stupid first world problems you're dealing with

I just got a call out of the blue from some career agency, and I probably sounded like a total idiot. I'd probably forgotten that a phone number was a required field when I visited their website two weeks ago. TBH I'm not even sure what I'm getting into.

Oh well. At least the lady at the other end of the line complemented me on my "professional" phone manners.

Bath would be way preferable to bed.

 

I've closed to door on the room with the spare bed in it and now I'm realising what an idiot I am as I'm at work all night now and she might decide to shit on *my* bed.

I swear I have some sort of weird reaction to flavoured coffee pretty much straight down the board, regardless of brand, but I can't find any remotely scientific sounding information to validate my concerns.  Any article on the "flavoured coffee is bad" side uses that idiotic argument where someone mentions how it contains X, which is also an ingredient in this nasty thing that you would never ingest.  That argument makes me so fucking angry and it needs to stop.  But I really would like to know what the deal is behind this odd sensation I get whenever I drink flavoured coffee.  Regular coffee makes me feel sharper and boosts my mood, but the flavoured stuff makes me feel high and cracked-out.  Anyway else experience this?

wtf is flavoured coffee?

Are you talking about that shit that has hazelnut or vanilla or whatever in it? Because that shit is wronger than pineapple pizza.

If you give 1.5 shits about coffee you wouldn't touch this stuff.

"Flavoured" coffee is the fucking worst. My girlfriend once bought me some chocolate flavoured beans and I made one cup and then threw out the entire bag. The problem is that the added flavour isn't strong enough. If it had actually tasted like someone had poured hot chocolate into my coffee I would been ok with it, but this just tasted like stale coffee.

So yeah, the idea is ok, but it just tastes god awful no matter how you twist and turn it.

 

Ethiopian coffee is where it's at though!

Yeah, that's the stuff I'm talking about.  You can find it all over the place where I am.  There was one grocery store that used to do it right - Safeway.  They also had the best bagels I've ever had.  But alas they are no more.  I don't recall ever getting the weird cracked out sensation from their coffee.

There is a safeway a block away from my house still. I think sobeys bought a ton of locations in Canada but are leaving some branded as Safeway.

 

or something like that?

I work at a coffee shop and we have that pumpkin spice shit all year round, but nobody actually reads our flavors list so no one orders it until Starbucks starts putting up signs for it. Meanwhile I'm drinking a p-spice latte in April like fuck your yoga pants.

Yeah Safeway has pretty nice bagels. The Jalapeno cheddar ones are quite greasy but tasty with veggie cream cheese.

You know what else is good that I haven't seen in a while are their onion cheese kaiser rolls. I hope they haven't discontinued those.

Supermarket bagels wtf...

Sounds lame maybe, but they're legit. Really good, baked fresh daily (on location), fairly priced. Edited August 18, 2017 by Bulk VanderHooj

We talkin' bagels? We literally have a bagel restaurant in my city where you can order a wide array of bagel sandwiches, or just buy a dozen day-old bagels for six bucks. And they make their own. Plus a variety of cream cheeses to choose from. (Feel spoiled)

And yes, flavored coffee is bullshit.

word. we have a bagel company in town as well that sell at grocery stores... i haven't had one in ages but their cinnamon bagels are to die for

Did you guys ever have their pesto bagels/sun dried tomato bagels back when that was still a thing?  I've never had finer bagels.  The discontinuation of each was one of the greatest FWPs I've ever had to face.

I read that as veggie cum cheese

 

My fwp is the inmates are playing up tonight. I've already had one say he's gonna shoot my mum in the head when he gets out (me: "k") and another one tell me all the terrorist attacks are by jews dressed as muslims. Oh also that jews do magic.

ffs lemme just watch movies in peace

It would take almost a year of listening nonstop to go through all the music currently on my hard drive, not including all unzipped albums.  But I probably only listen to an average of 45 min of music per day, not including the music I'm working on.  So... I should be dead several times over before I listen to all this stuff again.

i got my phone pick pocketed from me on the bus on friday, and then when i went online to change my paypal details i discovered someone had used my acccount to buy themselves a pair of nike football boots. double whammy. people are cunts.
