this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My revelation of the day: you can't spell "Cupertino" without TINO.

IOW, FUCK YOU APPLE.

While my hard-earned money that I paid for the mythical laptop has already cleared the bank, the laptop is either (1) in The Rift, (2) serving double duty as a waffle maker for the UPS guy, or (3) Tino has it and he is LAUGHING AT MY PAIN.

I know it's totally a first-world, diamond-shoes-too-tight problem to have the luxury of complaining that the computer I paid for has not only not been delivered on time, but has apparently disappeared off the face of the planet, but can't be replaced until they can verify that I am not lying (as in, I really received the laptop but am saying I didn't, so I can get a second one for free). Except, there's this thing where they have the UPS information that shows that UPS NEVER GOT THE PACKAGE. I am not in cahoots with UPS, so I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP.

Bah.

Punishingly Intricate

You may have already done this, Steph, but send them a screenshot of the UPS status? If that is possible. How frustrating!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

For those who remember, TableTalk shutting down.

Art Crawl!!!

That's sad.

Also, (from a tweet from Mother Jones): Did the Florida Legislature accidentally ban sex?

You know: oops.

Aw, that bums me out.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Gosh. It's so weird. Now I'm having WXing and People's Forum flashbacks, as well.

Now I feel hella old.

They can access the UPS status from their end, too, so they can see it. I get that they have a procedure to follow, but it's long and frustrating and not very service-y to the customer.

ION, how do you kill ants? Other than squashing each one? I came home to a kitchen full of ants, and if I don't die from disgust, I have to kill them, but I have no idea how. This hasn't happened since I moved in with Tim, and prior to this I lived in apartments where you just called Paul the superintendant when bugs showed up.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ants? Traps.

Wow, Table Talk shutting down bums me out, too!

I got my new glasses in the mail! I know the are objectively 90% identical to my old ones, but I still think they look weird. I even took cell phone pictures to show you people, but even I could barely tell which was which in the photos. So I guess I'll keep them. They are weirdly sharper than my old ones, which I think is good, just needs getting used to.
