stupid first world problems you're dealing with

First world problem. I live in a building with 6 flats. We have 5 communal wheelie bins out front for waste and recycling.

I'm usually WFH on the collection days. When I grab the post in the morning and see them in disarray, I move them back into position. However, when I'm not around the bins are rarely moved back. They'll just be left blocking the entrance or even left out on the street. 

I've pretty much stopped moving them now to see how long it takes someone else to bother. Lazy sods. 

one time girlfriend and long time good friend just found out she has breast cancer. she hasn't totally let the cat out of the bag but let me know today. it sucks. she has a daughter who is i think 19 yrs old. has a really great supportive husband so that's good. but just sucks. she's a kindred spirit and like an old school homie who i've known for like 30 years. i don't know the details yet as to what type and treatment plan but it's news i never wanted to get and certainly didn't want today. 

i never thought i'd be mad at breasts. 

edit: goes w/o saying that today just sucks and i'd like to punch god in the face. 

other fwp is i got a new job YAY and it will be awesome work from home good salary, set my own hours etc but the on boarding process has stalled because the onboarding person has to get ahold of some oregon bureaucracy people to meet licensing bullshit because new job is out of state location so there's more hoops to jump through to make it work and hire me. i'm hired so that's good but in limbo until this goes through then i can jump in and tackle the learning curve. 

for now i'm going to go for a bike ride and sweat out this angst at human condition. 

Jesus Christ. Discussing sound and mixing with someone who knows a little about it. He knows just enough to not want to listen to any advice and not enough to be able to explain what he wants. Fuck.

Very.

I'll try to keep this short

edit: failed at that

building adjacent to mine burnt down on Aug 3 (no one was seriously injured and I even made friends with the guy upstairs who had been annoying me - tragedy, the great uniter, i guess)

I've been displaced since then, huge amount of smoke damage to all my stuff

my renters insurance adjuster is a cunt and is trying to screw me

I'm supposed to keep my windows closed until the burnt building is fully removed, and it's going to be hot as hell for at least the next month

I don't have a bed or a couch or pillows, all thrown away. I'm broke af and can't afford to buy new shit without insurance $ but that's gonna take a while

I have missed a ton of work because I keep getting called to the apartment to meet with people

my electronic music gear may or may not be damaged and I won't be able to tell immediately so my insurance is being cagey

I'm tired 

meanwhile, Maui is keeping my life in perspective and I'm thankful I still have my stuff and friends who will let me sleep at their place

whoa. that's a lot. i hope your renters insurance works out. don't let them fuckers off the hook!

Sounds trippy and a bit gross...Just ate 16 Cumberland sausages....

(I was hungry)

My asshole may have a few first world problems tomorrow...

I'm on a medication that makes my bowels extremely volatile so I'm sat in the chair drunk like a Beastman and shat myself. Very satisfying. Can't be bothered to do much about it to be honest, so probably sit here all night. Sweet dreams...

before i got diagnosed with celiac i had IBS etc from all the gut problems. my gut doctor prescribed amitriptyline for the side effects. low dose. totally relaxes all the guts so no spazy IBS.. then once i was diagnosed everything was much better but i still take the amitriptyline in low dose. 

but i had so many "clenching my ass cheeks as hard as possible or might shit myself" experiences that it was just awful. 

I think ive finally finished the new composition ive been working on for the past month.  I thought i would feel good after it was finished but i just feel fucking insane.  Ive been obsessively working on it nonstop.  I dont want to listen to it or think about it anymore.  I keep thinking it's finished and then I find more things that im dissatisfied with and i go back and edit it but i think ive finally refined it to perfection.  There is nothing left to do and now i dont know how to relax.  The piece wont be out until november 20 so i wont even get any recognition until then.  I really didnt want this piece to be this much work but it just had to be this way.  There was no easier way with this one.  I hate it.  Im listening to death in june right now so i dont have to be reminded of electronic sounds.

My housemates new cat is lovely, he approaches me when I come into the house, and he'll come in my room and sit down for a second, but then leave again. When I try to stroke him he ducks or walks away pretending to be interested in something else  why wont you let me love you kitty

The only way to win over your housemate's kitty's heart is by giving it the cold-shoulder. Cats don't like easy preys.

A terrible apostrophy.

i have to do a thing.. but i'd rather do a different thing. also, i bought, and then ate, too many snacks in the last week or so.

Can't for the life of me figure out how to delete attachments.  There is no delete option within "my attachments", literally the only logical place for this feature to be.

you have to go to that very posting, where you "attached" it and delete it there - then it's gone.

hmmmm.... I'm not seeing any delete option there either.  Just "share" or "report".

lol

so I'm forever stuck at 0 attachment space remaining.  seems like a pretty major design flaw.  and doesn't that eat up a crazy amount of server space?  I have no idea how anything website related actually works, but I feel like several thousands of gigs worth of images/audio between every watmm member since the site's inception has to have some sort of negative impact.

the vsnares thread is sorely missing these hairless cat photos...
