"I'm only 35 and yet I feel old."

It's unpleasant, but there's no point in worrying about it.

"I'm only 35 and yet I feel old."

40 is still young for me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

"What did I eat again today?"

lose one's temper

I stopped in at a brick & mortar today for the first time in months. It was surreal. This giant air-conditioned store, two employees playing on their phones, and no customers. A grid of surveillance cameras, everything over $20 spider-wrapped, and no customers.

In years past they had racks up to the ceiling Costco-style. Now it's floor-level only. You might not notice if you hadn't been there before, but 2/3 of the merchandise they used to carry is gone.

Boy, is it expensive to get something instantly. We used to take it for granted. They charge 3x what you would pay online.

Even with that markup, they're still going to go out of business. It can't pay for a giant empty store.

I guess I'm sorta back if I never really left; I just kinda got bored with the forums for awhile as I realized "Hmmm..... I've seen this exact thread topic before." over and over and over again (although i should've realized Adult Chat is just by definition limited in scope)

But this.... Yeah. This. I'm an old fart and wherever possible I shop brick-and-mortar. I've used Amazon less than a dozen times. It's worth a couple extra bucks to me to hold it, feel it, see the color, the size etc etc etc. and I know at least some of my money is staying in the local economy. So.... What's "The New Normal"? (I hate that phrase).

Where I live it's been "Oh, fuck- The Plague!" and shutdowns and curfew and craziness
And then "Yay! It must be gone!" and all the wilding and excess of that and then
"Oh fuck! It's *NOT GONE*!!" and blah blah blah. We've seen like seven different "New Normal"s. And we ain't there yet.
But whatever it is, it's gonna take a looooong time to get used to. The inertia of politics and policies combined with human expectations of what oughtta be, wishful thinking and outright bugshit stupidity means whatever the new normal is, no one's gonna be very happy about it. And luddites like me are gonna hafta realize new avenues of trade, methinks.

Fuck that was a long post.

Fuck that was a long post.

But it's worth to read (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Btw, seven "New Normal"? In my place its at least have happened a dozen time (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Feeling negative is a bad trend.

The consultants are a bunch of brats! We the contractor gave them several Hilux along with fuel cards, and yet they still insist that I gave them a ride to the construction site every damn time! The vehicle and free fuel are for such a purpose godammit, not for their personal use, especially by their families at home! They have the balls to complain about others' professionalism & "maturity" (referring to one's mindset), when they themselves are no different at all! I am just as busy and can't be expected to be their full time slave! There's not a day that I don't curse them behind their backs!

I want a free HiLux.
(I had to Google it)

Honestly, I've lost count. And as much as I complain, I know I'm very lucky. My company does defense work, so when the first curfew was called I was only off work *ONE* day. During whole first 10 months of plague, worked 6-day weeks except for five weeks were regular 5-day work cycle.

So many people all over the world were (and still are) hurting financially. I have nothing to bitch about.
But of course I still do 🙄

Hammers? Hammers.

Tired and frustrated

What was the last thing I thought?
No seriously, it slipped my mind, and I did want to post it (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

i hate my life

Why do stove clocks have to be reset every time there's a power flash?

I'm willing to take the time to accomplish something difficult.

Just dreamed of passing by a Jail and this morning I get the news about a Jail caught on fire with 40+ casualties

I had a dream last night. My arch-nemesis from secondary school pulled a prank by disguising herself as a vampire ("langsuir" or "pontianak"). I wasn't fazed so I shoved my whole arm through her throat.
