First World Problems

NEFARIOUS · 06-04-2014, 12:23 AM

After working for 2 micromanagers in a row, I have landed a gig that gives me objectives and freely lets me finish the task at hand. It's great in theory, but sometimes I frickin' get confused and sometimes paranoid that I would either stop what I'm doing and wait for a new task to do since my last 2 jobs didn't like people having initiative too much, or anticipate for my boss to march in and stand over my shoulder or take over my screen with TeamViewer, get on the intercom and take 45 minutes a "perfecting" 2-paragraph letter

... I feel like one of those refugees from North Korea that has $200 in their wallet is still eating tree bark to survive since they don't know that food is freely available.

In other words...

Just ran into my EX girlfriend during lunch after 5years of no contact. Damn she is freakin HOT. I hate her.

My nurse needs soldiers for her "clash of clans" game and I don't play that game.

Just had a meeting to discuss our next meeting.

I lost my supermarket keytag (courtesy card). Normally I'd get a new one, but I have gas rewards on it. Luckily, nobody used it to get $1.40/gal. off, and I was able to get to the station and fill-up at $1.949 yesterday. I couldn't sleep the last few days thinking how easily someone could have just picked it up and bought discounted gas with it.

Love those "offline" meetings.

We have a plant-wide meeting today. Means I have to leave my desk and A/C and go stand outside.

My iPhone 4 won't stream porn videos any more

Vending machine just ripped me off another $1.00. To date this machine owes me roughly four thousand dollars.

I have items which are unmentionable on E90post. I belong to a forum where I cannot mention these unmentionables or share my enthusiasm for them with other members.

Well we know it isn't Scotch.

Joekerr · 06-07-2014, 01:44 PM

Lol - Hint: Its the original point and click interface. At least that's how I think you Americans describe it.

But I really liked the guesses above - pretty funny!

John 070 · 06-08-2014, 12:02 PM

my neighbor can DVR 12 shows at the same time, we can only do 10

M_Six · 06-08-2014, 01:57 PM

Wow, I can only do 2. I have a 3rd World DVR, I guess.
