stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Music and writing have gotten too stressful for me, so I'd like to start woodworking to take the edge off of those other two. I like the idea of having to invest a lot of time slowly working at every project. It seems like a very relaxing art form, and it's a good excuse to get out of the house and spend time in nature, with myself and the trees.

is wrestling with buying a physical product from a musician you respect, or going digital a first world problem? bc it seems really inconsequential to me, but i feel guilty none the less.

Got a new apartment, been here for about a week, I've already managed to lose my housekeys. It's going to be expensive as hell to get new ones and a new lock.

Story of my life. I need to step the fuck up, I lose valuable belongings all the time.

We've been opening the new retail cannabis store while simultaneously still running the medical co-op until the state makes that convert too. I've been less in the gardens and more in the stores lately as my underlings have really stepped up and helped me to be more free to move about the other stuff... Days of setting up menu systems, display stands, contacting advertising avenues, interviewing people (although they're all cute girls mostly...)... It just makes me realize how little I like interacting with the general public. Been at the medical co-op a few days a week for the last few weeks and I cannot stand over half the people that come in. We have close to 25-30% REAL cannabis 'patients' and the rest are just a bunch of bums living off state/federal money, crazy people, dudes with no jobs coming in every day buying weed even though they have kids... it's straight pathetic most of the times and I have to smile and pretend I want to see them.

Fucking sick of being a bartender/therapist to these people. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR DAY is all I wish I could say when I'm being ear-raped by someone when I'm trying to get them to leave. Only a few more months before they are ran by our hires and I can never interact with another customer for a while. I want to go back to the gigantic rooms and greenhouses filled with dirt and plants and collect my percentage off the stores. Nobody talks to me aside from my bosses and friends when I'm out in the garden(s), I can play my own music choices over the speakers and do what I love doing.

(end rant)

Always make a few copies of your house key and keep them in places like your desk at work, backpack, inside the house, friend that you trust. I'm sorry to hear that man, but don't get too down on yourself, it only makes it more difficult to start doing the 'right' things.

Can you install a new lockset or deadbolt yourself? You probably don't need super high end hardware, it shouldn't be all that expensive unless you hire a contractor to remove some screws for you...

Yeah, luckily I kept an extra key hidden somewhere. But I have no idea where they have gone, I have literally looked everywhere now, so I don't know if they've stolen or it is simply me being clumsy and losing them. So I have to get new locks regardless.

But right now my apartment is freely available for entering if they actually have been stolen since I'm not home, the locksmith haven't contacted me for the change yet, it's a bit nerve-wracking tbh.

Haha thanks, but right now I'm quite a bit annoyed with myself, that will go over though.

Well, it's part of an locking system for entire apartment block, so I probably shouldn't try to do it myself. Pretty sure I'm not allowed, but thanks for the tip anyway.

If anybody knows any tracking devices you can buy that's useful for tracking lost keys for my next keyset, please give a recommendation. Most I've looked at has gotten poor reviews, maybe they're not even worth it?

can you trace your steps back? I find that helps me dig up 99% of what I've lost.

I pretty spent the entire day yesterday trying to find them and backtracking with no luck, I think I have to conclude that they're gone.

But a pair keys just disappearing out of the thin air like that, I'm starting to think they've might been stolen tbh.

Today I learned that the Microsoft Office Specialist World Championships exist.

I've got a gruesome red rash on most of my body at the moment. The only thing I can think of that might have caused it is I've eaten some kiwis in the last few days. Don't normally eat kiwis.

nasteh

I mistook the FWS thread for the FWP thread, and none of the posts tipped me off that I was in the wrong one.

well tbf shitting yourself is not usually considered an achievement.

That is a problem.

Yeah, I found most could also be interpreted as FWP. FWP thread posts on the other hand are usually pretty unambiguous.

my printer isnt working and ive got a backlog of art to print

Ulcers/canker sores under my tongue and all my food atm is acidic or salty.

Gave myself a sore throat from pooping too hard.

yikes

^ breast milk is alkaline eh?

This changes my whole weeks meal plan.

At least I now know what to do when I've got acid indigestion

Heard gunfire just before 2 AM this morning. I'm actually house-sitting right now, so this is never an issue in the town I live, but a few minutes later I witnessed two police cars race down the street I'm staying on, and then an ambulance about 20 min later down the same street. Saw later on the local news this morning that one guy was killed, but no reports on who gunned him down.

I used to be in a prolonged gun-obsession phase myself, but that's pretty much behind me. I understand that citizens would need them for hunting and/or self-defense, but I don't think they should be allowed in the hands of crazy degenerate fucks, which we seem to be getting more of. I don't see myself ever buying another one, at least in the foreseeable future.

^ damn ^

Another one of my friends was shot and killed on saturday.

far too many in recent years. That makes 5 in 4 years. Close friends too....
