stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Have a meeting with HR on Friday because I've been late (but a minute or two!) eight times since December. Not exactly in trouble nor will I get fired but man, what a hassle. And I have no valid excuses: I live merely fifteen minutes on foot from work. Other people live miles away and get there fine...

Maybe I should try...leaving the house...earlier?

Ironic how that happens. Worked with a guy who literally lived a block away and was always late

Yeah, and it pisses my boss off no end. It's not like I'm hours late! But...still, I have no excuses. Can't even blame traffic.

but in the back of your mind you know that if you're early.... you're at work NOT getting paid...

right?

And losing valuable time NOT being at work...so no regrets, really

I could never let go of that back when I worked in customer service. The fact that I arrived the minute I was meant to start my shifts as opposed to 10 minutes early infuriated one of my last managers, but to me a 9am shift start means a 9am shift start. Otherwise you're losing out on an hour's pay every week. Fuck that.

lol that copper complaint tablet is the shit

my most recent fwp is probably a acidic burp that happened just now, after I brushed my teeth

I've had this stupid head cold for literally a month. Besides that and all its crappy implications, life is pretty good.

Yeah, usually I'm there about 1-2 mins early, sometimes dead on...sadly, a few times I've been a minute or two late, and with the new digital time system, it flags as late, even if minor. Damn this digital age!

same here guys! My manager loses it that I'm here 5 minutes before start time.

My response is always the same, I'm only paid 8hrs, why would I start 30 minutes early for free?!

I too have a problem being at work on time. I hate that it's a problem. my managers are pretty cool about it but I'm sure if I became any more inconsistent they'd crack the whip.

I just can't be fucked going to bed on time. that's the root cause of it. it's seriously one of the biggest things I'm struggling with in my life right now, absurd as it is to say. I'll stay up doing whatever, listening to music, watching movies, playing games, going out for rides and 4am pancakes, etc. being a night owl is taking years off my life.

I chipped my nail polish on a kettlebell.

Why are you wearing nail polish? lol

 

I bit my nails my whole life. I quit this past new year (fw success yay). But now my nails are weak as fuck and they break on everything.

Nail polish strengthens them, and I'm trying to buy some time while they (hopefully) get stronger.

Ah, alright. That makes sense. That was a far less fabulous reason than I envisioned though lol.

Are there supplements or something you can take to strengthen keratin?

I briefly looked into that, but it seemed too much like bullshit.

I'm gonna try to shield them with polish (it's clear polish atm, so I have room to get more fabulous if need be), and wait it out. Also moisturize, just to keep the tips of my fingers healthy and happy.

EDIT: Also I live in Vancouver, and work at a library, so if anyone judges me they are a most likely being hypocritical.

heavy maaaaaaaaaaaan, but it gets better,,,,,,,

got pulled doing a shade under 75mph on a 70limit motorway, but had smuggled some reeking nugs in a glass jar in my jacket for the person i was visiting. Apart from spending the entire 25mins in the filth-wagon thinking all was lost "can he smell it, cos i can fuckin smell it, noooooooo,,,,,,,,," (and the repercussions), the copper was actually safe as fuck after i explained that this was my 1st long drive 8months after a massive crash that i really should have been killed in, on the same motorway too......he even set me up with some contacts for ISA/speed/skid-pan/blow-out testing, which is exceedingly rare & gentlemanly for British five-O

I hate to interrupt a track mid-song because I need to go to the toilet. But it's still such a minor nuisance that I am not going to invest in wireless headphones. Having it on speakers could solve it, but from the toilet I am not getting the full effect from the music. So I either brave it out until the track is over, risking pooping my pants. But then if it's a longer track that just started...fml.

I have 'short mental afx' as my ringtone. And some salesman called me this morning. I was still sleeping...
