Random thing you loathe right now.

Don't hate the cake, hate the word ;)

I loathe that I can't find the clip of Barney Stinson saying the word moist over and over again as part of his one-man play to infuriate Lily.

Clothes shopping. I wasted too much time shopping over the weekend and didn't buy anything. I can find clothes I like but not in my size or I can find clothes in my size but not that I like. Finding work stuff is no problem but finding casual stuff I like is nearly impossible. Just because I am a bigger guy doesn't mean I want to dress in gross patterns or Hawaiian prints.

Poorly-written code.

I feel ya. Just bought HeroLab to help out with my Pathfinder characters, and the whole thing is just architected poorly.

Easy part: you start up, have to authenticate your account with a license key they email you, then choose the package you want to download. It downloads a file, you point the software to "import" the file, and you're all set.

Hard part: if you buy any additional data packages or add-ons, there's never a download link. Not in email, not in the product, not in the post-checkout process. In fact, no where in the post-checkout process do they tell you how to enable what you just purchased. What you have to do is inside the app, choose the "re-authenticate" your license, which reaches back to their servers and "unlocks" bits of whatever you have already downloaded.

And where do they tell you this? On the product gallery page, in not-so-obvious text that appears at the top of the page.

The whole UX just infuriated me.

Why not crib from Apple, and have "in-app purchases" that "automatically download and install"?
Why call it "re-authorize license" instead of "update with new purchases"?

Foggy, rainy, quiet Mondays at work when I don't feel like actually working.

Nothing ruins my day quite like a combination of sh*tty dreams and gloomy weather. They're two bad things that taste bad together.

What the hell, subconscious? I thought you were cool.

Just pretend that your subconscious is taking the opportunity to create your own little David Lynch movie.

Then you can say, "Thanks, subconscious! You are so cool!"

NO NO NO!!!

Why did I watch that? Why? What is the matter with me?

I knew it would be nasty, Trichy even said so, and yet I watched.

Imma go set my brain on fire. With actual fire.

Today I witnessed two of my peers cheating on an exam (getting multiple choice answers from each other after the exam time had ended but before their papers were collected). I reported this to the prof but as he did not witness it he can't do much about it (which makes sense otherwise you'd have people just reporting those they didn't like) except examine their two papers carefully when marking.

Their course credit, assuming they passed the rest of the exam and class, will be worth the same as all of us who didn't cheat.

The inevitable self doubt and loathing I will feel until I hear the results of a job interview.

I bet some time in the dandelion patch would help with that.

I love you guys.

So, today was our annual holiday potluck.

And, I loathed it. I will loathe it next year as well.

It is a potluck, so why loathe it? I know you are asking this question. Many already have.

Well, here is the source of loathe.

For the love of God, can someone please tell me why the people who never bring anything to the potluck are always the first in line and feel not a whit of guilt about piling their plates to the rafters?

Because they can't cook and this is the one of the few opportunities they'll have to eat something homemade?

Spoiler:

They don't even bring cookies or a pie? Seriously?

EDIT

And, yes, it sucks.

Secondhand bookshops that have shelves with two rows of books, one behind the other.

It's incredibly arduous to have to move every front book to see the book behind but at the same time there might be a treasure hidden back there. I generally do as many as I can stand and then live with the possibility I've missed something.

Grumble, grumble, grumble.

Netflix and YouTube videos are loading super slow for some reason. Maybe it's the wireless connection here at work, or maybe this is the beginning of the end of this old laptop. Either way, I want to watch Survivorman, dammit!

At my work the sign up sheet always has spots for people that can't cook. They can sign up to bring plates or silverware or just a bottle of soda or something.

Yep this. In the potluck culture over here, those that don't bring food, bring booze. Be it beer, wine or harder stuff, they usually end up spending more. And whatever remains can be divvy up among the rest.

I loathe potlucks. Now if I absolutely have to attend one, I do always bring something (normally pie), but I really don't enjoy them. I like hanging out with my colleagues over lunch - but I'd much rather to go a restaurant where we can sit down instead of standing awkwardly in the hallway with a plate of food, being made to feel guilty about the fact that I didn't cook anything. I can cook, I just prefer not to - we do all our cooking for the week in advance and spending time preparing something else for my colleagues is not my idea of a fun Tuesday night. Even if I do pick up something easy, I still have to A) remember to buy it and B) remember to bring it (not necessarily simple when I'm groggily stumbling out of the home in the morning). If I forget? More guilt. You know what's convenient for everyone? A restaurant. And yes, given how much my colleagues make, I know they can afford it.

Even the word "Potluck" sounds dumb. I hate 'em.

Strangely we had the opposite problem at our potluck last Friday. We had too much food and couldn't get some of the people who didn't bring anything to join in. Now I have used that excuse myself when none of the food looked/smelled good to me but we had some excellent brisket, my killer black bean chili, and some banana pudding that was better than any I have had in over a decade (basically since my grandmother passed away). Plus some other stuff of course but those were the real stand-outs.

I always avoid the company potlucks. I can't cook, and I'm picky about food anyway.

Today's ridiculously minor loathe: Spelling Disney World as Disneyworld.
