What RUINED your day today?

[_priapism]

there were my keys, in the ignition. Not only that...I'd left the car running while we were inside. 

I drive Mark's car on occasion.  Keyless ignition, so the keys are in my purse.  Before leaving the car I do a makeup check in the mirror.  3 times so far I've gotten out of the car, shut the door and went in to a business.   A few other times I think "Is the car running" as I walk by it.  I haven't told Mark I've done it yet.  These keyless-entries and keyless-ignition vehicles are going to get me in trouble.

Turning the car “off” before you exit should not be a problem.  The real problem is leaving the keys in the car, and having it lock the doors for you.  That has happened to me, and it it a huge hassle.

Last time I locked my keys in the car was 30 years ago. We (myself, wife #1 and oldest child) were at a mall. We went inside and did our shopping. Came out and saw the keys on the dashboard with the doors locked (a 77 Chev Nova with manual locks). Wife and child went back into mall. I took the bus home, broke into my house, got the spare keys and went back to the mall.

I liked my 2012 Fiesta with the push button start. It wouldn’t let you lock the doors if the fob was in the car.

Now, I don’t lock the doors of the vehicle unless I have the keys in my hand.

Back to work after four day weekend in Mexico.  Not sure how to make it through a whole day without a margarita.

My day isn't exactly ruined, but I've just realised that my 17 year old son has had more sexual partners than me...

My ** year old gets more pussy than dad.  Not partners (yet).  When we moved recently, I noticed half the slats on his bed were broken, or splintered.  Kid is a jackhammer.  Sounds like he’s breaking up concrete, when he’s at it.

Yes, one of the nice things about more sexual freedom is that later generations get it better than their elders.  No surprise there, why it's called Progress.

The temperature is 33C, and both our fans have died from high usage.

We bought the only fan available for under £300 within 100 miles in any direction, and it was missing important parts. We got a refund, but no fan.

The heat has reached the stage where I've had to put my shirt back on because I am sticking to everything.

33C

Um, some of us are American, we don't do Celsius.   

This makes me think of something funny I was told while in France.....

"If you speak a few languages, you're multi-lingual,
If you speak two languages, you're bi-lingual,
If you speak one language, you're American."

I’m very familiar with C being a scientist and that being what we use in the lab.  However, I still think in F for weather.  My quick mental conversion without googling is 25C is a comfortable room temperature and 37C is body temperature (or near 100F), so I can guesstimate 33C from that as uncomfortably warm.

Comes back and talk when it reaches 43C.

Or Kuwait at 54C.......and yes it does get that hot there in August.!!!!!!!

Love,

33C (91F) is a nice Spring day in Phoenix.  I was in Phoenix the year it hit 128F (41C) and my air conditioner died that day... it'd been running non-stop for a few days at that point.  I had to move into a motel until they got the compressor replaced.  NO WAY could I sleep at those temperatures.  For 10 days there the LOW temperature at night never fell below 100F / 38C, and it just went UP from there during the day.  UGLY!!!  I don't recommend the experience. 

We had emergency plans in case the power or air conditioner died at my parent's house, since they were both in their late 60s and couldn't tolerate those temperatures for long.

It's hitting 100F in Dallas, and people are crabbing about the heat.  Jeez... I've seen MUCH worse!

I just lost a whole hot Mother/Daughter scene because the site timed out on me.

{Sighs}

Not your fault.  I should have backed it up.

[ChirpingGirl]

High of 75 when it's been nothing but miserable, rains all day. No trip to the park with the dog and babies today. 

[_priapism]

Internet is fucked up.  Wireless accounts aren’t working, including my hotspot.  I’m confused because my data on phone and T3 network at office work fine.  But NEVER go anywhere on the office network you shouldn’t be.  My desktop is G rated.  I don’t do any social media, personal emails, or PORN on the company’s computer.  Lots to do.  Busy Monday.

Air conditioning went out Sunday. Sunday evening my 60inch Sony tv went brain-dead.
AC fixed this morning, bought a new 65 inch Sony tonight.
Damned expensive Sunday.

Spin off of "What made your day today?"


So, what ruined my day today?

My Kuerig broke - pump quit.  No coffee for my drive to work.
Get to work.   The Kuerig is broken - pump quit.  
WTH, is it national Kuerig break down day?

Jules

Well Jules,
nothing as bad as a broken Kuerig pump. My wife informed me she would like a divorce as we are no longer "compatible" whatever the fuck that means to a cave man like me and she doesn't "love" me in that way anymore. We both deserve happiness and she's not finding it with me anymore. She told me tonight she started filling out the divorce paperwork so we can "get on with our lives" as soon as possible. Wow, hit me in the face with a fucking stick. I don't even have the energy to masturbate anymore. Sigh.

HD,

I am so sorry to read this post this morning.  Especially when it catches you off guard like that.   A breakup is a difficult thing, both for you, but also her.  Hopefully she will consider counseling before taking this to lawyers.   

The two of you need to sit down and come up with a plan (counseling, a short time away from each other, etc.)

What you're feeling now won't always be like this.  Hitting you in the face with a stick is an understatement.  I can't imagine how you must feel.   Always know that no matter how bad you feel now or and in the weeks/months to come, there will be a time down the road where your emotions will get back in check and you may think it was for the best, even though  you might be upset with it all, and all she put the both of you through,

In the meantime, might I suggest as a plan for tonight.....a quart of your fave ice cream, a row (or two) of Oreo cookies (glass of milk to dunk in optional), your couch, a blanket, your pillow, and favorite movie.  I've done it too many times to count and it has helped a bit.

My “new” (5 yrs. old) Keurig broke last week, so I fished out my “old” (10 yrs. old) Keurig, and now *it* isn’t working.  Watched YouTube and tried to take the “new” one apart for repairs... it’s one complicated little piece of machinery.  I predict I’m buying a new one in the near future.  Too lazy to make French press every morning.

I just mentioned this to Mark.   They had one at  work that quit working and they burped it.   Word traveled and now all the different offices in the building bring them broken ones to fix.   Try this.  Mark said they have a 75% success rate.
