Fresh

I'm trying to plan a wedding and every single choice I make ends up being photographed and compared to what everyone else did on Instagram, anyway. Like I picked Spotify for the reception playlist instead of a DJ and suddenly I'm the cheap bride, or I'm looking at venues and every option feels like it's been done to death already on someone's feed, anyway.

So I'm trying to get a simple replacement card from my bank because the chip is acting up, and the teller tells me it's going to take 7-10 business days. Seven to ten. For a card. I'm out here covering school board meetings at night and council hearings in the morning and apparently I'm supposed to just... what, carry cash like it's 1987?

my partner keeps stashing their half-finished projects in my workshop and i genuinely cannot find my own stuff anymore. its like living in someone elses garage.

my sleep schedule is so *ucked that my body doesnt know what a migraine is anymore. just permanent static.

My neighbor keeps parking his boat in front of my house. Its been three weeks. I dont even live on the water.

home depot's been out of 2x4s for three weeks. bought a *hit ton of tools for this deck project and now im just staring at them.

kerbside finds are great til you realize bunnings' varnish section is smaller than my storage problem. where do ppl even buy the good stuff anymore??

why do political subreddits let the same five people write a novel in the comments while actual posts die at like 12 upvotes its so *ucked

got paged at 3am for a "critical alert" from our monitoring system. it was a warning about disk space on a dev server. a dev server. could've literally waited 6 hours.

my knee's been shot since that pothole on madison last month. physical therapy costs more than my bike did. this city needs to actually maintain its streets.

spent four hours in a crawlspace yesterday during the ice storm. Home Depot was out of every sump pump we needed. literally every one. *tf.

my knee's been angry all week and saturday morning's here anyway. gonna chase that pb straight into physical therapy, wish me luck

my knees decided saturday mornings are for protest now. chasing a pb and my body's like "nah" 😤

he only liked my stories when i posted about going out. stopped engaging the second i got busy with work. make it make sense

I got promoted to manage my old team and suddenly I'm the bad guy for enforcing policies we all complained about before. They won't take me seriously.

spent 6 hours in a attic yesterday. HomeDepot was out of every *amn insulation type i needed. wont be back til next week.

Look, I know the bylaws say we're supposed to submit maintenance requests through the online portal by the 15th of each month, but my toilet has been running for three weeks and I've submitted it twice and nothing. I even included the reference numbers, highlighted section 4.2.3 of our covenant, followed the *amn procedure to the letter...

waiting 6 weeks for a carburetor from japan so i can actually ride this thing to work instead of sitting in traffic like a *amn fool. bike runs fine, my commute dont.

the bus route i take passes three grocery stores but stops at none of them. its jsut me and ten other people rolling past fresh food every morning like some kind of cruel joke.

just did the math. eight hour time difference means i'm either up at 4am or working til 11pm every *amn day. my circadian rhythm is just gone. coffee isnt even working anymore.

my boyfriend scheduled our anniversary dinner at a restaurant that requires 6-8 week reservations. we're two weeks out. apparently "i'll handle it" means hoping they cancel.

I spent three weeks building this entire coastal merchant kingdom with faction politics and everything, detailed maps, NPC backstories, the whole thing. We finally got everyone together last Saturday and they immediately decided to ignore literally every plot hook and just wanted to buy supplies at the general store for an hour. An HOUR at the general store.

lost my united silver status and now im sitting in a regular gate area instead of the club. this isnt living, its *ell.

broke af and the walmart self checkout kept rejecting my kitten litter coupons. had to abandon my cart at 2am like a coward

I've been trying to get an appointment with HR for two weeks and the line is always busy. When I try to access the website it crashes. *amn, I just need someone to sign a piece of paper.

my back's been killing me since i started that deck project. pretty sure its the cheap lumber home depot sold me, not my form.

broke *f and walmart wont price match the cat food i found cheaper at target. literally just need it to be the same price so i can get it all in one trip instead of dragging four kittens across town twice

refolded the same table of shirts like five times today because people just cant put them back how they found them. im done.

spent two hours prepping, Whole Foods wine was $28, then my oven stopped heating at minute 40. guests arriving in 20. im still smiling tho.

the vending machine only has diet coke left and the tv is stuck on a cooking show. been here 2 hours. why does everyone else get to leave

im booking a trip for 8 people and not a single one has paid me yet. i have a spreadsheet now. a *amn spreadsheet.
