stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Here's a good first world problem:

 

I am a consultant, I travel half the year. We consultants get picky about travel since we have to fly twice a week or more, and like to have as much control over the trips as possible. Airline "elite" benefits are important to us - free booze, shorter security lines, priority boarding, free checked baggage, no change fees, etc...

 

The year is almost over, I have no more company travel on the books, and I'm 5 flight segments short of keeping my Elite status for 2015. Time to take matters into my own hands!

 

So, to make up the missing 5 segments, I have booked a whirlwind tour:

 

Saturday afternoon: DEN to SLC to PHX (2 segments)

Saturday night: Use 30k Hilton Honors points (I have >500k) for a free night at the Hilton Garden Inn

Sunday afternoon: PHX to SLC to DEN (2 segments)

Sunday night: DEN to SLC to DEN (2 segments)

 

6 flights in 1.5 days, I'm home by 11PM, and I retain Elite status for 2015! Well worth the $300 out of my own pocket - that is less than $1/day spread across Year 2015

This sounds more like a first world success than a problem.

Both. It was, now it's not. I solve problems for a living, for when one comes along you must not let it whip you.

I have too many jobs.

I'm also getting an education, so that's sorta like having a job you have to pay to do...

Listening to John Maclaughlin fuck around, thinking yeah whatever i can do that, but really not being able to blast my acoustic, at 01:25 am. So i just do some simple fun thing that i do which leaves plenty open for fun and then, fukkkk that's loud, sie ..

college is eating me from the inside outwards and every day i feel like this is all for nothing

Ain't that the truth. I'm seriously considering dropping out and working on a portfolio + self learning

learning to play bass and sing at the same time when I'm used to playing guitar only is like starting from scratch, aaargh

i literally slept through sunday.

I once slpt in until 7pm. It was winter, so when I looked at the clock I just assumed I had gotten up way earlier than usual. I was stoked because it meant I had time to get shit done before the session I had scheduled. it was a first session with a new client too! Luckily they were extremely forgiving.

Present day FWP: for months I beat my girlfriend... at Doctor Mario about 60% of the time. But for the last few weeks she's been destroying me 9 out of every 10 games! I don't know what happened. My reflexes seem much slower now for some reason.

My ex girlfriend is showing her boobs on a video clip for an upcoming party reuniting students from all across France. I knew she was kind of a bitch and it's been a while but it makes me kind of angry.

PS : no I won't post any link !

Having a girlfriend has weakened your wrist muscles, tendons.

electric guitar+headphones

I just saw London Keyes walking down a city street in front of my work.

the fwp here is that I was able to recognise her.

I heart LDN

I'm going back to the first world next week, and kind of don't want to.

It's my day off, I feel like packing up a bowl and going outside for a walk/smoke (smoking in the apartment is not a smart idea before 5pm landlady's office is right out front) but it's cold... fuck you winter

It was really hot like a couple days ago and then bam, fucking cold cloudy gray shitty ass days. Cause who needs gradually adjusting to a completely diferent season right

Just cut my hand open on a frozen pizza

you wouldn't dig Sydney weather. we have probably one of the most variable climates in the world. recently there were even hot, suffocating bushfire winds happening while rain sprinkled down from big dirty clouds overhead. it's getting more and more insane every year.

I have been working so much with my new job(s) that I have accumulated a fair bit of coin for my age the past year, bought over $4k worth in gear and studio stuffs over the past few months, and have had little to no time to use any of it. I've become so busy I haven't made music in a month or two. I finally plugged in my SH-09 after a week of it sitting in my room, only messed about with it for a bit, and had to leave. It's a total cocktease.

I have two days off this week and I plan to shut off my phone and lock the doors, but knowing my luck, that will not happen

FACK

when you rub one out even though you are zero percent horny. i dunno if that's a problem or success.
