Went to lunch today and the guy at the next table was either getting fired or turned down for a job. Made me sad panda. I wanted to give him a hug because he sounded so dejected. The only reason I heard given was because of where he'd worked before. Sounded like a bullshit excuse to me.

Since Google acquired YouTube or whatever I have to log in and out to keep my accounts separate.
Like I'm in Conefed mode on Tubes and RealName for Google Docs, but if I use either, the other will switch to conform. Then I have to signout then in and back back refresh. Not difficult, but a pain.

Use different browsers. This sort of thing is the primary reason I have both firefox and chrome loaded. I even use internet exploder for some of my gmail accounts.

I didn't do anything different, but it randomly started working. I now have both realname and Conefed running around without forced logouts.

Getting stressed about holiday shopping. I think that's as first world as it fucking gets.

But seriously, I think the majority of Americans are in the second world.
The third world is people who live in their own shit, don't have electricity, do menial shity tasks all day, consider late 40's old age, have no healthcare to speak of, and almost zero leisure time.
The first world is the ultra rich. People who live in mansions, work because they want to, can afford extravagant vacations, own yachts, and have lives that would make for interesting lifestyle television episodes.
The rest of us are in the middle. Second worlders: we don't live in shit, we have free time, we can afford high tech gizmos, and have access to healthcare. But we HAVE to work. We can live in lavish homes, but they're owned by the bank for 30 or so years as we slowly pay them down. We don't have shitty back breaking jobs, but none of us are really more than a few months (maybe a year or two) of not working away from being homeless. We can take vacations, but we have to scrounge and save for them and they're NOTHING like what the ultra rich do.

Sure. We're probably WAY closer to first world then we are third world. But we ain't in either category. Not really.

Priority overnight shipping means I shouldn't have to wait more than one night!

Khols sent me a pair of kid jeans, I have no kids yet. It was misdirected from some lady that bought it for her granddaughter 2miles away.

I only called cause I thought it was fraud, they wanted my phone number, I said why???

They wanted to mail me a upstanding slip to repackage it and give to a ups driver.

I said do I have to be there for a ups driver to pick up from home? Yes, then no

Then she said I could just bring it to a khols, I said, I have to take time out of my schedule to be your delivery man?

Then she asked me to deliver it to the correct person instead, bitch what's wrong with you? I ain't going to no strangers house.

I told her to refund this lady, call her up and apologize, and I'll give these jeans to some neighborhood kid.

Probably didn't help that it was indian service, I hate those workers.

Get an upgraded work computer and all the default settings are ass backwards and unintuitive. Spent 80% of the day fixing and searching for fixes, because the menu system is junk.

My boss is the extra special kind of complete fucking idiot who deliberately makes sure I have more work to do and less time to do it, and then bitches at me for being in too big of a hurry.

I bought a new TV so now I have a 40" gaming monitor, kindasorta, but I need to find good colour settings and it's a bit large to put on the desk and sit 4' away from. I also had to rearrange stuff on my desk to make it fit.

In my experience it's difficult to get the color just right compared to a legit monitor. You grow used to whatever you can get close though.

Yeah I got kind of close to an acceptable picture. Letters are a bit shit though.
Guess I shouldn't use WoW to adjust the picture and use a 1080p porn instead. Much easier to know the intended colour.
