I left my watch at home today. I hate using my phone to keep track of time.

I quit wearing (well, carrying... I preferred pocket watches...) a watch because of my phone. And then some years later started wearing one again because of my phone- and now I find it annoying when I occasionally am in a rush and forget to put the Pebble on and have to pull out my phone to read text & such.
In reply to BlueInGreen44:
I also forgot my watch this morning and my left arm does not feel right.
Windows10 makes me so frustrated I could punch a nun into next week.
In reply to Appleseed:
I literally spent two hours of my very busy work day figuring out a windows 10 issue. Windows defender wouldn't turn on. I was looking at the defender interface with the button for "turn on." Clicking it would take me to the add/remove programs control panel. It claimed I had antivirus software installed. Going to the security settings "app" (ughhh) just gave me a greyed out switch. Eventually a notification about antivirus protection being off popped up and clicking it took me to - I believe - the "security center" control panel which had an active switch to turn on windows defender. Hitting that made the other settings app button suddenly turn active and on and everything was kosher. Two hours and it was literally just a different "on" button for no reason at all despite all three theoretically being buttons to turn on windows defender. Completely nonsensical. I've been servicing computers for 25 years or so and have never seen anything like it.
I swear the guys that do overnight roadwork do their best to make as much noise as possible. This is day two of them laying 18inch waterlines down the main road 50m from my house.. I had to call out this morning because I got ZERO sleep due to all the noise and brighter than the sun lights they use.
Been feeling great all day, and then BOOM - suddenly a nerve catches somewhere in my back/right arm in the shoulder blade region. Now I can barely move my arm, back, neck, or head, without excruciating pain. I laid down on a bench outside to see if that would help and the pain went away when I relaxed the muscles, but then I couldn't lift my head to get up. I had to roll off the berkeleying bench. There goes my productive afternoon...guess it will be spent in a Lay Z Boy with copious amounts of Seagram's finest pain killer.

That, my friend, is the entire Windows experience in a nutshell.
there is a reason I have only ever owned 3 windows operating systems.. 98, XP and 7. I stuck with XP until I was sure that 7 was stable and I am not even going to look at 10
Trying to help my wife write a maid of honor speech. The groom is so boring, I just can't come up with anything funny he has ever done.
The hold music that I am currently enduring is supposed to be some sort of native american tribal soothing stuff, but it sounds more like someone slowly opening and closing a squeaky farm gate and someone else rattling a half empty pack of Tic Tacs, with a wood flute somewhere nearby. If this is supposed to soothe the savage beast in me it is not doing a very good job.

I think you just described a new genre of music that will now come about in obscure pockets of counter culture
My wife is just getting over strep throat, now my throat is sore. BUT Would The dr. Just call me in a script for the same antibiotic. Nope has to see me. I cant get off work this week for normal hours. So now I get to sit in a walk in clinic for 2 hours. God damnit
Why does the berkeleying Keurig only act up when I have to wake up earlier than usual?
Trains. They've doubled the ones that run through town over the last year, and one of them runs through almost every morning right around when I have to drive to work. The result is a ~30 minute wait in a line of cars, which is very frustrating on a commute that normally takes around 7 minutes. Every practical crossing is a left turn at a stop sign onto a busy road, which for most Bob Costasfooted drivers, results in even longer waits.
I guess the plus side is that by the time I'm at the front of the line, oil and coolant temp are up to operating levels, so it's a nice opportunity to run through a few gears.
I think the Concept of a Purge day should be translated into the electronic age in the U.S. and we should have a day dedicated to trolling. Seriously, the election trolling is crazy.
Dear coworker, you didn't need to tell us, in graphic detail, about your 9th grade kid's diarrhea. And you really really didn't need to repeat the story each time a new person came into the room.
COFFEE... ISN'T... STRONG... ENOUGH... THIS... MORNING...

Linux time! You don't want to be on Windows 10 when it gets where it's going.
Why is it so impossible to find a cheap winter beater in this day and age? Especially if you have a 9-5 job and can't go out and look at something until after work? Pretty much every day this week I've found something that looks like it would work well, have contacted them about it, and then been told that it has sold by the time I get off of work.

Not to mention that all hold music everywhere sounds like it was dubbed on a microcassette recorder with dirty heads and the VU meters pegged.

Take your phone with you to the bathroom. Search while sitting on the toilet.
The rod mill where I work will be shut down so we can rebuild the gearboxes and roll housings, for a minimum of two weeks starting this saturday. That means I work this week, m-f, then we're on mandatory 12's at minimum, up to forced 16's, for the following 14 days, starting this saturday, then the following week we finish up any odds and ends. 24 consecutive days (potentially even more) with no time off... the paychecks will be nice but this schedule is going to suck.

Oh, I can search and find things easily enough while at work- the problem is that I can't go out and look at (and potentially buy) something until I get off from work.
