16 games this weekend. Nine 16/18U, 1 college, one girls 14U, two girls 19U, and three beer league.
5 game misconducts (2 of whom were coaches), 4 fans (parents) thrown out. My partners had it even worse. I also warned an entire section of the stands that one more word and everyone from the gentleman in the green hat to the lady in the red coat would be asked to leave. Thankfully the cooler heads in said section got the problem parents to shut up.
I have been doing this for 12 years now. I’ve been evaluated multiple times and always, always had good evaluations. I get high level games, including state championship games. I know it is not me.
The penalties have gotten harsher for parents and coaches. And I’ve never called more of them than this year. What the berkeley is wrong with people?
oh well, it is still fun and it is good money and good exercise. Guess I shouldn’t complain too much.
As soon as I started looking for automatics, all the neat manuals popped out of the woodwork. Oh hi pristine 1993 Volvo 850 sedan for $4k with 85,000 miles... glad you're walking distance from my house, shame about the transmission.
dear shiny happy person who log-jammed one of two E36 M3ters on this floor: you're a big boy. you know how a plunger works. and it's right there under the sink where it's always been. so grab the berkeleying plunger and clear the berkeleying jam, you inconsiderate motherberkeleyer.
Row52 is currently down and I can't see if my local yards got in any BMWs again or not.
Even though it's Monday and I wouldn't be able to check it out until Saturday, it still berkeleying sucks.
Also, new leak on the E30; the power steering hose from the reservoir to the pump itself.
Jesus christ I need to finally get the passenger E46 seat in, clean it up, and list it. It's not only staining my driveway, but it's just an eyesore to me at this point AND the fiberglass bumpers are taking up a massive amount of storage space in my garage.
Might even be willing to take a couple hundred dollar loss on it at this point if I can't find a teen to buy it for a pretty penny.
Trying to finish up hanging Christmas lights on the house. Ladder work is always fun in the cold. Most of the way through hanging the newest string of lights I own, I notice exactly one-third of the string is dark. Poop! I take them back down. Buy a new string of lights this morning. Plug them in to make sure all is good. New out of the box, you guessed it! Exactly one-third of the string is dark.
EEEEYYYYYAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas!

I sold my Pristine 96 850 Sedan with the rare manual transmission for $800 because nobody wanted a car that size in a manual.

As I learned yesterday, I've learned that it's typically the first or last bulb on the out bulbs that needs replaced.

Actually, I have an update: These 150-light strings are broken into three 50-light segments. I wiggled every bulb on the dark section and found one that, when I pushed on it, the section would light. Pulled it out, checked the "socket", reinserted. No better. Actually worse. Pull it again and notice one of the leads broke off the bulb. Replace bulb. Problem fixed.
This bulb was near the middle of the dark section.
Westward leading, still proceeding...
Decided that I would sell my 2g DSM to fund an LS swapped Colorado. Decided to put up a feeler post on Facebook as to the cars value. I was surprised by the answers and am confident I can sell it for a nice profit and have enough funds to mostly build the new project
Take the car out for one last shake down before an official for sale ad and it's pissing oil from the rear of the block. Could be gear oil. Could be engine oil. If engine oil it's likely The friggin head gasket. Also mysteriously leaking from the timing cover so likely a front main seal. Glorious. More work on this car I've grown so tired of.
I berkeleying suck at setting up differentials. Every one that I do, I get burned on.

AAAAAYYYYYY! - The 14 year old brain in my head.
It's winter in the northern hemisphere, this is normal.
Man I was hoping someone would catch on to that and make it funny.
My day has been less than fun, laughing is needed
Wandering around the grocery store last week (I REALLY need to take the 20 minutes or so it will take to re-organize the categories on my grocery list app to the order of aisles in the store...) I came across a display of flavored peanuts (in the shells). They had some kind of hot chili flavor and dill pickle. So of course I had to pick up a bag of pickle flavored nuts.
Sadly, you can hardly taste the flavoring... which isn't that bad since you're still left with a bag of peanuts. But for $6 for a bag of nuts that likely, in total, contains less peanuts than a $2 jar of shelled, dry-roasted peanuts AND I have to actually work to get the nuts out was kind of annoying.

Dang it, one of the berkeleying oil burners at the house we bought a bit less than a year ago is having problems. Again.
HVAC guy coming out tomorrow.
At this rate they may as well set up shop downstairs. We already had to replace the a/c system earlier this year.
Wife is off today. A neighbor just called her into the police for an animal welfare check because Milo has been outside for 2 hours. Good luck getting him inside, officer. And neighbor lady, go mind your own business. He's a Great Pyrenees. You see that fur coat he's wearing? Would you wear a fur coat inside? Didn't think so.

The in-laws have two Great Pyrenees- the male one topping out at probably 130+lbs... the only time our 85lb boxer mix looks like a small dog is when they're around (though they're never around together, sadly their male GP and our dog don't get along). The in-laws insist on having them indoors almost all of the time (the female is completely blind, so there is some reasoning for it...). Granted, they live in WI, so it DOES get quite cold there- but then, they're pretty much BUILT for it, and even with keeping their house colder than the norm the dogs always look like they're too warm. Which is annoying since it means when we visit our dog (who is in no way built to be out in zero-degree weather himself) is pretty much confined to the basement room we stay in.

People like that make me laugh. Like, do they have no idea about breeds that were made in climates that are far worse than what we see here.
My husky almost refuses to come inside when it starts snowing.
I got voluntold I would be taking a coworkers shift tonight so he can burn some of his holiday PTO since it doesn't carry over to the new calendar year.
That in itself isn't terrible. I actually start my month on nights on Friday this week.
I used to work shift work about 10 years ago when I was still active duty. I didn't mind it.
Now though, it seems to take my body more time to adjust schedules. I tried staying up to 8am this morning. I was pretty berkeleying tired.
However, USPS felt the need to ring my doorbell 3 times and beat on my door when they delivered a package at 12:20PM.
Then Amazon delivered a package at 12:45PM. The driver also rang the doorbell.
I said berkeley it and got up.
Aaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhh.
This job is really starting to beat me down

We raised Siberians long before they were cool. They stayed outside all year and slept atop their dog houses when it snowed.
Its the day that keeps giving...
So not only did I hardly get any sleep but I forgot that we are moving our workcenter to our alternate location due to adjacent construction. So I showed up to the wrong duty location. It took me over 40 minutes to get to our alternate location due to the wonderful evening traffic. As I finally pulled into the parking lot, I spilled my coffee on my work slacks. Of course I caught crap for showing up to the wrong location. Apparently there was a group text sent out by our team lead on Friday. Guess who wasn't included on the group text? Yep.
Everything sucks at our alternate location. The network is absolutely horrible and everyone is stuck using old laptops which may or may not pull your user account across the domain. Its absolutely freezing in here because the thermostat controlling the HVAC in our area is on the other end of the building in a common area which is a lot warmer. Its seriously like 62°F in here. Of course I didn't bring my jacket or lunch because I thought it was going to be a normal day.
I CAN'T WORK IN THESE CONDITIONS!!!111!1!!!
I'm only half kidding 
Oh, I also forgot, its that time of the year when yearly performance reviews are due. Except here, your manager/supervisor doesn't rate you; you rate yourself. I barely know my position's function since it doesn't even come close to matching what the job description is.
And I thought the military did things berkeleying stupid. Nothing could prepare me for corporate America though
