Most people wish for good things. The best I can hope for any given day is that things don't get worse.
It's getting worse.

Plumber snakes the drain and opens it up. Talk about tying the washer into the actual sewer outlet (instead of the stormwater we're assuming it's on), scoped the main sewer drain and it's ~40% blocked for 30-40' by tree roots. So, our choices are now do laundry at a laundromat or go ahead and drop upwards of $1000 to have the line Hydro-jetted and a drain put in for the washer, which would leave us without a Utility Sink in the basement. Right after finishing up our electrical and bathroom projects, and near enough to a wedding/honeymoon to really sting just to hear the quote.
You can buy the hydrojet for about $85 on Amazon and rent a pressure washer for cheap, I did on my sewer line and it worked great
Within my small piece of the world (SW Michigan), we've had 4 police officers shot in the last 72 hours. One was a neighbor of mine.
we are two days into December, it's not even officially winter yet. It has felt like winter for the past three weeks.
E60 no-start this AM. So instead of going to work a little early I drove AK1 to school and have returned home to do a basic troubleshoot.
I just got back from a cruise.
One night, lobster was on the menu so predictably, the leftovers were put out at the buffet the next morning. I’m an early riser and I noticed the lobsters at 5:30 AM as I walked through the empty buffet area.
I sat out on a deck for about an hour drinking tea and enjoying the sunrise. When I got up to go back to my room, I was confronted with a tsunami of passengers running out of the buffet area with plates stacked with (in one case SIX!!!) lobsters.
I’d already decided to pass on the lobster, I’m a smoked salmon guy, so I’m not disappointed that I didn’t get any lobster, I’m disappointed in people’s gluttony, and selfishness, and hording mentality.
When you’re on a cruise, you generally want for nothing but the human lust for more, more, more just can’t be satisfied.

Better they eat it than it gets thrown away. The ships normally make almost 1.5x the number of passengers- we were just on a cruise, too- and had a galley tour on lobster night- 6000 lobsters for 4400 passengers. And I didn't have one.
What sucks is passengers who don't want to share.... Pretty weak. And happens for more than lobster. Sun loungers, theater seats, free champagne, etc...

I see the doc in the morning. 13 hours of sleep last night. This is berkeleying ridiculous .

What’s going to happen when a critical resource is in short supply…better have plenty of ammo.
It is currently around 30° outside, plus or minus a few degrees (0° for all you folks who don't use freedom units - freezing). The AC just kicked on. Now to be fair I'm not sure that it is AC or just venting cold air, but in any case the fan above my desk just came on and blew cold air on me. WTF??? I'm bringing a thermometer in tomorrow. This is berkeleying ridiculous.
And the crazy thing, if I'm cold, it is berkeleying cold. I keep the house at 66°, and the only reason I keep it that warm is to keep my guitars happy.
Never argue with a spade bit, it will win and your thumb will hate you for dragging it into the fight.
I wish I had the financial ability to bitch about a cruise.
In reply to Appleseed :
I know you’re contending with financial issues and I really feel for you.
For clarification, the cruise was great, it just afforded an opportunity for people to demonstrate their shockingly low levels of impulse control and consideration of others.
Honestly, the display went beyond ugly and was in-route to scary.
Take care

Time to start picking up side gigs Mike, assuming you don't have them already. FWIW, my wife and I both have college degrees and make what most would consider good money (I know in college I would have considered myself RICH, but in the real world it is much different), but we BOTH have side gigs to provide for our luxuries that aren't really all that luxurious.
Some ideas:

Bitching is free!
I my experience, bitching can cost you quite a lot.

Damn. I’m sorry...
You say I have the wrong ticket number, but then don't tell me how to get the right one or a new one.
You THEN straight up ignore my E36 M3 when I ask how I go about getting one, along w/ the subsequent emails from multiple people, asking the same damn thing.
No wonder this company is berkeleyed.

That was directed at the royal you, not you.
Actually, it was more directed at myself.
Hey look.
It's the Ford that went from stalling after 5 seconds yesterday, to running for ten+ minutes without a hiccup NOW THAT I HAVE MY SCOPE ON IT.
It's a Heisenbug, is what it is.
New phone has a notch on the screen for the selfie camera. WHY?!? It just gets in the way of games apps and websites.

Hole saws are nothing to laugh at either.
HA!!
SPOUT isn't getting pulled to ground.
Last city council meeting with the progressive members seated, new NIMBY council members already being asses demanding a stop to all votes until January when they are seated. Um, no. They are private citizens until sworn in, so STFU and sit down. The meeting itself was an absolute circus now that the screeching NIMBYs can taste power. Watching our town be run by 4% of the population is going to suck for the next four years.

I haven't sold a SPOUT connector (or a TFI) in a looooooong time, lol!
