towels falling on the floor, but also depends on how recently the floor has been cleaned. Though with pets around I'm more touchy about it with the kitchen towels on that floor.

But I tend to just leave the current in-use bathroom hand towel there on the sink.

[Mayhem]

So no "3 second rule" about towels on the floor then?

Okay, I'll expand what I meant here, visible while browsing threads in the panel on the left hand side with your avatar

(so you don't have to click into a profile, and then on another tab)

Although I should really have remembered Indigo was female... gonna blame a lack of sleep there, I didn't get much in Berlin over the weekend...

Heard more information about what I did wrong on my internship. (Which I did 2 weeks ago. I thought it went great, but a teacher informed me I was the only one who did it bad. Like really bad.)
Basically it's a load of bullsh*t and I can't do anything about it.

I'd almost prefer a "-1 second rule." If something comes within a half inch above the floor, forget it.


Many don't even give that detail on their profiles as it is. Prob should remain optional for them if they'd prefer to remain unknown. No biggie though, just kinda glad this isn't one of those places that gets butthurt over clarification.




Grind... this snow can go away now. It's pretty and exciting while it's happening, but three days later, that's enough now. Trying to clear away some of the mess in the street just behind the driveway, because we're expecting some rain this evening and temps back to around freezing and really don't care for that lumpy mess becoming solid ice and trouble in the morning.... But I neither have the strength nor energy for this nonsense.

Not to mention someone of course did god knows what with the newer snow shovel that's made better for this and left me with just the old shovel with bend corners that we've had forever...

I got it smoothed down at least (an attempt which my mother may or may not have now ruined with her car), so hopefully it will be a little more passable in the morning. Many may look at it and think it's no big deal, but I'm rather skittish when it comes to driving on this crap.



Bonus resolved throw-back grind (because it came to mind earlier): Back in the day when sock seams were always right at the end of the toes. Hated that so much, glad it's generally not the case now. Kids today have no idea what many of us had to put up with.



Edit: The remaining 1/3rd of my Hot Pocket is now on the floor...

Edit more: Made a new one and... burned my finger on it. Hot Pockets do not like me tonight.

It JUST turned into packing snow finally, though, and I haven't made a snowman yet. So let's give it 'til Friday. After that, no more snow Period until I say so.

[ProactiveMan]

A snowman sounds like a pretty cool constellation prize.

My gears have been ground for weeks now by an overzealous security door near my desk at work. It wasn't closing properly, and people were just leaving it ajar, which is annoying in itself because it beeps after a few seconds. Some security door guys came and ratcheted the self-closing spring up to 9000, so now it slams shut like a catapult, and sounds like a shotgun going off every time someone goes to the bathroom.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Constellation prize? Is that an award made of stars? Sorry, I couldn't help but laugh at the error there.

No, silly, it's when you get a constellation named after you. Everyone knows that!

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Oh right. How could I forget?

[IndigoErth]

lol Thought the same. Now where is the Snowman constellation exactly... lol

[ProactiveMan]

*Sad trombone* If anyone needs me I'll be in my room.

I must have read that five times, and didn't pick it up.

Not the worst auto-correct error I've ever made. I once apologised to a client for any 'incontinence'.

Stores having Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and (some) Easter stuff all out at once. I get that Easter is early this year, but good grief. It's like the calendar threw up.

Recently got a new job and I can't stand rush hour traffic

I LOL'ed at this! But yeah, I agree, it can be kind of annoying.

[IndigoErth]

Only plus side is that the marshmallow Peeps are already in stock.

One reason I'm glad my new job is just 5 min away and I can avoid traffic most days.

Previous job was up at our mall next to the interstate (I-95 'beloved' I'm sure by the entire east coast) and dealing with its traffic got old real quick. Esp the wall of traffic headed to I-95 that would never want to let me in so I could get through them to the next lane over and not sit there stuck or forced onto the interstate.

Grats on the new job though
