Hubby asked me where I wanted to go to dinner tonight, I responded "Ruby Tuesdays in Miami." It is warm there and they have yummy ribs. I did not like his response too much.
No, stay at work. It'll be warmer. Here's where you can go on ranting: This time of year, if you go to the Big Box Stores to buy a heater to tide you over, you'll have to wait forever for the clerk to fetch the mechanical lift to get it out of top stock. That is, if they still have it.
Oh good grief. I just looked out the window and it's snowing. Hard, fast, and deep. It's April in the Northern Hemisphere. It's supposed to be spring, people, spring!!!!
You want to wallow in First World Problems? Get hold of a gadget catalogue. How did we ever survive without Solar Powered Bug Zappers that Look Good on the Table? Or Electric Egg Cookers? Or a Wooden Lavatory Seat With The Luxury of Soft-Close?
I have a a heated toilet seat with automatic, powered opening and closing and a heated spray system for washing what needs washing. No opening and closing the seat or using toilet paper like some kind of goddamn savage for me, thank you.
Now here's a real First World Problem. You are sitting on your heated toilet seat with automatic powered opening and closing and a heated spray system and no toilet paper ...and you suddenly have a really juicy sneeze. And you're in your PJs, and you don't have a tissue with you. How do you blow your nose, if you don't have toilet roll? Hm? Crafty inventors don't think of everything, do they?
I've just thought "Hey, what about a nice cup of chocolate milk?" So I use the last of my milk to make some, put it in the microwave (yeah, I know) and it turns into some kind of mucous milk-chocolate-slop. Wtf. Now my gluttonous brain and stomach demand I go outside and get new milk. It's my day off
There was an X-Files episode where the guy crawled and hid in the outhouse. It still give me nightmares. Portable outhouses were set up at the soccer field where my daughter use to play. I would drive to the corner coffee ship and use the rest room there. That episode had no effect on me at all....
Heres a first world problem - the Wifi card in my laptop has died completely, so I've had to move the living room arround to sit next to the router and use an ethernet cable. The suffering ... my only other option would have been to go upstairs and use the iMac, or to use my ipad ... I mean how an i expected to work in these conditions
My favourite Chinese Restaurant which was family owned was bought by a big chain. There goes the neighbourhood...
It’s 40ºF outside and it’s April 8th!! Like seriously, weather, FFS, it’s usually supposed to be mildly warm or hot by this point around my part of the world! I blame global warming. >:[
I'm curious... did the chain buy the business to keep it as is? Or are they just swapping their concept into the location? Either way, the owners probably made out fairly well. Especially if they owned the building. Coincidentally, my first restaurant job when I was 17 was in a Chinese joint, and the couple that owned it just retired after something like 35 years. And there isn't a night that goes by when I don't hear the voice of the woman, Mrs. "Wong," screaming in my head. My favorites were: "Use two hands! You go faster!" (when sorting silverware) "Take care of customers seated first!" (when working the door) "I don't care what you think!" (pretty much whenever) "You young! You work faster!" (when I deal with the bus-kids) "You no want work restaurants! You go to school! You become doctor!" (every time I step in the building) I still stop in to say hi whenever I go home to see the folks. And twenty-two years later she still says, "I told you to be doctor!"
