stupid first world problems you're dealing with

eating too many sweets on the shift ? seven shifts in a row ='s dollars in my mind (i'm also a lame arse nightshift worker).

I don't eat sweets in general but I rarely want 'proper food' while working nights. Mainly crisps and nuts and cheese etc, and about 15 cups of green tea (a coke or red bull at around 3am).

No extra moneys unfortunately. Unsociable hours is in my contract, get 7 days off now though.

Managed to get lumped with nights on xmas week this year, meaning I'll probably be sleeping on the prison grounds on xmas day lol.

i make frozen meals for myself, i find when i eat a reasonable breakfast (at work) and then a few hours later have a decent lunch (at work) not saying that i have much time to do these things, heh, it helps shut down all those cravings. I find if i do caffeine i end up like you do with your green tea, it's more and more and more. And it doesn't make me more aware or relaxed but withit. The first couple of nights, with just one cup i'm 'wahoo, lets get stuck in', but after that it's all downhill. I still struggle with these things, though, even sometimes eat crisps for breakfast with an iced coffee when i'm in a bad phase, so i'm not living up to my ideals, (so this isn't a snide retort patternO, (heh))

I've been thinking of moving out of my house. I mean, from my family house. I've been changing a fuck lot this year (in a good way), but sometimes I feel I need some more big changes in my life to feel more comfortable. Or am I exaggerating?

tons of software companies flying me out for interviews lately. im so sick of living in airports and my back hurts from cramped airplane seats.

FWP 1 - I've yet to find an optimal setting on my microwave to pop all, or nearly all, the corn kernels in my microwave popcorn bags! There are always some left unpopped and it feels like a waste. The 'Popcorn' button doesn't seem to make a difference either.

FWP 2 - Almost completed the 'Challenge Wall' in Super Smash Bros Wii U but the remaining challenges are heavily RNG based and involve playing an extremely annoying and shitty board game-like mode (Smash Tour) so I don't even know if I'll be able to suffer through it...

^ that should lead to some answers. wait for the results to come back.

what should have been a night out of enjoyment and fun has turned into a retarded mess of binge-eating Lebanese charcoal chicken, speeding all over Sydney (complete with being flashed by a hidden camera, woohoo! fines incoming) and lone tea-drinking at home. yes, that's how I deal with life, who needs drugs?!

fuck this gay earth with a hundred big black dicks right now.

at least I have a hot cuppa.

yep, i'd wait for the doctor on that one. do diabetics need to pee all the time ? could just be a nervous thing though, i think i had that once, you'd pee and then need to pee again. It went away.

More Trazodone related weirdness, ugh.

I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a couple of years ago and the symptoms was fatigue, with increased thirst and a lot of peeing. I was also overweight, where I lost about 20 kg in a year without doing anything. It only got discovered (although I would have probably gone gotten it checked out eventually) when I went for an unrelated problem to the doctor and mentioned the other symptoms. Got called back to the hospital the same day. My blood glucose level was something like four times normal. Spent a week in the hospital getting the sugar levels down and a brief stint of insulin injections since they suspected it was type 1, but that pushed my sugar levels too low and got it replaced with pills and now it's pretty much under control. It's apparently somewhat hereditary, so if you have relatives with it, it's possible you might also have it. My uncles and aunts all have it.

someone just called in to where i work to check if marmite is ok to smear all over your bf's private parts. i imagined it, now my brain hurts.

Haha, fucking hell. I've just seen it in my minds eye, that's hilarious to be honest.

It is, no need to think about it.

Seems like a short cut to thrush.

my fwp:

 

weird bladder problem that has been sticking around. it goes in cycles of getting worse and getting better, when it's bad i feel like i have to pee again even just moments after last going. quite often there's only a little bit when i do. then it clears up for a few days and it's all normal only to creep back again. i've been to the doctor and sent off a urine sample but i'm not sure if that will lead to direct answers. no pain or visible blood, at least not yet.

 

help me watmm! :S

Solution idea: after eating all the popped kernals, reseal the bag (staples?) with the unpopped kernals and give them a second chance in the microwave. Be sure to report back if you try this.

2nd solution - learn to make stove-top popcorn. It's waaaaay better, way cheaper, plus - you have full control of kernel poppage and seasoning!

My gf has been making kettle corn lately. That stuff is addicting!

just buy regular corn kernels, and pop them in a pot with a tbsp of oil. as long as you shake the pot around a few times and don't have it on too high a temp, you'll cook every one of the bastards. also, for extra awesome flavour, melt some butter in the microwave with the following spices for 30 seconds: 1/4 tsp each of Cumin, Chilli Powder, All Spice (or you could try clove & cinnamon), Salt (and sometimes I add Smoked Paprika or a tiny bit of Garlic Powder), pour over the popped corn and shake about.

also, anyone who adds sugar to popcorn needs to be shot in the face.

my dumb neighbor put wind chimes on her porch a couple days ago. we live in the hills right next to the pacific so they're always clanging in the afternoon because of strong winds. i mostly work at home on the computer so it's starting to drive me insane. stupid jerk.

Tie all the strings together.

shoot them down! lol

Thanks fellows. I have one more bag of microwavable so I may try ZN's resealing idea... Making it on the stove top sounds fancier and more delicious so I will try that as well!

top tips (well except the shooting thing, i don't advocate that, my brother did buy some caramel popcorn the other week though, that shit was so sweet neither of us could eat it. I'm happy with a little salted butter myself.)
