After today the next time I have two days off in a row is on April 5th. During the Easter weekend I'm working Good Friday, Easter Saturday, and Easter Monday. I'd probably be in on Sunday too if my work building was open.
I also bit the inside of my lip very hard a few weeks ago and I now have a mucocele, which is extremely annoying.

Bought a new mouse 8 days ago and it's already went to poop. If I got to do anything with small movement it acts sluggish. Annoying but could work with it. Now it's just randomly warping around every like 20 seconds. Tried to make a Photoshop and I legit could not do it and spend more time fixing the problems it caused than the art itself. Went back to my old one. That's $60 I'm not getting back.

If the other is working, it shouldn't but maybe try the mouse on another surface and see if it improves?

Not religious, but I joined my parents for the Easter sunrise service anyways because I know they like thinking my atheism is still just a 16 year phase, and I may not have that much time left with them.
That part went fine, then afterwards we go out to breakfast with a couple of their friends, who immediately begin talking about upcoming events in November and how my country better "get it right this time" or the "real fight" is going to start.
Held my tongue because if I call the guy a dipshit, then I'm the asshole ruining Easter breakfast.
So, the day is off to a good start.

I have so much I would love to say on the topic, but I’ll restrict it to being dismayed at how many people are chomping at the bit to have even the flimsiest excuse to murder people who don’t 100% agree with them. Sad to say, it doesn’t even sound like it is limited to any one country.

In about 40 minutes I have to get ready for work after a much needed vacation. Less angry, more I don't want to go.

Once again, idiot brother is trying to bully our mother into signing up for section 8, because "it would help him". Idiot brother also just bought a new car and he and sister-in-law are planning to buy an expensive wraparound couch, while entitled nephew doesn't pay rent whatsoever on what I've termed the "money pit palace" up the hill. Meanwhile, the back door here doesn't even lock fully since he had one of his useless fly-by-night "friends" attempt to fix it, there's no back steps whatsoever, and the backyard's the most overgrown thing imaginable since he never fixed it after one of his past get rich quick schemes, hemp growing, failed because as usual he didn't want to put in the work. The last two he's been lying that he'd do something about for years at this point.
The shit I deal with on a regular basis. This moron fancies himself a landlord.

Not angry more confused.
I have two roommates. One who I’ve known for twenty plus years then the newer roommate.
The new guy complained to the other one that I keep the kitchen clean.
He gets upset because I won’t keep his dirty pots and pans on the stove.
Just what the hell!

Just learned that a mass shooting occurred at another mall in the area. That’s the second one in as many years that I sometimes go to that has been shot up like that. Of course, nothing will be done about it despite most of the victims were minors this time.

Just got off the phone with my supervisor, our co-worked got suspended over an incident with a patient. He accused her of calling him a "piece of shit", when it was him who said it about her. This patient has been an issue for quite some time, but the nursing staff is "too busy" to document his behavior. Today, he called the advocate for patients and reported her. The kicker is, there was an incident with them back in February and the charge nurse said he would document it, but didn't, while the nursing director dismissed it as "her provoking him". So needless to say, I'm pretty pissed off right now.

From last night…
A big supermarket having no checkout operators and only self service tills. Yes, it was Friday night. Yes, the supermarket wants to save money so won’t necessarily employ full staff, but if you’re open 24/7 then at least have some of the tills manned!

We just laid a bunch of people off. Officially it's temporary, but realistically, I think I'll never see several of them again. One of the positions that has never been affected by layoffs was this time which added to the concern. Now morale is in the shitter, I've lost a significant part of my crew, many of whom I like and everyone else is worried about their job.
