I think I pulled a back muscle today at work. I’m hoping the pain subsides by the end of the weekend. Starting Monday I’ll be off from my primary job for 4 days and I’d rather spend those days doing something other than being in pain.

Not so much angry, just baffled...
Found the version of Oregon Trail I played when I was a kid, haven't touched it since I was probably 11, so I figured I'd give it a go.
Was the Banker since I usually did that when I was young, bought everything. Changed my pace to grueling.
Get to the first river on Day 3...the river is 4.8 feet deep...I think I can ford that.
Wagon sinks...all 4 members of my party are drown and 15 of the 20 oxen are dead. What.
Literally 20 seconds in and my entire life is ruined.

Dying from drowning seems preferable to dying from Dysentery.

The person who lives a floor down from me decided to start playing loud music at night again. So at about 1am I bang on the floor and then I get to hear him rant and rave for a good 20 minutes, after turning the music up for a bit. Good times.

I hope this was some kind of accident and not a result of a student doing something to you to try to hurt you on purpose... because if it was; that would make me think about finding a different line of work! Hang in there. I hope you make a speedy and full recovery.

So I've been dating my girlfriend for 4 months now. This past week, I thought we were progressing nicely. Last weekend, I invited her to spend the weekend at my family's property outside of the city. Yesterday was her birthday. I really put in a lot of effort for her special day. On top of paying for dinner, I wore a nice button-up shirt that she liked, got her a card & tea mug for a gift & I baked her cupcakes. The first two hours were great (she was affectionate, laughing and generally having a good time).
In the last hour, she was quiet & distant. I asked her if she had a long day & if everything was alright, and she told me she was fine. When we texted each other, she never sent a good night kiss (She would give me crap if I slipped & didn't send her a goodnight kiss). I texted her today to see how she's doing and she asked to meet tomorrow to talk. Not a good sign.
I guess my effort yesterday to show her how special she was to me alone didn't cut it. I can only suspect that something was bottling up and whatever I said or did yesterday broke the camel's back. Regardless, the anxiety is killing me. I wish we could get it over with whatever she wants to talk about.

I was at a store earlier today and everywhere I looked there was clothes on the floor. I had to pick up a dozen pieces of clothing and put them back on the rack.
If you're not going to buy something, put it back where you found it after you're done, don't just leave it on the floor like a slob.

Well my day was ridiculous
Student kicked me in bad knee, spit at me, threw part of his lunch at me & got chalk all over my shirt. part of that was the heat.... some of these kids do not respond well if they overheated.
2 kids were messing around with each other all day long.
8 of them just wouldn't listen.
1 of them literally eats anything off the floor because he doesn't know any better.
1 screams ......... a lot, and did so right in my face when I was trying to zip his pants and snap his jeans closed before we left for buses... so he left with an unbuckled jeans.
2 needed to have long breaks in the room next door to calm down.
7 more school days

And that is why by the time I was 15 I knew I didn't want to be a teacher. Shit pay and kids back when I was in school were horrible assholes. I can imagine how bad they are now.

Hoo-boy, where do we begin?
Well today was the day I finally decided, F the game show fandom. Well not ALL of them, but sadly, the best known community is filled with smartass bullies who'll make you feel small if they don't like what you say or if you ask the wrong question. And to be honest, I think there is an ableist atmosphere there. It's a shame, as said community has people who were involved with the genre, or were long time fans who know a lot of information about game shows.
I told them off likewise, and logged off the group. Probably for good.
Oh why are like all my hobbies infested with a-hole fans to some degree?

Wrestling Revolver is doing their debut Texas show the same night Bleeding Through and Unearth are playing across town, and BT may not play Texas again.

At my work we have a program to recognize people who excel at their jobs. A few weeks back, the Director of Manufacturing told me that he was nominating me for one of these awards. Today they sent out the notification. There was my name, and the category I won for and what I did to deserve it. There was a full paragraph that began, “Brian has done an amazing job of maintaining the equipment in (department)”.
BUT
My name is not Brian. I do not have anything to do with equipment. I don’t even work in the department they listed.
It took all of ten seconds to go from a pat on the back to a slap in the face.

There is an outage that’s been going on in my office for three days. On one hand it means a day of doing little more than browsing the web on my phone, not like we can get anything done. On the other, it makes the days drag like a snail on meth.

I’ve spent the day watching cricket from behind a pillar that obscured the bowler’s run up/wicketkeeper and slips at one end, sat next to a man who was actually in my seat but who I didn’t say anything to because I assumed it wouldn’t have made much of a difference to my view and I didn’t want to make a fuss. Now he’s left and I sat in my actual seat.
Turns out it did.
