PP: Not having a Pet Peeves thread.

[Synaster]

Mine hadn't crashed in awhile. I suppose it's because I haven't used it for too many things for too long a time.

Does anyone else have an Afterglow Universal Wireless Headset and had similar problems with it? I let the battery in mine die (couldn't do anything else with it), so now it seems to be charging in the way it's supposed to. I'm almost afraid to touch it in case I "break" it again.

PP: Tonight. That thing I had to do? Read the sordid account here:

And the buffet is no joke either. Or the thing about the lager and my decision to stick to honest-to-Eris-cider.

pp: I finished the free episodes of Slayers on Crackle. I liked it. Problem is that either there was a movie between the two seasons I watched and definitely missed some things, or they left out a season or two. I like watching things in order. They only had the first season and another called "Revolution", whose graphics were definitely upgraded, so Crackle did skip a season or two, right? Highly illogical.

PP: I want to go see Top Gun, my favorite movie of ALL TIME, in IMAX, but it's only in theaters until the 13th. I get paid on the 15th.

This is the saddest PP of all time :C /looks up showtimes to go see it.


PP: I only get one day off, which is fine, but I have to work my other job and I hate it so much. My supervisor told me to not quit just in case I don't get the extended contract. But damn it, I want to quit there so fucking bad.

Do you even lift?
Do you even? lift

PP: Running a D&D game and realizing that Virtual Reality D&D would be amazing if it existed and yet it is so far off

[Synaster]

wtf does that even mean, Stan? I know it's a meme, but still... wtf?

[HK-47]

I think it means "Damn son,-"

Lets see... something about manning up like that kid who can lift mad weights, the buff burliness of that other young dude who can bench press two of you.

Watching in order for Slayers is so hilariously brutal. Don't think I watched anything that had half as many OVAs/Movies/Seasons as that.

PP: Just very lonely since the girlfriend is out of town and the friends are busy.

PP1:  Long wait time for the resteraunt I'm at.

PP2:  The shitty touchscreen detection my phone.  I keep locking topics in accident, I should probably find something else to do before I accidentally delete the forum or something.

[HK-47]

At least we'll know who to blame if the forums go down next time.

PP: Remembered the game that I should have bought ages ago in boxed physical form but now that I found it on Steam, I can't run it.

PP: I'm gonna be 20 in another couple months and I'm stuck at home with no job being depressed. What am I going to do?

[Log!]

I bet you'll eventually find a decent job and feel happier with life. Just don't stop believing.

PP: Jury duty? Aw nerts!

Protip: go to every restaurant near you--literally all of them--and apply for a job as a dishwasher. Trust me when I say that, for the most part, most dishwashers don't last long at all. So if they're not looking for one at the moment you apply, they'll be looking for one in the near future.
The place I worked at last fall had four diswashers, me and three other guys. Two got fired, and the only reason they didn't fire a third was because he was a roommate/close friend of the kitchen manager.
Being a dishwasher is barely a step up from being unemployed, but it's something, and many places pay them better than minimum wage because it's such a rough job. And if you're not a shithead, the rest of the kitchen staff will like you because the kitchen staff appreciates and understands the kind of shitty job a dishwasher has. In addition, you could eventually become a cook if you pay attention to what goes on in the kitchen, or a server if you prove you have the personality and work ethic, and both of those jobs pay a good bit better. Hell, even if you just move up to busser it's an improvement because in a lot of places servers have to giver a certain percentage of tips with the bus boys. At the restaurant I worked at, bus boys could go home with $500 on the busiest nights.
