    Why no, I was not especially strong today, I was just using the wrong bar and didn’t discover my error until my workout was done. Somebody say it’s going to be OK

    It’s going to be OK -

    I feel like I could flip a table because I have spent two days going through hundreds of online files to fix multiple problems - having to click on each one 3+ times before saving it again and guess what

    Now I have to do it again because there is a third problem and my hand already hurts from all of the thousands of clicks and if tomorrow weren't already Friday I think I might riot

    How much computer stuff falls into the realm of art rather than science.

    To me, it seems like it should be very cut and dried, and when you do a particular action on a computer it should have a predictable outcome…and yet there are glitches.

    I know some of you are going to say those are due to human error. The problem with that argument is twofold.

    Firstly, the IT people say that they did everything right. And secondly, sometimes I will perform the exact same action I have performed many times before, but the outcome is different.

    My good shoulder really hurts. But I guess now it's my bad shoulder cause the bad one I realized yesterday has full range of motion back.

    🤣 I shared my thoughts with the man who was trying to get my scanner to cooperate with my laptop and I told him I was going to write a book about philosophy and computers, and he said, “good luck getting IT to respond to one of your calls.” I’m pretty sure he was joking. 😬😂

    I have mentioned that I can’t talk to people

    When you book the first appointment of the day for a service person to come to your house...and they call at your appointment time to say they are running over an hour late. It's not the type of service where there could be a professional emergency that would take precedence (ie plumber).

    So, I have to assume the most likely reason is they overslept. I set my alarm for you...you can't set your alarm for me?

    Each IT person you call for book quotes will simply pass you off to another IT person. 😂

    You talk juuuuuust fine 😊

    Ugh, time zone math. I can never remember whether east coast is ahead or behind unless I think “Tonight at 8/7 central”

    See this is the kind of math we should be teaching kids. Real life stuff. We teach them about hypotenuses but make them learn period math the hard way, like come on now

    People who think it’s appropriate to play loud music from their cars/stereos with a thumping bass. This irks me at any time of day, but especially when it wakes me up at 3:45 am 😴😡

    I was gonna say sorry but the sound system in my Laramie is stock and if it goes to 38 imma not waste the extra decibels. Then I saw 0345. Nope, not me.

    I do have some punk who rolls by doing that around 2000 each weeknight doing the same though. The ricer exhaust is what irks me.

    Kid with a mustang lives down the street, that stang is loud.
    I hear him get home everynight.
    For some reason I find it a little comforting.
    Maybe it reminds me of when my son was living at home, idk.
    My son had a rice burner (Honda Prelude) with the loud exhaust, lol.

    Depends,
