Struggling with a trick at the skatepark. I totally have the skill and technique to pull it off, but I keep choking whenever I go to attempt it. It's entirely a mental block!

I hate being the only thing holding me back, being totally aware of it, and not sure how to overcome it.

(Trick is 360 over a gap.)

That's exactly how my day today has went, wanted to mow the lawn, but couldn't find my key to the shed. Then after my neighbor got home I borrowed her key since we share the shed, got mower out. Fresh gas, pulled and it won't stary. Spark plug is all kinds of fouled with oil, E36 M3 , put it back in the shed. I will look at it this weekend. Also had a cyst cut out of my face today. What a great use of a vacation day

Why do we have anything other than napkins, salt, and pepper on the table? She bought Eucalyptus at a farmers market. A whole bunch of it. I've been moving branches of a berkeleying plant off my table so that I'll have room to eat. Why do we need these here? What is their purpose?

To feed the koala bears, duh

Dressed up at work today, went as Finn the Human from Adventure Time.
Lots of people got it, lots didn't, but randomly, no fewer than three elderly gents (separately) decided to badmouth my being in costume.
To my face, the sort of things that would have prompted me to tell them to berkeley off if I hadn't been on the clock.
berkeleying old people.

Some people still want an atmosphere of professionalism at work.

I would be one of them.

On one than more occasion last night, I "accidently" dropped the candy that I was about to give to a kid when I realized I had a Heath bar in my hand. Oops! I'll pick that up later, here something else that isn't a Heath bar for you, kid!

We live at the end of what is effectively a dead-end street with no Trick-or-Treat-aged children within 3 houses of us. I'd not planned on getting any candy, but SWMBO decided that we needed to have at least some in case a kid wandered by. OK, fine- buy a small (30 piece) bag of mixed Reeses products and a bag of mellocreme candies (OK, those can't be given out- I just wanted them for myself). Of course, we got ONE kid- before SWMBO decided that we needed to go shopping and we headed out (not leaving any candy out on the porch of course).

So now we have an almost full bag of Reeses cups, Pieces, and Fast Breaks. Which I'd not be complaining about were I not trying to eat better and lose some weight after putting on a fair bit from being laid up injured for 3 months.

And of course, I get in to work this morning- and there's literally half a paper grocery bag of Hersheys and Reeses products sitting in the break room. Somebody obviously went WAAAAY overboard in buying candy...

I like a button up shirt. Not a fan of t-shirts. 95% what I wear has buttons. Work has decided that we need uniforms. They are getting us t-shirts, don't even have a pocket on them. I'm not happy. I'm a grown ass man, not a teenager.

I wear Tee shirts around the house, but if I am going anywhere, it is either a polo or buttoned up shirt or a sweatshirt or a sweater depending on the weather.

I feel naked in just a tee

A T-shirt is an undergarment. It is not outer wear. I blame the Navy.

Stopped at the grocery store for a couple things after work and ducked into the seasonal aisle to see if I could snag a bag or two of heavily discounted Halloween candy. None to be found, the Halloween candy had been swept clean and replaced with Christmas stuff already

So I say we'll keep texting each other during the baseball game. She replied to something and then...nothing. responds about 40 minutes later with, "Well you're not talking to me. Good night." How is this just my fault? It takes two to talk. I don't get this. Relationships. DAFUQ?

Today some blowhard on the internet told me that deviating from my normal workwear (shorts and untucked polo shirt) compromised my ability to do my job.
I'll make sure to wear a suit and tie every time I'm printing photos from here on out, just to be safe.

I'm confused. If you deviated from your normal workwear what were you wearing? And how did someone from the internet know what you were wearing and that it compromised the ability to do your job or even what your job is?

Edit; I missed the earlier conversation. All filled in now.
