I rode my motorcycle to the gas station in my beautiful tank top and sweat pants...,


first world problem...., they didn't even have a fucking attendant to pump my petrol....? Really? I had to do it myself?

[UncleWede]

You pay for that petrol with your BaconAmericard?

The rewards program is so meaty and full of benefits, I would have been a Canadian to pass it up!




..., oh shit..., what did I just start. Probably nothing. Canads are too nice.






JK Canadia. JK.

That's not my driver nor my chauffeur....that's the firm's driver and vehicle. It's self insured so I'm not even sure what they have.

I will say this, though, one of my officemates who used the car last had the back seat pushed up so far and the seatback nearly upright. It's common courtesy that when you are done riding in the car, you move the seat back into a position that would be suitable for most (must have been someone 4'11") Last thing I want to do is start a video conference and have people see me fiddling with power seat controls....

You have to share the car? What kind of 2-bit, second rate outfit do you work for?

Times have changed. I have to go to the big D at the end of the month. Wouldn't you know one of the owners is taking the jet to Burlington, VT that day? Why not take the other driver and car? Now I get to go on a commercial jet with all the other riff raff in first class

What sort of maniacal job do you work???

I'm a personal shopper. It sounds like a cake job, but people are very demanding. When you get the band size wrong on someone's brand new Seamaster Aqua Terra, they totally flip out like it's a problem that can't be solved (some cannot even wait until the next business day). The job security is limitless, however, thanks to the 2014 bonuses having been distributed....

My work is sending me to Chicago tomorrow for a few days. Instead of getting me a car, I have to be picked up by someone, then use a cab...., that I will end up expensing and it will be more than if they just got me a car.



They always got me a car before. I asked and he said "Well, you'll be right next to the plant so you don't need one since we got you a ride from the airport".


WTF?

Plus you're missing out on the good weather. Sunny and mid-60's in Chicago today. Tomorrow it drops to the 40's for a few days.

Where in Chicago is your plant?

Times have changed....I remember the silliness pre 2009. 4 people, 4 rental cars, 4 hotel rooms. Per diem was $150, and you had 4 people turning in expense reports of $600/day listing the other 3 as meals and entertainment (it didn't add up). Now they put four of us in one room with two full or queen beds, guys and gals....cost cutting

My idiot neighbor has been leaf blowing his tiny yard for 2 hours now. The leaves are soaked and he's trying to get a big pile of them to move. He'd have been done an hour ago if he used a rake. Of course the asshat doesn't care that the damn thing is noisy as hell and is ruining the first evening we've had this year to open the windows.

This is the same idiot whose yard is surrounded by an ugly chain link fence to keep his yappy dogs from running away. WTF is wrong with people like this?

Sounds like you need to upgrade neighborhood/neighbors.

My first world problem is that I have 2 HOAs to pay for my house, but they wouldn't allow a chain link fence.

True. Someplace where everyone uses a lawn service. The crew I use clears my yard in less than 30 minutes, and I have twice as much area to clear as Mr. Leafblower.

Family Guy ruined Mila Kunis for me. Every time I hear her speak, no matter the role, I always think of Meg Griffin and that ugly beanie hat. Damn you, Macfarlane. Damn you.

Good Indian place near the Schaumburg mall if you're into Indian cuisine. Right across from the BMW dealer.

Unfortunately I didn't. Myself and a couple guys ended up at the Tilted Kilt because it was within walking distance, and that was probably more than I needed that night lol.
