It finally dropped below 100 degrees outside for a few days. Now the A/C here in my bedroom at work is out..........damnit! I hope they have it fixed by Wednesday when the temp goes back up. Guess I'll actually spend the weekend sleeping at my apartment.
Had an important package shipped in from China due today which I have been waiting for - cancelled my appointments since I knew it was due to be delivered today and wanted to be around to receive it - found an email that had arrived about half an hour ago claiming "Attempted delivery, premises closed".
Upon phoning the customer service line, I found out for some unknown reason the courier driver had tried to deliver the package to the landlords office, which was closed at the time but is also not even in the same building. Needless to say I was pissed. Hoping they can redeliver it today since I REALLY need the package and it was the couriers incompetence that lead to the issue.
Yay for corporate department! They organised a re-delivery and my package just recently arrived.
Never put passion before principle. Even if you win, you lose.
If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
I have been awake since Monday, June 24th at noon. This is going to match real well with my summer classes, I can feel it.
Ah that's not so bad, when you get to Wednesday we'll swap notes!
I strongly suggest not staring at screens for about a good hour before you go to sleep, and in investing in Chamomile tea, and sip that while eating something warm and not too heavy on the gut (buttered toast is great) as you settle down in bed.

Unf. Another group of volunteers today, only this time no one knew about them. I've spent all morning running around like a maniac. On top of that, two of our agencies forgot to place orders for perishables again, so it's gonna be a fun day loading them up as we weigh, sort, and pack the 1500lbs of food they're expecting to get even though they didn't ask for.
I broke my thumb the day before Valentine's day, and in an effort to get patched up and working as soon as possible, used my own insurance for my initial doctor visits. Both the hospital staff and my boss assured me everything would be taken care of by the workers' comp insurance once we got our claim in, and that my personal insurance would be reimbursed.
Fast forward to now, and my accounts are being sent to a collection agency.
The DON at the place I work was sacked, causing havoc with the nursing schedule (as they were both the person in charge of that, and one of the nurses on said schedule). We're shorthanded in various other ways, with a bad staffing crunch happening about once a week or so. The woman who is in charge of (and indeed does) most of the restocking is away on vacation until whenever - so we're constantly having to dig around to find things we need, or having to trek out to the back storage area, which involves tracking down a badge that can open it, and walking all the way around the outside of the building. We have students in the building, but not on my shift meaning that there isn't ever any parking avalible when I get to work. Period, I have to wait for someone to leave and am therefore always 2-3 minutes late (I talked to my supervisor about this one, and he said that's fine, thank god). Annnnd, state examiners are swarming us - possibly (and in some cases, certainly) in connection with the above issues.
Already, a bunch of issues are cropping up and state is asking us a lot of really pointed questions about staffing and things like shower schedules, and everyone's in a bad mood/high strung. For the most part, all of my immediate coworkers and supervisors are both competent and friendly, so I don't expect any fire to rain down on us directly. However, something's clearly about to happen - hopefully for the better.

Don't listen to Mork. Continue with the non-sleeping. Maybe one day you'll get your own Tyler Durden

I don't think I'll be sleeping with the nightmare I had.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
Taking a break from Lusternia to play more D3, why the hell did I think this was a good idea?
1-100 in Lusty is nothing compared to the soul crushing grind that is 1-100 Paragon levels in D3. Considering you have to grind 60 normal levels first, I just spent the entire day going from level 6 to level 10.

So, yeah. I finally found a laptop that I like. It's lightly used, good stats from what I can tell, and only 450, and it's local.
Sometime between when I contacted the woman and this morning, she pawned the laptop, and this Friday when I hand her the 450, she can get it out of pawn and give it to me.

I'm moving house. This will be the 7th house in the 6 years we've been in Ireland. Hopefully this will be the one we settle in. I really really dislike moving now.

Play Lusternia? Lol nope, 10 second lag delay and random disconnects. -.-

Yes that is definitely something worth visiting a doctor over.
