My old boss that now works for home office keeps feeding me corporate horse shit when I tell him how crappy things are in my store. Like literally I’m 100% positive my current boss only has his position as some kind of horrible bet between his superiors. Then again I feel the same way about most of corporate. They don’t know shit about the restaurant business. Assholes wanna only care about numbers? Fine. Wonder how much it costs to replace all of the managers and other employees that said this company can eat a dick and bolted. Only damn qualification you need to manage or bartend is to have a pulse.

Started the process of buying a house back in March. From the beginning, I was told I’ll only need about 2k out of pocket, everything else will be covered in seller credits. Paid 2k in escrow money, inspection and appraisal. Thought that was my 2k out of pocket. Was told I should walk out of closing with $1000 in my pocket as opposed to having to bring anything. Loan estimate showed $6,100 in closing, but with the seller credit of $7,500, it all made sense to me, I’d walk out with 1k left of the credit.
Seller credit got cut in half during negotiations. So now I’m thinking I need $3,500 for closing. Fine. Not what I wanted to do, but whatever.
Closing is tomorrow. I get the final disclosure and my lawyer says I’ll need $9,500 in closing costs! I call the lender who was that amount is correct.
Apparently the $6,100 I saw on the loan estimate was AFTER the seller credit, and with it cut in half, it’s now up to $9,500!!! The whole time I was told I was going to pay nothing at closing, and WALK OUT WITH MONEY, but it was all bullshit fed to me in lines over the phone but NEVER put down in an email or text. Luckily I chose to forgo paying bills last week and luckily my BOSS offered to loan me another $1k to cover after I had a full blown panic attack in front of them, otherwise not only would I not be able to close on my house, but I would also still need to be out of my rental at the end of the month.

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. Any updates to this bro? She just hates my gift.

More sad than angry, but one day removed from posting in the "happy" thread about discovering that an old friend with whom I had lost touch was now a fairly well-known character actress, I learned that another old friend with whom I've lost touch over the years, stand-up comic Larry Garza, passed away back in February. RIP Larry, and f*** cancer.

My neighbours are extremely f***ing inconsiderate, and have had their massive industrial extractor fan since about 8am today. Their bins are also open and filthy and for that reason my house is currently full of flies. Every summer it's the same.
And I'm not sure this has made me angry, but I've managed to get dragged into a drama at work and have to act as the neutral party in a disciplinary hearing. Both sides are wrong: senior management are being heavy handed over a mistake that was mostly rectified, but the guy on the receiving end has frankly had a very long rope and has done a couple of things that would probably have resulted in anyone else being given their marching orders. It's making people very stressed.

Mother asked me to set up her new cell phone. Easy I assume,it is a Jitterbug flipphone.
Get it out. Grab the simple set up directions. "Turn on phone and the on screen directions will lead you through each step."
Ok cool. Turn on phone and see it has 3% battery. Run extension cord from outlet across the floor. HOok phone up to charge. "Step 1 starting Please wait" screen says.
45 minutes later screen flashes. "Phone must be fully charged to set up."
Ok I get they can't ship the battery for it fully charged. But TELL ME ON THE DAMN SET UP SHEET HEY ASSHAT CHARGE THIS FOR A DAY BEFORE TURNING IT ON!!!
The cell sits in my front room charging and tomorrow I will again attempt to set it up.

Grocery store worker standing up the line at the pharmacy, too busy talking and joking with the pharmacist to notice or care about the growing line of people waiting behind him.

Not truly something that happened today but it has been pissing me off for years and every time I think about it. No matter how I construct my messages, they usually end up being intended in a different way. Sometimes, I feel my six years of learning English go straight to the drain. Maybe I'm a little resentful because I had a First Certificate of English exam and I didn't reach the enough points to pass the exam. I think it was just three points.

Spent a couple hours in the Emergency Operations Center today for a missing 11 year old boy who was found in his own house playing his XBOX.
Every goddamn year we go thru a training and the first thing you do is check the house. Of course nobody in this braindead town checked the house and just believed the father (who was pretty damn drunk at the time) who said the boy ran away. Everybody wanted to be the goddamn hero that rescued the boy from wolves/bears/molesters/bigfoot. Nobody on site followed basic protocal.
We "found" the boy when an off duty dispatcher noticed that her kid was playing online games with his buddy, the missing child. What a colossal waste of time and money.

So I generally have two accounts on most social media sites. ayumidah for personal stuff. corneroffandom for writing stuff. I started doing a weekly update on how my writing was doing including word counts, and I post it from ko-fi to Tumblr, to twitter. Never had a problem. Then I thought a few weeks back I could start putting it on my instagram account, which I've had since 2017 and never use because I'm not big on pictures or videos. So, screengrab the tumblr post, put the image on Instagram, go about my day.
Try to go to Instagram last night and they tell me they've suspended my account for violating their TOS by stealing other people's posts and uploading it as my own. So now I have to contest the ban and wait for them to investigate to see if I get my account back. Over stealing my own post because they don't realize that CoF is me. Tsk!

Yesterday the Mailman had a brain fart and thought that next doors general waste bin was a good and safe place to put a parcel when I was out.
It's a f***ing bin you stupid sod.

we get an actual old fashioned milk delivery 2 nights a week, and whoever did it last night didn't take the old milk bottles away, but I did wake up this morning to the sound of some shitty teenagers grabbing 2 of them and throwing them at the metal sculpture on the grass next to my front door, so I had to pick all that up before my neighbour let his dog out for the morning.

I made the stupid decision to try the AEW game.
Sat down at my PS4, and literally everything but the menu screen makes it crash.
Sat down at my PS5, and it works fine, except it might be the worst game I've ever played. Literally everything about it is just poor. It's SO unbelievably bad, like it was designed by people who have never seen wrestling or made a video game before.
And honestly, it just pisses me off more watching people trying to claim it's good while clearly just saying it out of either blind loyalty to the brand or as a way to cope with the fact that they got swindled.
This is the first game I have ever tried to get a refund for, and I've been a gamer since the NES days. Pure, unadulterated trash.
