Random thing you loathe right now.

Should you end up stuck sleeping in a room with them be sure to be extra careful with where you stash your bags,books, magazines... oh hell just be mindful of where you're putting everything. Stash it all in the bathtub if there's nowhere better. In the morning brush yourself off, if you wear pajamas either don't or give them a thorough brush off and stick them in a tightly sealed plastic bag(if available) until you get the chance to run them through a hot dryer.

The hotel should be doing their damnedest to help you find an infestation free room, if not in their establishment then elsewhere.

If despite your best efforts you end up with the misfortune of finding some at home later then see my ridiculously long post here; The methodology described therein has been successfully applied in at least four situations with no recurrence yet reported in any of them.

Been there, done that, never again. We check every room whenever we stay anywhere now... one hitchhiker turned into a nightmare that ended with a full-apartment thermal treatment.

Sundays without football. The offseason sucks when you only really have interest in one sport. On the bright side, there is only about a week until people start showing up for the combine.

Oi. Thanks for reminding me I have to do mine.

What? Combine? Half Life? An actual combine machine? What are you about? I needs knowing!

I'm talking about the NFL combine where football coaches and GMs annually converge on Indianapolis to evaluate the year's potential draftees. Nothing Half-life related at all.

I've finally moved into my new apartment, which is a love! But the internet won't be connected there for a couple of weeks... urrrrrrgh...

A couple of weeks? What the hell is the matter with your internet providers?

It's Australia. They probably have to fight off the koalas, wallabies, and of course the deadly dropbears to get it all set up.

Man, either Thomas decided to discontinue their corn english muffins, or everyone around here decided to stop selling them. I really loved those things.

Just been a Hellish week. Girlfriend is up north for work, the Internet is really bad there so I can't really talk to her, puppy has been a terror (he's freaked out because she's gone and is he's entering puberty), work has been insane and dumb bureaucratic bullsh*t is preventing us hiring the new IT person we desperately need, the house is a disaster (in no small part because of the puppy) and I have no time to clean, I had to work both days this weekend and leave the puppy alone for that whole time, he was a complete stressball terror at obedience school today and I have to head back to the site we integrated tomorrow morning for the day. And it's across town. And it's supposed to be freezing rain. And my boss has to have dental surgery tomorrow, the day after we integrated a new office. Yeah, Hellish week.

What dhelor said. But I'm mostly hoping that's a conservative estimate, and I'll get it a fair bit earlier. 2 weeks is going to be a struggle otherwise.

Thankfully the internet at work is just fine.

You should learn how you can sleep, eat, shower and manage your laundry while at work. At least until they get the internet working at your home.

I am very jealous of my wife. Her life has not had nearly as many trials, tribulations, and hardships as I have. There are times I wonder how much we truly have in common. Last night I realized just how unfair and how privileged she is. She will never know the suffering that i had to go through that she is immune to. It just is not fair she got to skip 2 seasons of Voyager and just watch the finale last night, and not suffer the dragging on of 2 useless seasons.

How the littlest things can completely crash my mood.

You think you've got it bad? Pft. My wife never saw any of the Star Wars movies, and thus, was completely unperturbed by the existence of The Phantom Menace.

Hmm. We just got our cable bill and they're increasing our monthly rate by $5 (again). Oh, and APPARENTLY we're actually getting a NEW channel for once instead of losing one. But...

It's OWN. Frick.

Have fun!

Right now I loathe my neighbor, who has decided that he needs to cut up the wood in his back yard.

At 8:30 p.m.

On a school night.

With a chain saw.

Can't say I feel any better going outside and yelling at him. But at least he turned off the damned saw.

Having a bad day mentally.

For some reason I woke up at 3:40am and my brain was just going mental. It's was a real out-of-body sensation, it's the second time I've had this feeling in the last couple of months and it's quite disorienting. Didn't get back to sleep for an hour or so.

It's put me ill-at-ease all day

Going to bed earlier. Granted, it's for the purpose of recovering from lifting better, and granted, I really don't have anything else to do this evening that requires I stay awake. But still. Nothing like a grand total of four hours to myself outside of work.

F*CK I hate what this commute does to me.

Sleep paralysis. I don't hate a lot of things, but that's one of those things. I suppose I don't mind when I'm actually asleep, but it's completely different when I'm awake and my whole body is paralyzed.

I got a haircut on Saturday to help control the craziness that is my hair. The stylist straightened and made everything look under control. It lasted until this morning, and I'm right back to looking like I don't comb it. This is after spending a good 20 minutes this morning trying to fix it.

...I'm just going to go bald, I think.

People who touch my computer. Oh gosh, how I loathe that. They pull on the keyboard, pound on the mouse, and rummage around in my stuff.

Do it. Get a set of clippers, buzz that dome, never look back. Cheap, easy, and attractive if you're head isn't horribly misshapen.

DON'T TOUCH MY GODDAMN MONITOR! You know how your fingers are good at pointing? DO THAT.

Yeeeaaah, I actually did shave my head once--it wasn't pretty. Plus I think doing it again with the scar I have won't be doing me any favors. Except making me look like an escaped mental patient

I'm in the same boat! I want to shave my head but have a scar ear to ear due to being grabbed with the foreceps incorrectly when I was born and cracking my skull. It would be a good conversation piece but after awhile I think I would get sick of it
