stupid first world problems you're dealing with

That's exactly the sort of thing that worries me too. I had to convince him to go to a doctor to make sure he's okay. He's the type that wouldn't go to a hospital unless he's got a open wound.

Back on topic:

I have a hankering (and the fixins) for pancakes but no goddamn syrup.

lol. my dad was having a heart attack (albeit a mild one) on the golf course with his mates so he excused himself and drove 30 miles to the hospital whilst struggling for breath and almost passing out. he didn't want to ruin their game!

Potential solution - a nice berry preserve. Alternatively, send one of the help to buy some syrup?

if it had been different it would make for a great post in this thread:

mate here is having a heart attack and won't let us play golf

i find eating pate on crackers an irritating experience.

By far the best FWP yet!!!!

i have the funds for burgers. i have a boss that will let me go get burgers. burgers are being made 200 yards away from where i sit.

i'm so hungry that i'm a little nauseous. not sure if i should go get a burger.

So how were the burger(s). Did you buy a super-sized drink before they get outlawed?

I want to go see Def FX and Insurge tonight but it seems none of my friends are interested in Australian 90s light industrial band revival gigs anymore.

..and i hate going to gigs by myself!

pomegranate juice + vodka tastes like really bad, cheap tomato juice

or an even worse bloody mary...

edit: btw i put pate in a sandwich with a load of other stuff, and yeah, it was fine

Considering he lives in the country with the least accessible health system in the world, I understand him.

I'm going to a fair where the primary attraction is the rides with someone who gets motion sick really easily and won't go on rides. It's okay though, because I'll still enjoy the irony (even if it's not technically irony since it'll be exactly what I expect). My new FWP is that there isn't a word for that version of irony that everyone tosses around that isn't actually irony. It's so common there should really be a word for it, or some catchy phrase... or an umlaut over the o. Can we make that a thing? The iröny of that would be that the pronunciation would remian the same.

Drank until 8AM last night and slept 3 hours then had a bunch of relatives visit and cannot figure out how to make my brain nap. Laying for an hour with eyes closed tired as fuck and not falling asleep sucks. Usually meditation works for me in these situations but my brain doesn't like that when hung over.

I just got my first ever pair of corrective eyeglasses, and although I can see a lot better now, I'm not sure if I need to modify the standard configuration of my facial expressions so as not to look douchey, because i just feel like I'm doing this all the time

everyone wants to have a little sprockets in them

Got a small promotion at work two weeks ago, still haven't seen my meager raise.

IS it one of those promotions where they give you more work? Maybe accounts didn't get the memo from HR. If you're one pay in already i'd say something as the only reason you go to work is cause they pay you to be there. Pay is a basic work thing (sorry brain shutting down).

I got really sick yesterday after getting together with family to honour my gram (she passed away Tuesday).

Being sick, I ended up taking medicine. Apparently it was too much and the dxm kept me up all night in a sweat.

Too much medicine = first world problem...?

It's just moving to a different area of the store (I was a cashier at walmart, now I'm at the money center which is basically a money order/ check cashing thing). Theoretically I'll get more hours because there's only a few people in that area, but it's nothing guaranteed... I finally got it taken care of, but I had to hound my managers every time I saw them.

Current first world problem: I won't have the money to pay the sales tax on my car this paycheck and my temporary tags expire three days before I get paid again, which means I'll be driving an unlicensed vehicle for a few days.

After two weeks on strike it looks like I have to go back to work tomorrow. FML

I drove my '88 Honda Accord around for close to two years like this. It was so old and had so many things wrong with it I knew it would never pass an inspection. The only thing is long after I got rid of that car, I still occasionally drive like I'm avoiding the police. I know all the back routes to get to places. I drove like that for so long sometimes I have to tell myself, "relax, there's nothing wrong with your car now and they can't ticket you for anything".

Sorry to hear, man. :\

Pinched a nerve in my shoulder on friday. It's been nothing but constant pain ever since and I'm getting sick of it. Fed up

just ate a cordon bleu in a bun, and it sits heavy in my stomach.

yesterday I had a roasted chicken with the same result,

I had to compensate that with a tomato arugula with victoria see bass spiced with herbs provençale.

Since I switched to healty hipster-like food my body does not accept garbage anymore. Im worried.

All this talk of calories. */goes to fridge and cuts into some camembert

calories are underrated.
